Sybill

What is Sybill?

Sybill is an AI sales assistant for sellers. It handles busywork like CRM updates and follow-ups, creates sales collateral like mutual action plans, answers deal questions in real-time, and manages and completes sales tasks automatically.

The goal? To help sales reps get out of their to-do list and into their next call so they can do what they do best: sell, not sales admin.

Gong

What is Gong?

Gong is a revenue intelligence platform for sales leaders. It records and analyzes calls, tracks activity across deals, and rolls everything up into dashboards and reports for coaching, forecasting, and pipeline reviews.

The goal? To give sales leaders more visibility into rep performance so they can coach their teams and forecast pipeline.

Why do we get compared to Gong?

On the surface, we look a lot alike. Mainly because we both capture, connect, and learn from everything sales teams say, send, and do.

We learn from the same data, but act on it differently

Gong uses sales data to help sales teams report up, we use sales data to help sellers move deals forward.

Sybill was built for sellers.

We both support sales teams, but Sybill centers AEs while Gong centers CROs. Why? Because reps spend 70% of their day on busywork, not selling. And no forecast or coaching hack will improve performance or predictability until you fix the root cause: giving reps time back to sell. So we start there.

"Sybill is like Gong on steroids … and maybe more importantly, it’s also a fraction of the price of Gong."

Sybill is a system of action. It completes tasks, creates collateral, drafts proposals, automates meeting prep, sends follow-ups, and updates your CRM. Gong is a system of record. It’s built to capture and store information — transcripts, dashboards, and reports. Useful for looking back, but not built to move deals forward.

"I used Gong at my previous company and knew I didn’t want to bring it here. It tries to do everything, but nothing really well — plus the interface feels dated."

Christopher Blom

Sybill is all knowing.
Gong is all blind spots.

Sybill is all knowing. Gong is all blind spots.

Sybill gives you access to cross-deal intelligence. That means you can ask Sybill anything about team performance, competitive positioning, buyer behavior, and pipeline health across all deals and get instant answers. Gong only lets you query single deals (and only reviews 10 calls from that deal), making it impossible to glean aggregate insights.

"I used to be a huge fan of Gong, but I think Sybill blows it out of the water, frankly — it’s so cool."

Christa Chavez
Sybill is all knowing. Gong is all blind spots.

"For the Cadillac price, you’d expect Gong's AI to be miles ahead. But Sybill’s is easily the stronger one. Sybill has freed up so much time for my AEs to focus on improving as sellers and people, instead of spending hours on busywork."

Where does Gong win?

Forecasting, analytics, and coaching for sales managers and leaders.

Forecasting and analytics for sales leaders

Our AI helps sales leaders predict deal outcomes to inform forecasts, but Gong has more robust revenue forecasting features and analytics.

  • Pipeline overview

  • Deal board

  • KPI dashboards

  • Metric libraries

  • Aggregate forecasting

  • Revenue analytics

  • Pipeline predictor

  • Deal prediction

  • Deal Risk detection

Coaching for managers

We make coaching and performance analysis dead simple—just ask Sybill in plain English. But for sales leaders of large orgs with multiple managers, Gong has more bells and whistles.

  • Self-assessment

  • Team vs. rep performance

  • Call scoring

  • Win/Loss insights

  • Trend analysis

  • Initiative tracking

  • Coaching metrics

  • Coaching inbox

Where does Sybill win?

Pricing

We’ve been described as “80% of Gong for 20% of the price” by Matt Green, CRO, of Sales Assembly. The math maths.

  • Pricing model

  • Licence

  • Platform fees

  • Implementation

Sybill
  • Product-led growth—buy as an individual or roll out as a team

  • Individual licenses; no terms required

  • No platform fee: start small, scale up as you grow without paying more

  • No implementation fee. Self-serve setup—get started instantly, no extra fees

Gong
  • Enterprise-only; requires large contracts and sales cycles

  • Locked into enterprise license with long contractual terms

  • Mandatory platform fee for base use and core features, regardless of team size

  • Requires paid implementation fee for onboarding services

Task execution for sales teams

Sales teams don’t need another call recorder filing up their to-do list with arbitrary tasks (Gong). They need an AI assistant who can create and complete tasks for them (Sybill).

  • Captures and creates tasks

  • Prioritized and completes tasks

  • Drafts emails

  • Creates sales collateral

  • Prepares sales proposals

  • Arranges meetings

  • Builds reports

Two different focuses. Two different days for sellers.

When the focus is on different roles and goals, a seller’s day looks completely different using Sybill vs. Gong.

  • Before meeting

  • During meeting

  • After meeting

  • In between deals

  • After close

Sybill
  • Automates pre-meeting briefs from CRM, emails, and past calls; highlights buyer context, objections, and deal risks so reps walk in ready

  • Acts as a live assistant—surfaces past deal notes, answers rep questions on buyers/accounts, helps with objection handling if needed

  • Automates CRM updates (100% fill rate), meeting and deal summaries, email follow-ups, and custom reporting

  • Creates, manages, and completes sales tasks automatically: writes emails, arranges meetings, creates sales collateral, drafts proposals, prepares handoffs, and more

  • Generates handoff briefs for CS, while also surfacing coaching takeaways and forecasting predictions for reps and sales leaders. Helps sales teams from wins/losses

Gong
  • Limited support. Gong records/analyzes meetings, but offers little proactive prep help for AEs

  • Passive recorder—captures calls for later analysis; doesn’t actively support AEs during meetings

  • Provides call transcripts and insights. Reps have to manually build AI “agents” to write follow-ups or update CRM

  • Focused on pipeline analytics for managers: dashboards and scorecards. AEs don’t get much direct help in pushing deals forward

  • Primarily a coaching tool for managers. Leaders review call libraries to coach, but reps don’t get automated insights or forecast guidance

The Ask Sybill feature is just crazy good. I ask, ‘Who did we lose a couple of months ago due to lack of a feature? Would it make sense to reach out again?’ And I’ve actually reopened a few deals this way. Product updates closed the gaps but Sybill helped me pick those threads back up and say, ‘Hey, want to revisit this conversation?'

Sybill has enabled me to be a leader that makes my reps better humans and sellers. It’s become very essential to how I lead. I no longer spend 90% of 1:1s chasing CRM updates; now I coach. If it disappeared, my team and I’d be in big trouble.

The AI in Sybill has made it so easy to get what I need. I won a deal by asking Sybill to give me quotes from 100+ calls about the cons of using a competitor tool. My CRM notes went from terrible to perfect. I’ve always had great ideas but with Sybill I'm a top performer by 30 deals. It’s 100% transformed my career.

Sybill takes a ton of admin work off my plate, and the level of detail is better than what I’d write myself. It just connects to Salesforce and handles every deal entry and update. I’ve saved so much time with follow-up emails, picking up where someone left off to responding to people I’ve never spoken to, all with Sybill's help.

I pay for Sybill out of my own pocket. That’s how much time it saves me. I spend less than 30 minutes from 1.5 hours a day on admin. The takeaways are accurate, and speak the exact terminology I need, even for large enterprise campaigns. Oh, and the email templates are chef's kiss. I have so many different ones for my meeting stages.
