Gong vs Saleshandy: Cross-Category Comparison
Compare Gong (sales engagement platform) and Saleshandy (cold email platform) side by side. Understand how these tools fit different stages of your sales workflow.
Saleshandy comes first, at $34 a month billed annually, published as $408 a year, with unlimited sending mailboxes and no per-inbox fee on any tier. Gong publishes no price, only per-user licences and a platform fee based on users supported. Taking the small, published decision first costs almost nothing here.
Key takeaways
- Saleshandy connects unlimited sending mailboxes with no per-inbox fee on every tier, which makes a multi-domain setup cost the same as a single-domain one; the Starter tier is $34 a month billed annually, published as $408 a year.
- Gong's pricing page publishes a model rather than a price: seats, plus a platform fee sized on the number of users supported, with no figure on the page.
- The two tools are metered differently, which is what makes a headline comparison misleading: Gong bills seats, plus a platform fee sized on the number of users supported, and Saleshandy bills active prospects a month, with sends capped per tier and seats free.
- A feature appearing on one vendor's page and not the other's records what each vendor chose to publish. It supports saying that Saleshandy lists a capability and Gong does not, and never that only one of them can do the job.

Gong vs Saleshandy: Cross-Category Comparison
Saleshandy's Starter plan is $41 a month paying monthly, or $34 a month at $408 a year, and it connects as many sending mailboxes as you want with no per-inbox fee on any tier. Gong's pricing page has no equivalent line, because it has no prices: licences are priced per user, a platform fee sits on top based on the number of users supported, and the page ends at a form.
Unlimited mailboxes at $408 a year is a specific claim about sending infrastructure. It says nothing about whether the meetings that infrastructure books are being run well, which is the question the other tool on this page exists to answer.
Why Compare These Two Tools?
Email sending platforms focus specifically on cold email campaigns, while sales engagement platforms offer multi-channel outreach including email, phone and social. The comparison comes down to specialization against breadth of channels.
Gong is a revenue AI platform that captures and analyzes customer interactions across calls, emails, and meetings to deliver deal intelligence, forecasting, and sales coaching insights. It is filed here as a sales engagement platform. To be precise about what that means, its own pricing page is titled Gong Revenue AI Pricing and leads on deal intelligence, forecasting and coaching rather than on sending.
Saleshandy is a cold email outreach platform with unlimited email accounts, AI-powered sequences, built-in email warmup, and a B2B database it publishes as 852M+ contacts and 42M+ companies. It is filed here as a cold email platform, and its own pricing page rations active prospects a month, with sends capped per tier and seats free.
The category labels are the least interesting thing on this page. What decides the purchase is which meter each vendor bills on, which of the two gaps is currently costing more, and whether the second purchase can wait a quarter.
Where Each Tool Fits in Your Workflow
- Step 1Campaign execution
Saleshandy covers cold email outreach, from $41/mo.
- Step 2Outreach orchestration
Gong covers multi-channel sales outreach, on a quote rather than a published price.
| Aspect | Gong | Saleshandy |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Sales Engagement Platform | Cold Email Platform |
| Workflow Stage | Outreach orchestration | Campaign execution |
| Primary Focus | Multi-channel sales outreach | Cold email outreach |
| Starting Price | Quote on request | $41/mo |
| Capabilities Listed | 10 | 10 |
| Integrations Listed | 12 | 10 |
Gong's capability list is built around capture and analysis: call recording and transcription, deal intelligence and risk alerts, forecasting, coaching insights, smart trackers. Sequences appear once, as Gong Engage. Nothing its pricing page publishes speaks to mailbox warmup, domain rotation or a monthly send allowance.
Saleshandy connects unlimited sending mailboxes with no per-inbox fee on every tier, which is the single most useful line on that page for a multi-domain setup, and lists email warmup as included.
Pricing Comparison
Gong Pricing
| What the page publishes | Detail |
|---|---|
| Licence model | Priced per user |
| Platform fee | Based on the number of users supported |
| Integrations | Integrate your existing tech stack for free |
| Figures | None published; the page collects a team size band and returns a proposal |
Gong publishes a pricing model rather than a price. Its pricing page states that licences are priced per user, that there is a platform fee based on the number of users supported, and that you can integrate your existing tech stack for free, then asks which of four team size bands you fall into so it can prepare a proposal. Two things follow for a budget. The bill has two parts rather than one, so a per-seat figure quoted by anyone outside Gong is incomplete by construction. And the price moves with headcount rather than with how much outbound you run, so the bill grows when the team grows and not when the programme does.

Saleshandy Pricing
| Plan | Paying monthly | Billed annually | Active prospects | Emails |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $41/mo | $34/mo, $408/year | 2,000 | 6,000 emails sent / month |
| Pro | $99/mo | $76/mo, $912/year | 30,000 | 100,000 emails sent / month |
| Scale | $189/mo | $149/mo, $1,788/year | Unlimited | 200,000 emails sent / month |
| Enterprise | Contact Sales | Contact Sales | Volume and data on your terms | Contact Us |
Saleshandy connects as many sending mailboxes as you want with no per-inbox fee on any tier, which is the line on that page that matters most for a multi-domain setup. Its lead finder is metered separately at 1,500, 4,000 and 8,000 credits a month, and its B2B data is published as 852M+ contacts and 42M+ companies.

