Alternatives
Perssua alternative built specifically for sales calls
Perssua is the closest mechanism to Convency: a desktop app, no bot, that listens live and suggests what to say across interviews, presentations and sales calls, with live translation as a signature feature. Convency narrows that same real-time idea to one job: structured sales guidance, call memory and session history for people who sell.
The gap
Perssua's strength is breadth — one tool for interviews, cold calls, presentations and more, plus live translation. If sales is your specific use case, that breadth means less structure: no dedicated pain, objection or next-step scoring, and no sales-focused call memory across sessions.
Convency vs. Perssua
| Dimension | Convency | Perssua |
|---|---|---|
| How it reaches your call | No bot, no extension — taps your microphone and system audio directly | Desktop app, no bot — runs in its own window during the call |
| Live prompts while you're talking | Yes — pain, objection and next-step prompts while the customer is still talking | Yes — real-time suggested answers across many situations, not sales-specific structure |
| Built for sales conversations | Yes — every insight is scored specifically for a sales conversation | General-purpose (interviews, presentations, sales, cold calls) rather than sales-only |
| Independent mic + system audio | Yes — microphone and incoming audio are transcribed independently and fail independently | Captures the call to generate live suggestions and live translation |
| Call memory across sessions | Yes — session history and call memory carry into your next call | Session-based; translation and per-situation history |
| Where it runs | macOS desktop app | Windows, macOS, Linux |
Why teams switch
- You get help while the customer is still on the line, not a summary after it is too late to change the outcome.
- Every insight is built for selling — pain, objection and next step, not a generic transcript.
- No bot joins your call, and nothing needs to be installed inside the meeting itself.
- Session history and call memory mean Convency gets sharper about your product with every call.
Convency explains what is processed, why it is needed, and how you can remove your data.
Frequently asked questions
Does Convency replace Perssua?
Not necessarily — they can serve different moments. Convency is built specifically for live guidance during sales calls; if your main use case for Perssua is outside sales, that may still be the better fit. Try Convency free and see which one changes how your calls go.
Do I need to install a bot for Convency to work?
No. Convency runs as a desktop app that listens to your microphone and computer audio directly — it never joins your meeting as a separate participant.
Perssua also works for interviews and presentations — does Convency?
Convency is deliberately focused on sales conversations, with insights and call memory built around that use case. If you need a broader tool for interviews or presentations too, Perssua may be a better general fit.
