/ Compare — Helix vs. legacy platforms

How Helix is different.

Legacy conversation intelligence platforms were built for a different era. Here is an honest look at the differences — in architecture, how calls are analyzed, and how the platforms are priced and configured.

/ Talk tracks — Four questions worth asking

Questions worth asking.

Each question below is grounded in a publicly verifiable fact about how legacy platforms are built and sold. The question is yours to answer.

Pricing transparency

Gong's pricing isn't public — it's quoted per company. When the price depends on the negotiation, how do you know what the value really is?

BasisGong does not publish pricing. Pricing is quote-based per company.

Per-seat model

Legacy conversation platforms charge per seat. Should understanding your own calls cost more every time you add a rep?

BasisPer-seat licensing plus a platform fee is the documented model for legacy platforms in this category.

Unit of analysis

Gong scores the call and the deal. Helix scores the exchange — the moment a move worked or didn't. Which one tells a rep what to change on the next call?

BasisGong's analysis unit is the call and deal: trackers, summaries, deal boards. This is verifiable from public product documentation.

Architecture era

Legacy platforms are adding AI onto architecture built before modern AI existed. Why retrofit intelligence onto a system that wasn't designed for it?

BasisThe architectural era of legacy platforms is verifiable. This track is framed as architecture, not conduct.
