Frequently Asked Questions

How does Demodesk compare to Gong, Chorus, and Fireflies?

Gong and Chorus (now part of ZoomInfo) are enterprise-focused conversation intelligence platforms typically priced at $100–150+/user/month with annual contracts and longer implementation cycles. Fireflies and tl;dv are lighter-weight transcription tools at lower price points but with less depth in coaching and analytics. Demodesk sits in between: at €59/user/month (€49 annually), it bundles AI-powered transcription, automated CRM filling, coaching scorecards, pipeline analytics, and a new AI CRM Concierge — all with zero setup required. Demodesk also differentiates with GDPR compliance, EU data residency, and ISO 27001 certified data centres, making it particularly strong for European sales teams.

What does the free Viewer licence include?

The Viewer licence is completely free and gives read-only access to your team's recordings, reports, and insights. Viewers can analyse performance dashboards and gain visibility into conversations without hosting meetings themselves. Viewer users have partial access to AI Assistant, AI Coach, AI Analyst, AI CRM Concierge, Integrations, and Admin features. The Viewer licence is designed for managers, executives, or non-selling team members who need visibility without consuming a paid seat.

What is included in the Coaching & AI plan?

The Coaching & AI plan at €59/user/month (or €49/user/month billed annually) includes the full AI suite: AI Assistant (recording, transcription in 98 languages, AI summaries, follow-up emails, CRM sync, Ask AI), AI Coach (AI scoring, custom scorecards, conversation intelligence, deal insights, performance dashboards), AI Analyst (pipeline insights, GTM insights, product feedback, performance insights, Ask AI Analyst), and AI CRM Concierge (zero-setup CRM automation with AI object detection and field suggestions). All integrations (CRMs, dialers, calendars, video conferencing, API & Webhooks) are included. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required.

How does the AI CRM Concierge work?

AI CRM Concierge is Demodesk's newest feature and requires zero setup. It automatically learns how your team documents deals, contacts, and companies in your CRM. After each meeting, it detects the relevant deal (AI Object Detection), suggests which fields to update with drafted content from the conversation (AI Field Suggestion), and shows the reasoning behind each suggestion. You can approve updates manually or let them run automatically in the background (Human in the Loop). It integrates natively with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive.

Does Demodesk support languages other than English?

Yes. Demodesk transcribes and translates meetings in 98 languages with one-click translation. This makes it particularly well-suited for international sales teams selling across language barriers. The platform itself is available in English and German, and the company is headquartered in Munich with offices in San Francisco.

How does Demodesk handle data privacy and GDPR?

Demodesk is GDPR-compliant with all data stored within the European Union in ISO 27001 certified data centres, backed up across multiple regions. The platform provides GDPR-compliant meeting recording with custom permissions for internal vs external recordings, activity/audit logs, domain control, and PII data deletion capabilities. Enterprise plans add SSO/SAML as an add-on for additional access control. The security portal is available at security.demodesk.com.

Do I need to install software to use Demodesk?

No. Demodesk is a fully web-based application that runs directly in your browser with no installation required — for you or your meeting participants. It works on any internet-enabled device and is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. The AI bot joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls automatically once your calendar is connected.
