Frequently Asked Questions
Can Closer Mode AI replace Gong?+
For call scoring and coaching, yes. However, Closer Mode AI doesn't include call recording (we integrate with Gong for that) or revenue forecasting features. Many teams use both: Gong for recording and pipeline, Closer Mode AI for AI scoring.
Why use Closer Mode AI if I already have Gong?+
Closer Mode AI adds BYOK AI scoring on top of Gong. This gives you control over AI costs and lets you use models like Claude or Gemini that Gong doesn't offer. Plus, our real estate templates are more specialized than Gong's generic options.
Is the AI scoring as good as Gong's?+
Our scoring uses the same underlying AI models (GPT-4, Claude) with prompts specifically tuned for sales calls. Many users report comparable or better results, especially for industry-specific use cases like real estate.
What about data security?+
Both platforms encrypt data at rest and in transit. With our BYOK model, your call data is processed through your own AI provider account, giving you additional control over data handling.
