Trumpet, Dock, or Distribute (Dante)?
Trumpet builds designed Pods. Dock runs a workspace from deal to onboarding. Dante builds the buyer page from your call and runs from a text. Here is how they compare on price, setup, and who each one fits, with pros and cons for all three.

I make Dante, so here is where the other two win
Trumpet is the better pick if you want designed, widget-heavy rooms and deep analytics. Dock is the better pick if you want one workspace that carries from the deal into onboarding and customer success, and its free plan is generous. Dante is the better pick if you want the buyer page to appear after the call with nothing to build. All pricing here comes from public pages, not a hands-on test.
Pricing, side by side
Trumpet: free for 10 Pods, then $45, $100, or $160 per user per month. Dock: free for 10 workspaces, Standard $350/mo for 5 users, Premium $1,000/mo billed annually for 10 users, extra seats $50/mo. Dante: Pro $99/mo for one seller and Team $799/mo for up to 10 sellers, with a 14-day free trial of Pro (card required). Per-seat tools cost less for one person and more as the team grows. Dock's price is per plan, not per seat, until you add users.
Trumpet: pros and cons
Pros: polished Pods with widgets and templates, a free plan with unlimited users, live collaboration, e-signature and surveys listed, 40+ integrations. Cons: per-user pricing climbs on upper tiers, more to configure per room, and call data arrives through integrations such as Gong rather than native recording.
Dante vs TrumpetDock: pros and cons
Pros: workspaces from deal room through onboarding, playbooks and courses, order forms, MCP on every plan, and customers and prospects never pay for a seat. Cons: Standard starts at $350/mo, Salesforce and HubSpot are not on the free plan, and you build and maintain each workspace yourself.
Dante vs DockDante: pros and cons
Pros: the buyer page is built from the call, call recording with no bot, call coaching, Loom-style video, Storylane-style interactive demos, a DocSend-style content library, an iMessage texting agent, and a strong MCP. Cons: no permanent free plan, no LMS or enterprise content governance, and less value if your team does not want to work through iMessage or an AI assistant.
Message DanteWho should pick which
Pick Trumpet if design and analytics drive your deals. Pick Dock if sales and customer success share one workspace. Pick Dante if you are a founder or a team of up to 10 sellers who wants the follow-up done after every call. If you have an enablement team and a larger budget, also look at the platforms in the best digital sales room software list.
Best digital sales room softwareEase of use
Trumpet and Dock are web apps you configure. Dante is designed so you do not learn another dashboard: text it on iMessage, or ask it in Claude through MCP. Dock lists MCP on every plan and Trumpet lists an MCP client on higher tiers, so all three can work with AI assistants. The difference is what happens after the call: Dante starts the buyer page for you.
