Practice experience

Cold Call Gym was built around the phone. You dial a number, an AI prospect answers out loud, and you have to earn the next 30 seconds. The prospects push back the way busy buyers do: in 3,679 practice calls we analyzed, "just send me an email" came up in nearly half and "what's this about?" in 42%. You can also practice in the browser or the iOS app. Hyperbound runs in the browser, including screen-share roleplays for demo practice, and adds multi-party "buying committee" roleplays and 30+ languages.

Building scenarios

Both let you practice against prospects that match your market. Hyperbound builds bots from a LinkedIn profile, transcripts or ICP inputs. Cold Call Gym's Team Pro generates scenarios from your company website, pitch decks and objection list, and managers review and publish them before reps see them.

Pricing

Cold Call Gym publishes every price: Professional at $39/mo ($29/mo billed annually), Power at $99/mo, and Team Pro at $99 per seat per month with a 3-seat minimum and 20% off annually. Hyperbound offers a free plan and sells Practice and Perform through a demo. Vendr reports a median contract of about $12,000 a year.
