How Tangelo and Highspot compare

This table compares Tangelo and Highspot on seven workflows a sales team might weigh when choosing an enablement platform. Highspot sells its features in three plans, so check which plan includes each Highspot feature you need⁠¹.
What to compare	Tangelo	Highspot
Automated training rollout to reps	Tangelo's AI agents enroll reps, manage cohorts, schedule live training sessions and remind reps in Slack and email about upcoming sessions and unfinished training⁠^2,3.	Highspot builds AI learning paths tailored to each role, sends automated reminders and runs live training events⁠^1,4.
Building a training program	Tangelo turns a prompt into a full, sequenced onboarding program, certification, sales kickoff or product launch for your team to review and launch⁠².	Highspot offers “AI-accelerated authoring of courses and criteria based on best-practices and your existing content”⁠⁵.
Learning paths and certifications	Tangelo's Learning Management System builds each rep's learning path from that rep's role, region, team, quota and real calls, and keeps adapting it as the rep progresses. Those paths can include badges, certifications and live sessions⁠^3,6. Tangelo also imports SCORM (packaged e-learning) courses⁠⁷.	Highspot offers adaptive learning paths that change with each rep's role, skills and performance level, plus certifications, SCORM course imports, and live and on-demand training⁠⁵.
AI roleplay with feedback and scoring	Tangelo Roleplay is frequently praised for realism and immersiveness. It builds deal simulations, including product demos where the rep shares a screen, from your ideal customer profiles, messaging, playbooks and call data. After each simulation, Tangelo scores the rep on a scorecard, and the AI that played the buyer coaches the rep on what to fix⁠⁸.	Highspot's AI Role Play builds practice conversations from your content and deals, with several buyer personas in one session⁠⁹. Highspot gives feedback on delivery and tone and includes Rep Scorecards⁠⁹.
Learning from reps' real customer calls	Tangelo's Call Intelligence uses AI agents to analyze calls, find each rep's skill gaps, write personalized coaching recommendations and build roleplays for that rep⁠². Tangelo then checks that rep's later calls for whether the skill gap closed⁠².	Highspot records meetings automatically and scores calls against a skill framework⁠^10,11. Its “Coach and reinforce” plan adds “AI feedback on meetings”⁠¹, and managers can coach reps with “time-stamped comments”⁠¹⁰.
AI assistant for reps	During a real call, Tangelo's AI Sidekick gives reps answers to prospect questions in real time, trackable call scripts and in-the-moment advice on what to say next. AI Sidekick is part of Tangelo's top plan, AI-Powered Enablement⁠¹².	Highspot's AI agents give “fast, trusted answers and guidance” grounded in your approved content, and Highspot's Deal Agent, also in Slack and Salesforce, recommends actions that keep deals moving⁠¹³.
Finding and managing sales content	You can store sales content in Tangelo, and Tangelo's AI content search also finds answers where they already live: in your customer relationship management (CRM) system, as well as in Google Drive, SharePoint and Confluence⁠^2,12.	Highspot's AI searches a content library with publishing controls and writes answers from it, and Highspot adds approval workflows, bulk content audits and document autogeneration⁠^1,14.

The main difference

Want programs built from your employee data and each rep's real calls, with AI agents enrolling reps and scheduling training? That's Tangelo⁠^2,6.

Want a content library with tight publishing controls at the center, with training and coaching in Highspot's higher plans? That's Highspot⁠^1,14.

Tangelo and Highspot both put training, practice and content in one platform.

What Tangelo is: Tangelo is a Highspot alternative whose AI agents run enablement programs and sales onboarding, on one platform with content management, learning management, AI roleplay, Call Intelligence, reporting and digital sales rooms. Tangelo fits teams managing onboarding, product launches, and ongoing coaching when responsibilities keep growing faster than headcount.
In practice: At ZoomInfo, Tangelo’s onboarding automation freed up almost 300 hours a month for the learning and development team by sending calendar invites, Slack messages and emails, and tracking attendance. ZoomInfo's learning and development team now spends those hours developing new programs⁠⁷.

How Tangelo works

Our solutions take advantage of and contribute to one shared, continuously updated context layer. Tangelo's enablement programs, roleplay practice, content delivery, Call Intelligence and reporting draw from the same company and rep data. When Call Intelligence spots a skill gap, such as weak objection handling, on a rep's real call, Tangelo assigns that rep a roleplay to practice that skill, tracks the rep's progress on that skill over time, and checks the rep's later calls for whether the gap closed⁠².

