Oliv vs Avoma, which one helps a rep during the live call?

Both of them say they do, and only one of them will put it on a bill. Avoma names the live layer on three of its own pages and attaches a price to it. Its product menu calls it Real-time Sales Guidance and describes it as Surface battlecards and prompts live during calls. Its home page calls it Live Answer Assistant, Handle objections in real-time with answers from an AI assistant. Its pricing feature table calls it Real-time Answer Assistant and puts it in one place, the Conversation Intelligence Add-on. That is a row you can buy. Oliv is the opposite shape. Of eight Oliv pages we fetched on 16 October 2026, seven contain the phrases AI Guidance During Meetings, live prompts, Live Scorecard and Rolling talk tracks exactly zero times. The eighth, oliv.ai/features, contains all four, including the sentence Oliv provides live prompts and insights to keep your meetings productive and your scorecards on track. That page returns HTTP 200 and it is not in oliv.ai/sitemap.xml, which lists 266 URLs, and no link to it appears in the HTML of the Oliv home page or the Oliv pricing page. So the only Oliv page that promises help inside the meeting is one Oliv does not submit to Google and does not link from the two pages a buyer reads.

How much does Avoma's real-time answer assistant cost?

48 dollars per seat per month, billed annually, and that is the cheapest published route. The live row is not in any base plan. Avoma's own feature table maps Real-time Answer Assistant to Conversation Intelligence Add-on, and the add-on is priced on the same page at 29 dollars per seat per month billed annually or 35 dollars billed monthly. The cheapest seat it can sit on is Startup at 19 dollars per recorder seat per month billed annually, or 29 dollars billed monthly. So the annual floor is 19 plus 29, and the monthly floor is 29 plus 35, which is 64 dollars. One more line on the same page closes the obvious workaround. Can I buy add-ons on a monthly basis if my subscription plan is annual? No, add-ons follow the same payment cycle as the subscription plan. You cannot take an annual seat and trial the live layer month to month. All figures read from avoma.com/pricing on 16 October 2026.

How much does Oliv cost?

Oliv publishes every number, and it prices by role rather than by feature tier. Read from oliv.ai/pricing on 16 October 2026: Converse 19 dollars per user per month, labelled for BDRs and SDRs, replacing Fathom, Fireflies and Granola. Sell 49 dollars, for Account Executives, replacing Gong and Clari. Grow 79 dollars, for Customer Success and Account Management, replacing Gainsight and ChurnZero. Amplify 0 dollars, for C-suite, Product, Operations and Engineering, replacing Glean. Add-ons are printed individually and they add up faster than the tier names suggest: bot-based meeting capture plus 10 dollars per user per month, Slack capture plus 10, WhatsApp capture plus 10, LinkedIn capture plus 10, Engage plus 29, and AI agent actions at 0.01 dollars per credit. The Amplify tier has no seat fee and the page says so directly, Amplify has no seat fee, with AI usage charged separately. Not one of those plan bullets names a live or in-call feature.

Do Avoma's pages agree with each other?

On the live layer, yes in substance and no in naming. The same product carries three different names on three pages we read the same day, Real-time Sales Guidance in the product menu, Live Answer Assistant on the home page and on the conversation intelligence page, and Real-time Answer Assistant in the pricing feature table. That is a search problem rather than a product problem, and it matters if you are comparing vendors with a spreadsheet, because a search for one of the three names misses the other two. On language counts the two pages disagree numerically. avoma.com/pricing says Supports 70+ languages for both transcription and translation. avoma.com says Automatic live transcription in 75+ languages. Both read 16 October 2026. We are not calling either one wrong, we are saying the vendor publishes two numbers and you should ask which one covers the language your team actually sells in.

What does Avoma give you that Oliv does not, and the other way around?

Avoma gives you the live answer card, plus scheduling and lead routing that Oliv does not sell as products. Its ladder is built around a recorder seat, with seat limits published per tier, up to 25 recorder seats on Startup, up to 100 on Organization, and a Minimum 10 recorder seats required on Enterprise, which is a floor worth knowing before you book a demo. Its Lead Router is a separate 19 dollar add-on and Revenue Intelligence is another 29. Oliv gives you an agent layer and a forecast. Its own words for itself are Agent OS for Revenue Teams and Your Revenue Org, Powered by Autonomous Agents, it names two super agents Oliver and Olivia, and it publishes a mechanism almost nobody else does, 100+ specialized small language models that each focus on a specific revenue question and precompute answers so the AI spends fewer tokens rebuilding context. One warning on that number, because it is easy to misfile: those are 100+ models, not 100+ languages. Oliv's transcription row separately says 100+ languages, which is a different claim on a different line.