Pricing Context
One of these pages publishes a price and the other publishes a process, which makes a headline comparison between them impossible rather than merely unhelpful. The published side can be modelled today; the unpublished side is a quote, and a quote arrives with a seat count, a term and whatever sits outside the licence attached to it. Budget the gap rather than the sticker.
What A Two-Tool Stack Costs
Here is illustrative arithmetic, invented as a worked example rather than taken from any client, for a two person team running one wave of about 2,000 prospects a month.
The Gong page fetched for this comparison publishes no figure to put in this column, so the honest entry is a quote. Leave a placeholder in the model and replace it before anyone signs anything.
On the other side the model is arithmetic rather than a negotiation, because Starter's 2,000 active prospects is exactly the wave, and mailboxes are unlimited with no per-inbox fee. Saleshandy on its Starter tier is $34 a month billed annually, so one account subscription, seats free across twelve months comes to $408.
So the modelled year is $408 of published price plus one quote. A stack whose second line is a quote cannot be budgeted from a comparison page, and the quote is usually the larger number by some distance.
Three things make that quote arrive faster and closer to what you will actually pay: a seat count, because every unpriced vendor in this category starts there; the volume the other tool already carries, so the conversation is about what the platform adds; and a direct question about what sits outside the licence, since a platform fee, an implementation charge and a minimum term never appear on a pricing page.

Where The Two Actually Overlap
Saleshandy's published list is a sending stack with a database attached: unlimited email accounts, unlimited team members (Scale plan), AI-powered sequences, email warmup, verification credits, an 852M+ contact and 42M+ company database, a unified inbox, A/B testing, spintax and whitelabel for agencies on Enterprise. Gong's is an analysis stack. The lists cross once, at reporting, and even there Saleshandy reports on campaigns while Gong reports on deals.
The A/B testing line is the useful one for a cold programme and has no Gong equivalent, because Gong is not in the business of varying a first touch. Neither absence supports an exclusivity claim in either direction.
Do You Need Both, And In Which Order
Saleshandy first. Its Starter tier is $34 a month billed annually, published as $408 a year, and unlimited sending mailboxes with no per-inbox fee on any tier means a multi-domain setup does not change that number. That is close to the cheapest way to stand up serious cold capacity in this batch.
Gong follows once the meetings exist. The argument for reversing the order is weaker here than almost anywhere else on this page, precisely because Saleshandy is so cheap relative to the analysis layer: the sending decision costs a few hundred dollars a year and the analysis decision costs a negotiation, so taking the small decision first loses almost nothing.

Using Both Together
Both together is what a funded team ends up with, and the two systems never compete for the same job: Saleshandy runs the wave and Gong reads the calls it produces. The handoff between them is the meeting itself, and nothing in either tool automates that link.
House practice makes that manageable rather than theoretical. RevenueFlow runs one message per campaign, with no thread replies and no bump sequences behind it, so a prospect who appears in both systems receives at most one message from each rather than two escalating threads. The suppression list sits above the tools and is loaded into each of them before anything sends.
Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Slack appear on both integration lists above, and those shared connectors are where a duplicate is easiest to catch, because both systems can write to the same CRM record.
Rollout Notes
- Yes: Name the system that owns the contacted-already list
- Yes: Load suppression into both tools before either sends
- Yes: Send one message per campaign, with no bump step behind it
- Yes: Check the sending mailboxes are warmed and authenticated
- Yes: Agree in writing what counts as a qualified meeting
- Depends: Point replies at one inbox a person actually reads
Saleshandy connects unlimited mailboxes with no per-inbox fee, so the migration cost is time rather than licence: every sending address has to be reconnected and re-authenticated, and each one needs warming before it carries volume. Export the contacted list and the sequence definitions before the licence lapses.
Meetings are qualified against criteria agreed in writing before launch, and that definition should survive a tooling change unchanged. A tool migration that quietly moves the qualification bar is how a reporting line stops being comparable to last quarter's.
Decision Shortcut
- Name the binding constraint. List quality, sending capacity, or what happens after a reply. One of the three is costing more than the other two right now.
- Read both meters before both feature lists. Gong is priced on seats, plus a platform fee sized on the number of users supported; Saleshandy is priced on active prospects a month, with sends capped per tier and seats free. Adding a rep and adding a domain cost different things on the two sides.
- Price a realistic year, not a headline. Include the add-ons each tool needs to reach parity with the other, and leave the unpriced side as a placeholder until a quote arrives.
- Decide who owns suppression. One system holds the contacted-already list, and both read from it before anything sends.
- Re-check in a quarter. Whichever tool was bought second should have a measurable job by then, or it is a renewal to cancel.

Frequently asked questions.
Frequently asked questions- Does Saleshandy charge per sending mailbox?
- No. Saleshandy connects as many sending mailboxes as you want with no per-inbox fee on any tier, so a multi-domain setup costs the same as a single-domain one. Its Starter tier is $34 a month billed annually, published as $408 a year, and carries 2,000 active prospects and 6,000 emails sent a month.
- How does Gong pricing actually work?
- Gong does not publish one. Its pricing page states that licences are priced per user, that there is a platform fee based on the number of users supported, and that you can integrate an existing tech stack for free, then asks which of four team size bands you fall into. Budget for a two-part bill rather than a per-seat figure.
- How does Saleshandy pricing actually work?
- On active prospects a month, with sending mailboxes and team members free. Starter is $41 paying monthly or $34 billed annually, published as $408 a year, for 2,000 active prospects and 6,000 emails sent. Pro is $99 or $76 for 30,000 prospects, and Scale is $189 or $149 for unlimited prospects and 200,000 emails.
- Does a team need both Gong and Saleshandy?
- A funded team usually ends up with both, and the order matters more than the choice. The sending side produces the conversations, and the orchestration side reads and organises them. Load one suppression list into both before either sends, run one message per campaign with no bump behind it, and agree in writing what counts as a qualified meeting.
