The category's most capable revenue intelligence platform and, unexpectedly, its best consent implementation — priced so far above everything else that it only makes sense for large sales organisations.

Choose Zoom AI Companion if…

  • → Pricing & Value matters to you. Zoom AI Companion scores 4/5 here against 1/5.
  • → Ease of Use matters to you. Zoom AI Companion scores 5/5 here against 3/5.

No longer Zoom-only: the 3.0 platform is a credible agentic assistant, but it stays cloud-bound and lacks the on-device processing and live coaching that set Hedy apart.