If I only want help while the call is still running, what should I look at?

Read our bias first, because this is our site. Of the two vendors on this page, Avoma is the one that sells that minute and it costs 48 dollars a seat a month on an annual commitment, on top of which you get recording, transcription, summaries, CRM push and scheduling that we do not sell at all. Objeq sells only the minute. It is a Chrome extension with a side panel that hears the customer through the Chrome tab the call plays in, and it writes one line on the rep's screen when the buyer says something hard. It costs 99 dollars a seat a month for Starter and 149 for Pro, printed on our pricing page. Where it loses on this page, stated plainly: no dialer, no sequences, no forecasting, no CRM writes, no scheduler, no lead router, no call scoring dashboard, and nothing for a rep who joins the call from a desktop app instead of a browser tab. It replaces neither vendor here. One mechanical difference is worth knowing whichever way you go. Avoma's live help comes from Answer Cards, in its own words battle-tested answer cards, which means content a human wrote in advance, so an objection nobody wrote a card for gets nothing. Objeq reads the sentence that was actually said. That is the trade, and it is the whole reason this page exists.

Oliv vs Avoma: Only Avoma Sells Live Help

Q: Is Oliv a Gong alternative?

Oliv says so itself, twice, and in two different places. Its pricing page puts Gong and Clari under the Replaces label on the 49 dollar Sell tier, and it publishes a dedicated page at oliv.ai/gong-alternative which is in its sitemap. Its site navigation also carries the line Extorted by Gong?, read 16 October 2026, which tells you exactly which competitor it is aiming at. Avoma does not position against Gong anywhere in the pages we read here. Our own head-to-heads on that pair are at objeq.io/oliv-vs-gong and objeq.io/gong-alternatives, and our Avoma against Gong page is at objeq.io/avoma-vs-gong.

Oliv vs Avoma comes down to the live call: Avoma is the one that sells that help, at $48 a seat a month billed annually. Oliv's in-call promise sits on one page that is missing from its sitemap and from every priced plan.

TL;DR. Both vendors say they help inside the meeting. Only one of them will sell it to you. Avoma names the live layer on three of its own pages and attaches a price to exactly one place, the Conversation Intelligence add-on, $29 a seat a month on top of a $19 Startup seat, so $48 a seat a month billed annually.

Short answer. Both vendors say they help inside the meeting. Only one of them will sell it to you. Avoma names the live layer on three of its own pages and attaches a price to exactly one place, the Conversation Intelligence add-on, $29 a seat a month on top of a $19 Startup seat, so $48 a seat a month billed annually. Oliv is the opposite shape. We fetched eight Oliv pages. Seven of them contain the phrases "AI Guidance During Meetings", "live prompts", "Live Scorecard" and "Rolling talk tracks" zero times. The eighth, oliv.ai/features, contains all four. That page returns 200, and it is not in Oliv's own sitemap, which lists 266 URLs, and nothing on the Oliv home page or pricing page links to it. So if in-call help is why you are shortlisting Oliv, the promise is on a page Oliv does not submit, does not link, and does not name in any plan.

Where exactly does Oliv promise help inside the meeting?

This is the one question a comparison of these two has to answer properly, because the answer changes depending on which Oliv page you land on. So we did it mechanically. We fetched eight Oliv pages, stripped the tags, and counted four phrases Oliv itself uses for in-call help.

Pages with zero occurrences of "AI Guidance During Meetings", "live prompts", "Live Scorecard" and "Rolling talk tracks": oliv.ai (681,427 bytes), oliv.ai/pricing (305,362), oliv.ai/agents/coach (266,679), oliv.ai/agents/meeting-assistant (174,799), oliv.ai/converse (311,301), oliv.ai/sales (150,570), oliv.ai/gong-alternative (333,020). Seven for seven, zero for all four phrases.

