Two philosophies

An agent to win the call. Or an OS to steer revenue.

Gong captures everything, analyzes everything, forecasts everything, after the fact, at the scale of an entire organization. Iklows plays a different game: whispering the right answer to your rep while the prospect is still talking. Our bias is explicit: that's where the deal is decided.

01
Before, the brief
The agent scans the prospect's LinkedIn, website and news, then generates an opener, qualification questions and likely objections. About 2 minutes, versus 30 of manual research.
02
During, live coaching
Suggestions displayed in under 800 ms, objections detected in under 2 seconds, buying signals and playbook progress tracked continuously. Silently, on the rep's screen.
03
After, the analysis
Score across 12 dimensions, intent detection, follow-up email drafted with the commitments made, CRM updated. All within 3 minutes of hanging up.

Two tools, one question. Where do your deals get won?

01 / Iklows

Iklows is the right pick if…

You want results this week: first coached call in 10 minutes, not an integration project
02 / Gong

Gong may fit you if…

You steer a revenue organization at scale: forecasting, RevOps, hundreds of reps
Salesforce is the center of your stack and bi-directional sync is decisive
Your teams sell primarily in English, across several markets
Frequently asked

Gong alternative: what we get asked

01
What's the main difference between Iklows and Gong?
Timing and scale. Gong captures and analyzes interactions to steer an organization's revenue, after the fact. Iklows coaches the rep during the call, with suggestions in under 800 ms, plus the pre-call brief and post-call analysis. One steers, the other plays the match.
02
Do Iklows and Gong target the same teams?
Rarely. Gong positions itself as an enterprise “Revenue AI OS”, with per-user licenses and a platform fee. Iklows sells per seat, from 1 rep, for French-speaking teams that want immediate impact without a rollout project.
03
How much do Gong and Iklows cost?
Both are quote-based, but the structure differs: Gong charges per-user licenses, a platform fee based on team size, and since May 2026 select AI features consume “Gong credits” (2,000 included per seat per year, with paid top-ups). Iklows charges per seat, with volume discounts from 10 seats, unlimited AI included, and replies within 24 business hours.
04
What about GDPR for a French team?
Iklows data is hosted in the European Union and never leaves it, with recording consent, right to erasure and encryption. Gong is a US company; hosting details are not published on its public pages.
05
Is Iklows only for teams selling in French?
No. Iklows is built French-first, its home turf, with an fr/en interface. The infrastructure is already multilingual: the real-time transcription engine and the AI agents natively handle other languages, enabled based on customer demand.
