NextSay vs Convo: two real-time sales assistants, two different shapes
NextSay and Convo are the closest kind of comparison: both put AI beside a live sales call rather than after it. The differences that matter are the shape of the help (one assistant versus five agents working one deal file), how each treats the call itself (microphone beside the call versus in-call tooling), pricing model, and whether you can start free. Vendor details below are as published at the time of writing — confirm current plans directly with each vendor.
Pick Convo if you want a single real-time assistant and its workflow fits how you sell. Pick NextSay if you want the whole pipeline around the call — plan, brief, rehearse, live next moves, and the debrief — run by five agents on one deal file, and driven conversationally: you say what you need, in your words, with no complex UI to learn. Free to start with no card, from $16/month billed annually.
Side by side
| NextSay | Convo | |
|---|---|---|
| When it helps | Before, during, and after the call — one loop | During the call (real-time assistant) |
| The shape | Five agents on one deal file: Planner, Intel, Roleplay, Copilot, Analyst | A single real-time assistant |
| How it listens | Device microphone beside the call — no bot joins, nothing in the participant list | Also positioned as bot-free / rep-first (confirm current mechanics with the vendor) |
| Entry price | From $16/month billed annually (or $24.99 monthly) | $22.49/month as published at the time of writing |
| Free tier | $0, no card — 1 h Copilot + 2 h Meeting Notes monthly | No comparable free tier visible at the time of writing |
| Billing model | Hours of live guidance — you pay for time the Copilot is on calls, not seats | Per-seat subscription |
| After the call | Transcript-grounded analysis, commitments verbatim, follow-up draft | Confirm scope with the vendor |
| How you drive it | Purely conversational — say “plan my call with Jon”, “research them”, “drill that objection” and it happens; records appear beside the chat | Product UI (confirm current workflow with the vendor) |
The shape of the help
A single assistant answers the moment. A loop compounds: NextSay’s Planner sets the call up, Intel researches the company or person, Roleplay rehearses the call you are about to have, Copilot surfaces the next move and Key Signals while you talk, and the Analyst writes the record the next call starts from — commitments taken verbatim from the transcript, never invented. Each agent reads and writes the same deal file, so nothing is retyped between steps.
NextSay listens through the device microphone, beside the call. Zoom, Teams, Meet on speakers; a phone on speakerphone; a table between you. Nothing joins the call and nothing appears in the participant list — the other side sees exactly the call they expected.
Free to start, no card — the first cue on a live call is the honest demo.
Pricing and getting started
NextSay starts at $0 with no card — one hour of live Copilot and two hours of Meeting Notes every month, on real calls. Paid plans start at $16/month billed annually and buy more hours of live guidance; transcripts, summaries, notes, and follow-ups are included on every tier. Convo lists $22.49/month at the time of writing without a comparable visible free tier. Pricing changes; check both pricing pages the week you decide.
How to evaluate both
Run the same test on each: a real call with a price objection, a prospect who needs to think, and an unclear next step. Judge the cue quality — concise, timely, grounded in what was actually said, easy to ignore when irrelevant — and what each product leaves you with when the call ends. Ask both vendors what is stored, where, and how to delete it.
