Caretta
Caretta is a realtime AI sales-call copilot that answers hard technical questions while the buyer is still on the line.
Buy Caretta if your reps get asked questions whose answers live in a doc, a past call, or an internal Slack thread — and the buyer is waiting on the line. The $99 per seat per month Pro tier is the actual product: it removes the 10-call monthly cap on actions, checklists, web search, objection handling, custom prompts, and live sales intelligence, and it turns on the auto-learning shared brain. Stay on free Basic if you want a notetaker and post-call automations only. Skip it if your calls are simple or you only want post-call analytics — Gong is the stronger archive. Caretta is young, so weigh roadmap risk against the in-call speed advantage.

Skip Caretta if you only want post-call recording and analytics, or if nobody on your calls ever asks a question your rep can't answer from memory — Gong is the stronger archive.
Free Basic caps you at 10 Pro calls a month; every call past that needs the $99 per seat per month Pro plan, which is charged per seat, so a 10-rep team is roughly $990 a month if everyone makes live-assist calls.
Basic is genuinely free forever with 10 Pro calls a month, which is enough to validate the live layer before you spend anything. Pro at $99 per seat per month is the price of the actual product and lands in the same bracket as Gong and other conversation-intelligence seats, so the comparison is in-call timing versus post-call depth, not price. Enterprise is custom annual pricing per team and is the tier that unlocks SSO, SCIM, custom retention, and private VPC/on-prem — budget for a sales

About Caretta
Caretta is a realtime AI copilot for sales calls. It runs on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, listens to the live conversation, and surfaces answers, objection handlers, and in-call battlecards while the buyer is still talking — not in a recap the next morning. The product is organized into four surfaces: a pre-call brief with account history, open items, and the questions to ask; in-call live sales intelligence, an auto-ticking discovery checklist, live web search, custom prompts, and one-press actions (update the CRM, create a Linear issue, open a Slack channel, schedule the follow-up); post-call AI notes, summary, action items, follow-up email drafts, and CRM field and stage updates; and Caretta Metrics, which evaluates calls against your sales methodology. Everything hangs off the "Brain" — a shared layer that auto-syncs from your integrations and auto-learns from past calls, so answers stay current across the team instead of sitting in one rep's head. An Advanced brain tier handles many SKUs and constant change. The developer surface is unusually complete for this category: an OpenAPI specification, signed HTTPS webhooks (delivery is at-least-once, ordering is not guaranteed, AI notes are best-effort), and an OAuth-based MCP server that exposes calls, transcripts, and todos to compatible AI clients without an API key. The copilot installs as a Mac or Windows app. It is built for teams selling products they did not build — compute and inference, cybersecurity, insurance — plus founder-led teams turning a scrappy motion into a repeatable one. Pricing starts with a free-forever Basic tier that includes 10 Pro calls a month, moves to Pro at $99 per seat per month for unlimited in-call actions, checklists, web search, objection handling, and custom prompts, and tops out at a custom-annual Enterprise tier with the advanced brain, Caretta Metrics, SSO, SCIM, custom data retention, and private VPC or on-prem deployment. Caretta is backed by the YC-backed $1.3M pre-seed and the Robinhood Ventures Fund II investment; the public site is still early-stage, with Customers, Security, SDR, and AE team pages marked "Soon."
