Chorus vs Jiminny: Feature, Functionality, and Pricing Comparison
Let’s start with a quick look at how Jiminny and Chorus compare when it comes to conversation intelligence, sales coaching, meeting efficiency/management, revenue intelligence, and team collaboration.
1. Meeting Intelligence (recording, transcription, note-taking) and Meeting management
Both Chorus and Jiminny offer call recording functionalities with most conferencing tools and offer AI-powered transcripts and notes from conversation analysis.
They also come with integrations for other important tools such as popular CRMs and communication tools such as Slack to ensure you get maximum value from meeting notes and recordings.
2. Email Intelligence
Both Chorus and Jiminny centralize and analyze key conversations across emails in addition to calls.
3. Revenue Intelligence
If you’re a large organization, Chorus may be more appealing with its activity threshold tracking, multi-threading across channels, and other revenue intelligence capabilities.
Its DealHub gives you the complete context of calls and conversations from a maturity and risk standpoint – and can help with advanced pipeline management and forecasting.
It offers alerts, deal recommendations, and rep improvement opportunities based on a risk analysis of the deal pipeline across channels.
Jiminny offers easy pipeline visibility, but currently, doesn’t have a strong focus on deal management or forecasting capabilities. However, if you’re a small business or young sales team, Jiminny’s revenue intelligence is all you need to view, track, and manage all your deal across sales reps and channels.
4. Conversation Intelligence and People Intelligence
When we talk about the application of conversation intelligence, we’re looking at the ability to learn from, and analyze, conversations to extract
- market intelligence (competitor mentions, key objections, feature requests, etc.)
- people intelligence (studying and tracking the performance of individuals in customer-facing conversations by tracking engagement, listening, interactivity, etc)
Jiminny and Chorus offer competitive conversation intelligence capabilities, making them ideal for customer-facing teams.
5. Sales Coaching
Both Chorus and Jiminny’s people intelligence and conversation intelligence ensure that managers and sales reps have the data/insights, context, and targeted recommendations they need for self-led and manager-led coaching.
Chorus has a Smart Playlists feature that lets you create coaching playlists based on criteria you've chosen (deal stage, keyword mentions, etc).
Jiminny has a designated CSM who works with you to help implement your coaching program.
If you’re looking for more guidance and support in implementing your sales coaching program, we recommend Jiminny – especially if you’re a small organization or early-stage team that could benefit from learnings from other similar companies.
6. Onboarding, Adoption, and Ease of Use
When you look at customer ratings, G2 user ratings show that Jiminny ranks almost 10 places higher than Chorus.
Chorus is mostly designed for and used by enterprise teams that often have dedicated personnel or training capabilities to assist with new tools.
Jiminny caters to a wider set of users and that explains a more user-friendly design.
7. Jiminny vs Chorus: Pricing Comparison
Chorus’s pricing approach needs you to go through a sales call and further qualification/negotiation conversations to know the pricing that applies to you.
However, estimates show that you could be paying $100 to $200 per user per month with a compulsory base price, working out to $1400 per user per year.
Jiminny has a transparent approach with a standard per-user price of $85/month for annual billing. It does not charge a platform fee – though it has a setup fee for onboarding.
Jiminny’s flat pricing also means that you end up paying the same fee per user whether you conduct a handful of meetings, or have a large number of meetings.
However, Jiminny also offers free user licenses for users who don’t need to record calls but just want to just listen to calls (Marketing team, Product team, etc).