What sets Tangelo apart

Each rep's learning path: built from your employee data, updated automatically with every call

Tangelo draws employee data from the systems your company already uses. Each path is “built from the role, the team, the quota, and what's actually happening on this rep's calls.”⁠⁶

Customer story · Justworks

Justworks runs a go-to-market organization of more than 500 revenue team members across 20+ distinct roles.

Justworks’ enablement team, led by Talia Babel Jones, “rebuilt the entire onboarding program inside Tangelo: learning pathways, cohort calendaring, AI‑powered roleplay, and manager dashboards, all integrated rather than stitched together from separate tools.”

Where Tangelo reduces the work of running enablement

Running an onboarding program means assigning training, booking sessions, giving managers and mentors their tasks, tracking attendance, following up on missed sessions, and alerting managers when a new hire falls behind. Each new role, region, or cohort adds another version of that work for the enablement team to manage.

Tangelo's onboarding automation assigns training, schedules live sessions, tracks attendance and follows up on missed sessions for your team, using information such as role, location, start date, and cohort⁠^2,3.

Programs in Tangelo can combine learning, live sessions, practice, and certification, with communications delivered through tools such as Slack, email, and calendars⁠³.

Across ZoomInfo's onboarding program, Tangelo has sent more than 20,000 calendar invites and 13,000 Slack messages that ZoomInfo's team would otherwise have sent by hand⁠⁷.

Tangelo's AI agents group reps into onboarding, certification and product-launch cohorts, and send the reminders and follow-ups for each cohort⁠². With those tasks automated, a small enablement team can spend more time improving programs and coaching reps.

What Tangelo uses to build training and practice

Tangelo builds your programs and practice from your company's context: your products, ideal customer profiles, positioning, messaging and sales motion.

Tangelo's Program Builder can turn a prompt into a structured, sequenced program for your team to review and launch⁠².

Tangelo's AI roleplay builds practice scenarios from your company's context, along with your playbooks and call data⁠⁸. Tangelo's Call Intelligence adds each rep's real calls to that context, finds the rep's skill gaps and sends the rep personalized coaching⁠².

Initiatives you could run in Tangelo:

Preparing someone for a new role. Assign a learning path for the new role, coordinate live sessions and manager check-ins, and include practice and certification before they work independently.
Launching a product or changing the pitch. Build a program from the approved materials, assign it to the relevant teams, and have reps practice the new message against buyer questions and objections.
Improving an existing skill. Use calls to identify where a rep struggles, assign focused practice, and give the manager scorecards to review alongside the rep's later calls.

Growing from one program to several

After working with Tangelo on onboarding, ZoomInfo chose to build its wider learning program with the Tangelo team. JJ Steele, ZoomInfo's Director of Learning & Development, explained why:

We didn't want to waste time. We wanted to work alongside the Tangelo team and use that time to build.⁠⁷

When Tangelo published ZoomInfo's story, ZoomInfo was weeks away from rolling out Tangelo as its company-wide learning platform, including compliance training, to all of its employees and contractors⁠⁷. To grow the same way, start with one program, such as onboarding, connect the systems it needs, and add other programs as your priorities change.

Which product is a better fit for your team?

Choose Tangelo if…

You want reporting every level can use, from a rep's manager up to the CRO.
Managers see progress by rep, team and cohort⁠⁶. That reporting rolls up automatically to directors, VPs and the CRO. The same reports put reps' roleplay scores, scorecards and certification results next to their meetings booked, stage conversion, win rate and revenue, and you can ask in plain language which skills your top performers score highest on⁠².
You want roleplays that stay current as your products and positioning change, without anyone updating them by hand.
Tangelo's roleplays update themselves from your latest positioning, products and company news.
You want to enroll, schedule and train a whole sales team in one rollout.
Tangelo's AI agents enroll reps, manage cohorts, schedule live training sessions and remind reps in Slack and email about upcoming sessions and unfinished training⁠^2,3. Tangelo's AI agents also follow up on missed sessions and alert managers when a rep's progress and call data suggest the rep is at risk of falling behind⁠^3,6.
You want a deal room ready when the call ends.
When a sales call ends, a Tangelo AI agent drafts the deal room and asks the rep for approval to send⁠¹⁵.

