Alternatives
Looking for a Tactiq alternative with live sales guidance?
Tactiq is a Chrome extension that transcribes Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls live and turns them into summaries and action items after the call. Convency starts from the same idea — no bot joining your meeting — and adds the part Tactiq does not do: telling you what to say while the customer is still talking.
The gap
Tactiq is excellent at capturing what was said. It will not tell you, mid-call, that the prospect just raised a real objection or that this is the moment to ask about budget. You still have to read the transcript afterward to catch what you missed live.
Convency vs. Tactiq
| Dimension | Convency | Tactiq |
|---|---|---|
| How it reaches your call | No bot, no extension — taps your microphone and system audio directly | Chrome extension — reads meeting captions, no bot |
| Live prompts while you're talking | Yes — pain, objection and next-step prompts while the customer is still talking | Live transcript and in-meeting AI summaries; no sales-specific prompts |
| Built for sales conversations | Yes — every insight is scored specifically for a sales conversation | No — general-purpose meeting transcription for any team |
| Independent mic + system audio | Yes — microphone and incoming audio are transcribed independently and fail independently | Browser tab audio only, via captions |
| Call memory across sessions | Yes — session history and call memory carry into your next call | Workspace search across past transcripts |
| Where it runs | macOS desktop app | Chrome extension |
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 Tactiq?
Not necessarily — they can serve different moments. Convency is built specifically for live guidance during sales calls; if your main use case for Tactiq 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.
Can I use Convency and Tactiq together?
Yes. Some teams keep Tactiq for general meeting notes and use Convency specifically for sales calls where live guidance changes the outcome.
