In the rest of this Chorus vs Avoma comparison, we evaluate both Chorus and Avoma along these parameters so you have all the information you need to make a decision.
1. Meeting Intelligence (recording, transcription, note-taking)
Chorus and Avoma, like any conversation intelligence worth its name, offer call recording functionalities and AI-powered transcription and conversation analysis.
Avoma’s inbuilt editor additionally enables collaborative note-taking – which means that multiple users can edit or make notes on the same call simultaneously.
2. Meeting Management and Collaboration
Features like CRM integrations, and collaboration features (within and across teams) fall into this category.
Avoma and Chorus both boost efficiency and time savings through automated CRM entry and aid collaboration through the call sharing and snippet-sharing features.
However, when it comes to meeting efficiency, Avoma has a clear focus on meeting assistance throughout the lifecycle of a meeting.
3. Email Intelligence
Chorus analyzes email conversations in addition to other channels and bubbles up insights that draw from both.
However, Avoma positions itself as an AI Meeting Assistant with actionable Conversation Intelligence. This means that its core focus is analyzing voice conversations.
This probably explains why it does not offer email intelligence capabilities.
4. Revenue Intelligence
Chorus has a slight edge here given its focus on tracking activity thresholds, executive involvement, and multi-threading across channels.
It also has more advanced pipeline management and forecast intelligence with a Deal Hub that gives one the complete context of calls and conversations from a maturity and risk standpoint.
5. Conversation Intelligence and People Intelligence
When you think about a sales intelligence tool, you’re essential looking at the ability to extract
- Market intelligence or business-relevant information, such as competitor mentions, key objections, feature requests, etc., and
- People intelligence such as by tracking engagement and listening (talk time percentage, questions asked, monologue durations, etc.)
Both Avoma and Chorus offer this, making them ideal for customer-facing teams.
6. Sales Coaching
Chorus has coaching functionality integrated into its UI and helps
- managers easily identify coaching moments and track the team’s (and each rep’s) performance
- sales reps implement self-and peer learning
Avoma too, does a great job at helping sales teams implement coaching with data-powered recommendations for personalized coaching.
With both Chorus and Avoma, sales managers and reps have access to winning talk patterns, replicable talk tracks, curated playlists, and custom coaching programs – ultimately making it about how well you can use all the insights these platforms surface.

Here’s why we think this is the case – Chorus is mostly designed for, and used by enterprise teams. Avoma is designed for wider usage within mid-market and smaller companies that prioritize quick onboarding and a clean UI or a lean feature set.
Avoma also offers a free trial so you can assess its fit with your team and use case.

Wrapping Up

Our thoughts:
If you’re looking for an enterprise solution or the closest Gong alternative, Chorus is an easy choice.
However, Avoma offers most of the conversational intelligence features a business needs – especially in the mid-market segment. It doesn’t heavily focus on revenue and deal intelligence, which might limit its applicability for sales leaders.
If you merely need an AI meeting assistant, Avoma is an easy and great choice.
One drawback is the annual commitment and minimum user requirement for its revenue intelligence features. Even the starter plans demand an annual commitment and a minimum of three users.
