Shmeetings vs Gong
A complete comparison of privacy-first vs enterprise sales AI platforms
The Key Difference
Gong is an enterprise-grade revenue AI platform that requires company approval, expensive licensing, and sends your meeting data to external servers.
Shmeetings runs entirely on your personal computer, giving you an AI meeting assistant without waiting for company approval or compromising meeting privacy.
