Dock is the enablement suite. Dante is the workspace you text.
Dock is a real deal workspace and a real lifecycle product. Deal room to onboarding to CS portal. Dante is the $99 product with a texting agent, better MCP, demos and video in the workspace, call recording with no bot, and a lot less software to learn. Easier and cheaper than Dock Standard at $350/mo for 5 seats.
Text DanteDante is $99. Text him. He builds the workspace.
Where Dock is the right call
If you need a workspace that turns into onboarding and a CS portal, Dock is built for that. Enablement teams that want Salesforce governance and MAP depth the committee lives in are not crazy to pick Dock. Dante is not a Highspot killer and not a CS onboarding portal. Dante is the $99 deal workspace you text after the call. Different job. Not a clone.
Dock pricing vs Dante pricing (checked October 2026)
Dock's public pricing: Free at $0 (10 workspaces, no paid seats), Standard at $350/mo with 5 users included, Premium at $1,000/mo billed annually with 10 users, and custom Enterprise. Additional seats are $50/mo on Standard and Premium. Dock lists MCP on every plan and integrates call recorders like Gong, Chorus, and Fathom. Dante is $99/mo and records the call itself with no bot in the room.
Dante is $99/mo1. Texting agent (iMessage)
Dante lives in Messages. Briefs before the call. Follow-up after. He pings you when a deal goes quiet. Dock is a workspace you log into. That is a real difference in how you run the day.
2. Better MCP
Dock ships MCP on all plans. Dante is built so agents read the workspace, not a page you paste into ChatGPT. Better MCP is the wedge. Not that Dock skipped it.
3. Interactive demos in the workspace
The demo sits next to the recap and the price. Sales teams do not need a second demo product to show the thing they just pitched. Product-marketing demo teams may still want Walnut or Navattic. That is a different buyer.
Interactive demos4. Video
Dock added in-workspace video. Dante records the walkthrough in the same place the buyer already is. No extra Loom tab that falls off the thread.
5. Call recording. No bot in the room.
Dante records without a participant bot joining the Zoom. You still disclose. The recording becomes the workspace. Dock still outsources recording to Gong, even after in-workspace video.
No-bot call recording6. Way easier. $99.
Dock has a lot of surface area because the suite is the product. Dante is text-first. Message him. The workspace builds from the call. Standard Dock is $350/mo for 5 seats. Premium is $1,000/mo billed annually. Dante is $99.