Behind the Verdict
Caretta's whole bet is timing. Most sales AI is retrospective — record the call, transcribe it, analyze it, ship a coaching report next week. Caretta argues the money moment is the thirty seconds after a CTO asks how your inference stack handles cold starts, and it builds everything around closing that gap. The live layer is the differentiator: live sales intelligence that surfaces an answer mid-call, an auto-ticking discovery checklist assembled from the deal plus your playbook plus every prior call, live web search for prices and specs not in your knowledge base, and in-call battlecards and objection handlers triggered by what the buyer just said. The one-press actions are the underrated part — send an invoice, update the CRM, create a Linear issue, open a Slack channel, schedule the follow-up, each pre-filled from what was just said and confirmed by you before it runs.The Brain is the second pillar. Auto-learn from calls and auto-sync from any integration are gated to Pro and above (Basic has neither), and the shared brain means a good answer one rep gives today is available to the whole team tomorrow. Caretta's own September 2026 blog posts lean hard on this: it argues that longer training bootcamps do not shorten rep ramp because memory is the ceiling, and pitches capturing top reps' answers before they leave the company. That is a coherent thesis and it maps directly onto the product surface.The developer story is better than the category norm. The docs describe an OAuth-based MCP server so compatible AI clients can read calls, transcripts, and todos with the scopes you grant and without an API key, signed HTTPS webhooks with at-least-once delivery to a public endpoint that must respond within 10 seconds, and a Zoom integration that requests only three narrow permissions — create a meeting, delete a newly created meeting if the calendar invitation fails, and read Zoom user and account IDs once so uninstall cleans up correctly. Caretta Metrics, which evaluates calls against your methodology, is a paid add-on on Pro and included on Enterprise.The weaknesses are real and worth naming. Live guidance depends on call audio quality and degrades on a poor network — if your reps take calls on bad hotel Wi-Fi, the core promise weakens. The Windows and Mac app is a download, not a browser tab, which adds an install step for every rep. The public site is early-stage: Customers, Security, SDR, and AE team pages are still marked "Soon," so you cannot read a SOC 2 report on the website — the pricing page says it is available on request across all plans. You also cannot see a customer logo wall before you talk to sales.Where it fits:

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas Caretta actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
You open the 30-minute expansion call. Caretta has already pulled the two prior calls, the CRM stage, and the open items into a brief with suggested questions. Ten minutes in, the CTO asks how your stack handles cold starts. Nobody in the room knows the number. Caretta's live sales intelligence surfaces the answer from your Brain, and you keep talking.
Outcome: You answer the technical question in the moment instead of promising to circle back, the discovery checklist ticks itself off as you cover pricing and timeline, and after the call Caretta writes the notes, drafts the follow-up email, and updates the CRM stage.
You're three weeks in and running real discovery calls. During the call your checklist shows what's still open while the buyer is talking, objection handling surfaces a response when procurement pushes on price, and one press updates the CRM before you've hung up.
Outcome: You run a discovery call that looks like a six-month veteran's without memorizing a battlecard deck, and the call feeds the shared Brain so the next rep inherits what you learned.
You connect webhooks to a public HTTPS endpoint that verifies Caretta's signature and responds within 10 seconds, and you give a compatible AI client OAuth-scoped access through the Caretta MCP server so it can read calls, transcripts, and todos without an API key or broader visibility than the user already has.
Outcome: Transcripts, AI notes, and evaluated metrics land in your own systems automatically, and your internal agents can query Caretta data under your existing permissions.
Use Cases
- Answer a CTO's question about your architecture mid-call without stalling to find an engineer
- Handle pricing and procurement objections with a live battlecard instead of a memorized script
- Run sharper discovery by working a live checklist while the call is happening
- Ramp new AEs faster by giving them in-call answers about a product they didn't build
- Keep CRM fields clean with AI notes and next steps written automatically after each call
- Standardize messaging with a shared, always-current Brain and custom playbooks
- Give managers visibility into which calls and deals are stalling via Caretta Metrics
- Ship call transcripts, notes, and metrics into your own systems with webhooks or the MCP server
Limitations
- Real-time guidance depends on live call audio quality and can degrade on a poor network.
- The copilot is a Mac or Windows app download, not a browser tab, so every rep installs something.
- Live sales intelligence, unlimited in-call actions, checklists, web search, objection handling, and custom prompts are capped at 10 Pro calls a month on free Basic before you need the $99 per seat per month Pro plan, and the auto-learning brain, integration auto-sync, and shared team brain are not included on Basic at all.