Page with all four: oliv.ai/features, HTTP 200, 59,988 bytes. Its words: "AI Guidance During Meetings. Oliv provides live prompts and insights to keep your meetings productive and your scorecards on track." Underneath it, "Live Scorecard. Track your sales activities as they happen via live updates", "Rolling talk tracks. Oliv adapts talk tracks based on ongoing conversations and sales scenarios", and "Live transcription. With Oliv, every word is captured as it happens."

And the status of that page. oliv.ai/sitemap.xml returns 200 with 266 URLs and zero of them is /features. The HTML of the home page and of the pricing page contain zero links to /features. It is not blocked and not hidden: oliv.ai/robots.txt allows everything and the page carries no noindex. It is simply a page the vendor does not submit and does not link from the two pages a buyer reads.

Fetched 16 October 2026. Byte counts are of the HTML as served to a desktop user agent.

We are not calling this a trick, and we want to be exact about what we are and are not saying, because we got the search terms wrong ourselves on the first pass. Searching those eight pages for real-time and during the call returns zero on all eight, including the features page. Oliv does not use those two phrases anywhere. It says "live" and "During Meetings" instead. A comparison built on a keyword count would have published the sentence "Oliv removed its live features", and that sentence would have been false. The true sentence is narrower and more useful to a buyer: the features exist in writing, on one unsubmitted page, and they are named in no plan you can buy.

Our own earlier reading of this, dated, so you can see it move: on 29 September 2026 we recorded the same block on the same page in Oliv vs Gong, and noted that none of those feature names appeared in the bullets of any published plan. Seventeen days later the block is still there and the plans still do not name it. That is a stable state, not a transition.

What does Avoma charge for the live minute, and why is $19 the wrong number?

Avoma is the more straightforward of the two, and it is also the one people quote wrong, because the number on the big pricing card is not the number that buys the thing on this page.

The seat. Startup $19 per "recorder" seat per month billed annually, $29 billed monthly, "Up to 25 "recorder" seats allowed". Organization $29 annual, $39 monthly, up to 100 seats. Enterprise $39, "Billed annually only", "Minimum 10 "recorder" seats required".

The live row. In Avoma's own feature table, "Real-time Answer Assistant" maps to "Conversation Intelligence Add-on". The add-on is priced on the same page: $29 per seat per month billed annually, $35 billed monthly.

The floor, therefore. $19 + $29 = $48 a seat a month on an annual commitment. Monthly, $29 + $35 = $64.

And the workaround Avoma closes in writing. "Can I buy add-ons on a monthly basis if my subscription plan is annual? No, add-ons follow the same payment cycle as the subscription plan."

All read from avoma.com/pricing, 16 October 2026. Avoma also publishes what it does not charge for: "There are no setup fees, no minimum platform fees, and no ongoing fees to provide customer support", and "Viewers and Collaborators are always free."

Two things in that box are worth more to a small team than the price itself. The first is that the live layer is an add-on and not a tier, which means buying the pricier package does not get you the feature. Avoma is the second vendor we have measured where that trap is live, and the census of which plan actually carries the in-call row across twelve vendors is on our which plan includes live coaching page. The second is the payment-cycle sentence. If you sign annual to get $48 instead of $64, you have also signed the add-on annually, so a three-month pilot of the live layer on an annual seat is not a thing Avoma sells.

Do their own pages agree with each other?

Not entirely, and both disagreements are the kind that cost you an hour in a spreadsheet.

Avoma calls one product three names on three pages, all read the same day. The product menu says "Real-time Sales Guidance. Surface battlecards and prompts live during calls." The home page and the conversation intelligence page say "Live Answer Assistant. Assist reps to handle objections real-time with battle-tested answer cards", expanded as "Answer Assistant equips sales reps with real-time, contextual Answer Cards to tackle objections and complex questions." The pricing feature table says "Real-time Answer Assistant". Searching the pricing page for "Live Answer" returns zero. Same product, three labels, so a vendor shortlist built by searching one of the names misses it on two pages out of three.

Avoma publishes two language counts. The pricing page says "Supports 70+ languages" for transcription and again for translation. The home page says "Automatic live transcription in 75+ languages." Neither figure is unreasonable and we are not picking one. The point is to ask which list covers the language your team sells in, because "70+" and "75+" cannot both be the current number and the list is published nowhere we could find. If the language question is the one that decides your purchase, our census of what each vendor publishes about in-call language support is at multilingual sales coaching software.

