For sales reps who want live tips during calls, a strong Avoma alternative is Koachly: live tips included on Pro, no bot in the meeting (you tell the buyer you use a coaching tool), a free plan and Pro at $49 per user a month. Other good options are Fireflies, Otter and Gong, depending on whether you want cheap notes or deal reviews.
Avoma pricing: public prices, coaching extra
Avoma is one of the few tools here with public prices. Plans start from $19 per seat a month, billed yearly. Coaching features are a paid add-on, through its Conversation Intelligence add-on, so check its pricing page for the full cost with coaching.
Koachly Pro is $49 a month, or $39 billed yearly. Live tips, Call scores and practice are all included, with no add-on to buy. What decides it is how you get coached.

Avoma offers a 14-day trial, and viewers are free, but there’s no free plan for recording seats. Koachly’s plans are all on the Koachly pricing page.
What Avoma is good at
Avoma does a lot, and its prices are clear. It’s a good fit for these jobs:
- Recording meetings and writing AI summary notes, on every plan.
- Summaries you can share with people who missed the call.
- Live answer cards, battlecards and scorecards, if you add Conversation Intelligence.
- Monthly billing on some plans, and it doesn’t train models on customer data.
Where Avoma falls short for coaching reps
Avoma is built mainly as a meeting assistant. Coaching is something you add on. That works for teams that want notes first. It’s less handy if coaching is the whole reason you’re buying.
- Live answer cards, scorecards and coaching tips are a paid add-on.
- The pre-meeting brief needs Enterprise or an add-on.
- Its bot joins meetings by default, so buyers may see an extra guest.
- Its site doesn’t list practice with an AI buyer.
Koachly puts the whole loop in one plan. Call prep before the call. Live tips during it. A Call score and 3 fixes after. Then you rehearse those fixes before the next real buyer.
The 4 best Avoma alternatives
1. Koachly: best for reps who want coaching included
For about the same price, Koachly is a coach first. Live coaching puts short private tips on your screen. No bot joins the meeting, and you tell the buyer you use a coaching tool. After, you get a Call score with 3 fixes. Then you practice those fixes with an AI buyer. Free to start, Pro is $49 per user a month.
2. Fireflies.ai: best for cheap, searchable notes
Fireflies is an AI notetaker that records and summarizes meetings. It has a free plan, and paid plans start from about $10 per user a month. Its desktop app adds Live Assist suggestions during calls. A bot joins by default. See our Koachly vs Fireflies comparison.
3. Otter.ai: best for a simple live transcript
Otter shows a live transcript and writes meeting notes. It has a free plan with limited minutes, and paid plans from about $8 a month. In-call sales tips exist, but only on Enterprise. Read the Koachly vs Otter comparison.
4. Gong: best for big teams reviewing deals
Gong records calls and helps leaders review deals and forecasts. It also has AI meeting prep, automatic scorecards and AI Trainer buyer role-play. It costs more, about $140 per user a month by public estimates, plus a platform fee. Our Koachly vs Gong comparison covers who it suits.
Who should stay with Avoma
- You mainly want notes and summaries, not coaching.
- You run lots of internal and client meetings as well as sales calls.