- Caretta Metrics is an add-on on Pro rather than included.
- SSO, SCIM user provisioning, custom data retention, and private VPC or on-prem deployment are Enterprise-only with custom annual pricing, so security-conscious teams below that tier stay on Pro.
- The public site is early-stage: Customers, Security, SDR, and AE team pages are still marked "Soon," and the SOC 2 report is available on request rather than published.
- Webhook delivery is at-least-once with no ordering guarantee, and AI notes are best-effort.

Plans compared
For each published Caretta tier: who it actually fits, and what it adds vs. the previous tier. Cross-reference the cost calculator above for projected annual outlay.
Basic
$0/mo
Ideal for
A single rep or a small team testing whether live in-call assistance beats a notetaker, with no credit card and no commitment.
What this tier adds
Free-forever entry point: notetaker, call brief, morning digest, post-call automations, Slack agent, MCP server, and 10 Pro calls a month covering actions, web search, checklist, and objection handling.
Pro
$99 per seat / month
Ideal for
AEs and SEs who live on calls all day and need answers mid-conversation rather than after it, priced per seat at $99 per month.
What this tier adds
Removes the 10-call monthly cap — unlimited in-call actions, checklists, web search, objection handling, and custom prompts — and adds live sales intelligence, the auto-learning brain, integration auto-sync, and the shared team brain.
Enterprise
Custom annual, priced per team
Ideal for
Large organizations with many SKUs and constant change that need SSO, user provisioning, retention controls, and deployment inside their own environment.
What this tier adds
Adds Caretta Metrics, the Advanced brain, Single Sign-On, SCIM user provisioning, custom data retention, and private deployment in your VPC or on-prem, under a custom annual contract priced per team.
Where the pricing makes sense
The company stage and team size where Caretta's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
Basic is genuinely free forever with 10 Pro calls a month, which is enough to validate the live layer before you spend anything. Pro at $99 per seat per month is the price of the actual product and lands in the same bracket as Gong and other conversation-intelligence seats, so the comparison is in-call timing versus post-call depth, not price. Enterprise is custom annual pricing per team and is the tier that unlocks SSO, SCIM, custom retention, and private VPC/on-prem — budget for a sales
Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Caretta — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
For an individual rep: download the Mac or Windows app, sign in, and Caretta can take notes, brief you, and run post-call automations on your own calls the same day — free Basic needs no credit card. For a team: connect Zoom, Google Calendar, HubSpot, and Slack in Settings → Integrations, which is a few hours including whichever admin approvals your Google Workspace, Zoom, and HubSpot owners
Switching to or from Caretta
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From Gong or an AI notetaker: run both on the same calls, compare Caretta's live answers against your post-call recaps, then move seats over as reps stop opening the old transcript.
- →From manual pre-call research: replace the doc-and-CRM scramble with Caretta's pre-call brief, which pulls context from past calls, documents, and CRM automatically.
- →From a memorized battlecard deck: load your playbook into custom prompts, then let in-call battlecards fire off what the buyer actually says.
- →From a shared Slack channel of answers: point the Brain at your integrations and let top reps' answers get captured before they leave the company, per Caretta's own September 2026 guidance.
- →From a Mac-only stack: Caretta ships a Windows app as well as the Mac build, so Windows reps are covered on the same plan.
- ↗To Gong: export transcripts and notes through Caretta's webhooks or MCP server into your own store, since Gong's strength is the post-call archive rather than in-call answers.
- ↗To a recorder-only notetaker: keep the free Basic notetaker and drop the Pro seats if you decide live assistance isn't worth $99 per seat per month.
- ↗To an in-house build: use the OpenAPI specification and signed webhooks to pull call data out, and the MCP server to give your own agents scoped read access to calls, transcripts, and todos.
- ↗To a dialler-centric platform: push call data out to your own systems first, since Caretta is meeting-native and doesn't replace outbound dialling.