And one Oliv number that is easy to misfile. Oliv publishes "Oliv's 100+ specialized small language models (SLMs) each focus on a specific revenue question", which are models, not languages. Its transcription row separately says "100+ languages". Two different claims, same number, three paragraphs apart. We mention it because a scrape that greps for "100+" files one as the other.

One thing Oliv does that is worth copying

This is not a buying argument, it is an observation about how the two vendors treat answer engines, and Oliv is ahead. oliv.ai/robots.txt, read 16 October 2026, explicitly allows seventeen named AI and LLM crawlers by name, among them GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot and five AI search engines, with the comment line "Explicitly ALLOW major AI/LLM bots". A default-allow robots file already permits all of them, so the explicit block is belt and braces rather than a change in access. What it does tell you is that somebody at Oliv is thinking about being quoted by an answer engine rather than only ranked by Google. Worth knowing when you ask ChatGPT which sales coaching tool to buy and Oliv comes back.

So which one should you buy?

Buy against the failure you actually have. Three failures, three answers, and two of them are not us.

Nobody can see what happened on the calls, your CRM is dirty, and your forecast is fiction. Either one, and this is where the comparison is genuinely close. Avoma is cheaper to start, publishes its seat caps, and throws in scheduling and lead routing. Oliv is the one with the agent layer and the forecast app, it prices by role so a 10-person team with two AEs pays less than a flat per-seat vendor, and it names the eight products it intends to replace. Nothing on this page tries to talk you out of either.

You want objection help on the screen while the buyer is still talking, and you want it on a purchase order. Avoma, and budget $48 a seat a month on an annual commitment, not $19. From Oliv you would be buying a feature that appears in no plan, on a page its own sitemap does not list, and you would be negotiating from a screenshot.

Your reps are on plenty of calls and lose them at minute four. That minute is the only thing Objeq does. It is a Chrome extension, it reads the objection that was actually said instead of matching a card somebody wrote last quarter, it prints its price, and it runs in Hebrew end to end. It writes nothing to your CRM, it books no meetings, it forecasts nothing, and it replaces neither vendor on this page, so it sits next to whichever one you pick.

Questions people ask next

Is Avoma a Gong alternative?

For the recording and coaching half of Gong, yes, and it is far cheaper to start. For forecasting and revenue analytics it sells a separate Revenue Intelligence add-on at $29 a seat a month annually. The difference that matters for this page is that Gong's own pricing page carries no dollar figure at all while Avoma prints every one of them. Our head-to-head is at Avoma vs Gong, and the wider list is at Gong alternatives.

Is Oliv a Gong alternative?

Oliv says so itself, in two places. Its $49 Sell tier carries Gong and Clari under a "Replaces" label, and it publishes a dedicated page at oliv.ai/gong-alternative which is in its sitemap. Its site navigation also carries the line "Extorted by Gong?", read 16 October 2026, which tells you who it is aiming at. Ours on that pair is Oliv vs Gong.

Does either of them work on Google Meet or Microsoft Teams?

Both record across the common meeting platforms, which is the easy half. The hard half is whether the live layer renders on a video call rather than inside a dialer, and that is a different question with a structural answer: a contact centre platform hands a vendor live audio and an agent desktop, while a browser tab does not. We worked through the five real-time vendors one integration directory at a time on coaching a rep during a Zoom or Google Meet call.

Which one is cheaper?

It depends entirely on whether you need the live layer, which is the whole point of this page. Without it, Avoma is cheaper to start at $19 a recorder seat annually against Oliv's $19 Converse seat for an SDR and $49 for an AE. With it, Avoma is $48 and Oliv does not sell it, so there is no number to compare. Watch the add-on columns on both: Avoma has three priced add-ons and Oliv has six, and on Oliv the bill also moves with usage at $0.01 a credit. Our census across 25 vendors is at sales coaching software pricing.

Where is the head-to-head against Objeq?

Both exist under the same quote-and-date rule as this page: Objeq vs Oliv and Objeq vs Avoma. If you want the list of which tools are genuinely in the live call rather than in the recap, that is best real-time sales coaching tools, and the numbers we publish about ourselves, including the ones that do not flatter us, are on the facts page.

Summary. Both vendors say they help inside the meeting. Only one of them will sell it to you. Avoma names the live layer on three of its own pages and attaches a price to exactly one place, the Conversation Intelligence add-on, $29 a seat a month on top of a $19 Startup seat, so $48 a seat a month billed annually.
