Gong tells you what happened. MagicScreen helps you win.
Gong is a powerful analytics tool — but it works after the call ends. MagicScreen works during the conversation, surfacing the right insight the moment you need it.
Gong is a recording and analytics tool. It tells you what happened after the call, puts the onus on you and your team to read the reports, and hopes you remember what to do differently next time. MagicScreen works in real time, on your screen, during your calls. It's the difference between getting it right the first time, vs. hoping you correct a mistake hours later.
What each tool is actually for
Gong
Gong is the market leader in conversation intelligence. It records, transcribes, and analyses sales calls at scale — giving managers visibility into what reps are saying, how deals are tracking, and where coaching opportunities exist. If you need call analytics, pipeline forecasting, and manager dashboards, Gong is a strong choice.
Post-call analyticsMagicScreen
MagicScreen is your live co-pilot. It works while the conversation is happening — surfacing objection handlers, battle cards, pricing, and scripts the moment they're needed. No prompting required. No alt-tabbing. You look like you know everything, because you do.

Common questions
Can I use MagicScreen alongside Gong?
Yes — they serve different moments. Gong captures and analyses what happened after the call. MagicScreen helps you perform better during the call. Many teams use both: MagicScreen for live intelligence, Gong for post-call coaching and pipeline visibility.
Does MagicScreen replace Gong?
Not directly. If your primary use case is manager-level call analytics, pipeline forecasting, and team reporting, Gong is purpose-built for that. MagicScreen is purpose-built for the rep in the moment — real-time guidance, instant answers, and script surfacing during live calls.
Does MagicScreen record calls?
No. MagicScreen is a native macOS overlay that runs on your device. It does not record, store, or transmit your calls. This also means no bot joins the meeting — your prospect never sees an AI participant in the attendee list.
How does MagicScreen surface insights without prompting?
MagicScreen listens to the conversation context and automatically detects when relevant resources should surface — objection handlers when a competitor is mentioned, pricing scripts when cost comes up, case studies when a prospect asks for proof. You don't need to ask; it acts.
What does MagicScreen cost compared to Gong?
MagicScreen starts free (5 meetings/month), with Pro at $49/month and Team at $89/month per seat. Gong is typically priced per seat per year with a minimum contract, often starting at $1,000+ per seat annually. MagicScreen is designed to be accessible to individual reps, not just enterprise teams.