How Highspot compares

You want reporting every level can use, from a rep's manager up to the CRO.: Highspot tracks each rep's skill growth on Rep Scorecards and coaching on Team Dashboards, and its analytics show “which content, training, or actions drive revenue”⁠¹⁶. Its Manager Scorecards let managers “compare performance and prioritize coaching tasks.”⁠¹⁷
You want roleplays that stay current as your products and positioning change, without anyone updating them by hand.: Highspot builds roleplays from “the content, messaging, coaching, and deal context already in Highspot.”⁠⁹
You want to enroll, schedule and train a whole sales team in one rollout.: Highspot builds “AI-driven learning paths tailored to each seller's role and needs,”⁠⁴ sends automated reminders and runs live training events⁠¹, and managers can assign training straight from Highspot's analytics⁠⁴.
You want a deal room ready when the call ends.: In Highspot, reps send Digital Rooms built from “marketing-approved templates with preloaded content,”⁠¹⁸ and Highspot's Deal Agent “automates actions like sending content or launching a Digital Room.”⁠¹⁷

Where Highspot may be the better fit

Choose Highspot when your main requirement is managing a complex sales content library. Highspot's deeper content management capabilities are a better fit for organizations that need policies to “control publishing, customization and sharing,”⁠¹⁴ governance that extends to partners⁠¹, and advanced document customization and assembly⁠¹.

Before switching, list the content controls your team relies on. Highspot’s enterprise capabilities include multistep approvals, advanced watermarks, linked templates, and document autogeneration⁠¹. Tangelo's simpler content management may leave gaps for teams that depend on those functions.

Tangelo supports importing externally authored SCORM courses, but it doesn't include a full native tool for authoring interactive SCORM content. Check the authoring tools, reporting, and compliance records your learning team needs before deciding what to replace.

Cost and switching from Highspot

Highspot's published plans are “Equip and engage,” “Train and practice” and “Coach and reinforce.” Highspot doesn't list a price for any of them⁠¹, and Tangelo provides “custom quotes rather than a public list price”⁠¹².

Tangelo's AI Digital Sales Room is part of Tangelo's top plan, AI-Powered Enablement, or can be added to another plan as a module⁠¹².

Compare quotes for the capabilities, integrations and support you need, alongside implementation and the staff time each platform takes to run.

Replacing Highspot doesn't have to mean replacing the other tools that work for your team. For example, Tangelo integrates with Gong⁠¹², so your team can keep using it to record calls. During your evaluation, confirm what data from those calls Tangelo's Call Intelligence can use for coaching.

In your replacement plan, list the content and programs worth moving, the historical records you need to keep, and the permissions and reports that must carry over. Choose a pilot that tests those requirements, assign owners, and work backward from your renewal date.

During that pilot, ask each vendor to show the ongoing work of running the program, then compare how accurate and complete each platform's results are, and how much of that work stays with your team.

If your courses are SCORM packages, Tangelo can migrate them into its platform. ZoomInfo moved its onboarding and compliance courses for new hires into Tangelo in a SCORM pilot⁠⁷.

Frequently asked questions

Is Highspot part of Seismic now?

Yes. Seismic completed its merger with Highspot on 8/18/2026⁠¹⁹, so one company now sells both platforms. Highspot is sold as Highspot by Seismic, and Highspot tells existing customers there is “no immediate change to how you use Highspot, including the same login, workflows, and support.”⁠²⁰

Will my Highspot contract change after the merger?

Not the contract you signed: Seismic tells Highspot customers “Your existing Highspot contract and pricing don't change.”⁠²¹ Seismic's promise covers the contract you have now, so get the renewal price and terms in writing before you sign.

Highspot says “There are no migration plans for Highspot by Seismic customers.”⁠²⁰ If staying on Highspot matters to your team, ask Seismic to write that into your renewal contract.

Before you renew, ask Seismic which features in its renewal proposal are available now and which are planned, then compare that proposal with other platforms, such as Tangelo.

How much does Highspot cost?

Highspot doesn't publish prices. Highspot lists three plans, “Equip and engage,” “Train and practice” and “Coach and reinforce,” each with a “Contact sales” button⁠¹.

Tangelo provides “custom quotes rather than a public list price”⁠¹². To get a quote, book a demo.

What are the alternatives to Highspot?

Alternatives to Highspot include Tangelo, one AI enablement platform for programs, practice, content, Call Intelligence and reporting⁠².

Do Tangelo and Highspot connect to our CRM and HR system?

Tangelo and Highspot both connect to your CRM. Highspot's plans include “CRM integration,” Highspot lists “multi-CRM support” among its enterprise capabilities⁠¹, and Highspot's integrations include Salesforce, Microsoft, Google and Slack, among more than 100⁠²².

Tangelo's integrations include Workday, Salesforce, Gong, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar and Slack, as well as learning management systems (LMS) and content management systems (CMS)⁠¹². Tangelo reads your HR system and builds each rep's learning path from the rep's role, region, team and quota, and from what is happening on that rep's calls⁠⁶.

With your CRM connected, Tangelo's AI content search finds answers there, as well as in Google Drive, SharePoint and Confluence⁠².
