Two different products
Gong is a platform for recording and analysing sales conversations, with forecasting as one product on top of it. Noodle does one thing: it tells a sales leader where every deal really stands and what the forecast should be.
Noodle does not record calls and does not score or coach reps. If you need those, you need a call recording product.
Email is half the deal
A lot of what decides a deal happens between the calls: the pricing email that went unanswered, the champion who stopped replying, the procurement form that arrived early. Noodle reads the mailbox and the call transcripts together, deal by deal.

Choose Belt Noodle if…
- You want a forecast without buying a platform.
- You want pricing by usage, not per user.

- You want to start today and see the cost of every analysis.
