Gong Growth Accelerates Past 55% YoY as Enterprises Adopt Revenue AI; ARR Tops $500M

Tenth consecutive quarter of accelerating growth as customers standardize on Gong's Revenue AI Operating System SAN FRANCISCO — May 12, 2026 — Gong, the leader in Revenue AI, today announced continued growth acceleration to over 55% year-over-year in its most recent quarter, marking the tenth straight quarter of accelerating growth rate. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) has now surpassed $500 million. It signals a category shift: enterprises are rebuilding their revenue stack around AI, with Gong as the standard. Three forces are driving Gong’s acceleration: AI mandate from the top. Boards are demanding sales productivity gains from AI. Gong is the #1 AI platform revenue teams are choosing. Tech stack consolidation. Companies are consolidating fragmented sales tech onto a single revenue platform, replacing a generation of legacy point solutions. Gong's AI products Engage, Forecast, and Enable are driving the expansion. Large enterprise. The world's largest companies are deploying Gong for production-grade AI rollouts, not pilots. Gong added more $1M+ customers in the last two quarters than in the previous six combined. Revenue has been broken in plain sight. Sellers spend 77% of their time on non-selling activities. A multi-trillion dollar industry runs 70 to 80% inefficient. The root cause is structural: legacy CRM depends on humans to log what happened, and it's hard to use. So in turn, go-to-market teams don't use it. Bad data in, no real insight out, and no automation is possible. Three of every four dollars get wasted on motion that doesn't convert. Gong is replacing that premise. The Gong Revenue Graph turns customer interactions across emails, calls, meetings, and deals into a living memory layer - one that makes real intelligence and automation possible for the first time. Gong's proprietary AI models, trained on revenue-specific data and combined with leading LLMs, convert that layer into decisions: which deals to chase, where the team is at risk, what to do next. Revenue professionals stop updating systems. The system runs the work. Today, 50% of Gong's customers now run multiple products on the platform, and use of flagship AI capabilities like Gong Assistant grew over 200% year over year. "We launched Gong a decade ago with a bet: AI would be bigger than cloud," said Amit Bendov, CEO and Co-Founder of Gong. "The market wasn't ready, so we toned the message down for years. The last three years have been the unlock. Every company is now investing in AI as a strategic priority, and the vision we had a decade ago is the reality driving this acceleration." Enterprise adoption of Gong has grown significantly year-over-year, with half of the Fortune 10 among Gong's customer base. Organizations such as ADP, Anthropic, Canva, Cisco, Docusign, Google, Paycor, Uber for Business, and Thomson Reuters are seeing immediate, measurable outcomes, including: Anthropic increased seller productivity 64%, giving AEs back 10 hours a week Uber for Business used Gong's agents to lift response rates 32% Canva saw a 60% lift in rep capacity Paycor achieved a 141% increase in deal wins “Scaling a B2B business in fintech requires strong visibility into your pipeline and how deals are actually progressing since the sales cycle is longer, more regulated, more risk-heavy, and more multithreaded than in other industries,” said Jason Steckler, Head of Revenue Strategy and Operations at Chime. “We saw immediate impact after implementing Gong, with strong productivity gains across our sales team and a much clearer view of what’s happening across our deals. We now have the insights to be more proactive in our go-to-market strategy and execute more effectively as we grow, and we’re excited to continue scaling our business with Gong as a key part of that growth.” "Recently surpassing $500M in ARR is a testament to how Gong has uniquely combined proprietary data with deep, real-world context on how GTM decisions are actually made,” said Dharmesh Thakker, General Partner at Battery Ventures. “By mastering the intersection of domain expertise and AI model optimization, they deliver the high-impact insights and orchestration necessary for revenue teams to operate at scale. Gong's advantage isn't just the AI, but the data and real-world context underneath it." Gong was recently named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Revenue Action Orchestration and recognized by Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2026 in Applied AI. About Gong Gong harnesses the power of AI to transform how revenue teams win. The Gong Revenue AI Operating System unifies data, insights, and workflows into a single, trusted system that observes, guides, and acts alongside the world’s most successful revenue teams. Powered by the Gong Revenue Graph, specialized agents, and trusted applications, Gong helps more than 5,000 companies around the world deeply understand their teams and customers, automate critical revenue workflows, and close more deals with less effort.

Unlocking the “Trust Barrier” for Enterprise AI: New Gong Research Reveals Transparency as the Key to Competitive Advantage

The "AI Trust Barrier" is real – and it’s costing companies their competitive edge Data and security concerns are the top factors eroding trust (34%), followed by a lack of explainability (30%) and AI model transparency (28%) The ability to articulate AI outputs and data guardrails has emerged as a non-negotiable requirement for solution providers Nearly half (46%) of planned AI investments are currently stalled due to trust concerns—providing a clear blueprint for how vendors must evolve to win SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON – April 15, 2026: Gong, the leading revenue AI company, today released new research revealing an AI trust barrier that stands between companies innovating with AI and those stuck in exploration and confusion. The study, which was supplemented by findings from Gong Labs, showed that 58% of companies (US: 63% | UK: 52%) had stalled AI projects. Here’s why: it’s not a lack of budget – it’s a deficit in trust. The research explored how concerns about data privacy, security, and transparency lead to a lag in adoption. Gong understands how to help revenue leaders get the assurance they need to drive AI adoption success. Gong Labs data, based on aggregated and de-identified signals derived from over 25 million sales interactions processed within Gong’s platform, found that one in four calls referenced security, with uncertainty over AI's foundational data and learning mechanisms the most commonly discussed topics. A study of over 2,000 US and UK leaders reveals that transparency in how AI generates outputs is essential for them to trust, invest in, and deploy AI tools. As it stands, 75% (US: 80% | UK: 70%) of leaders feel their organizations are falling behind when it comes to realizing AI’s most powerful benefits, giving solution providers an opportunity to allay concerns and drive their success. "Security and AI trust are no longer back-office conversations; they are revenue conversations,” said Chris Peake, Chief Trust Officer, Gong. “Gong’s research found that trust can be a performance multiplier when applied as part of an AI strategy. The competitive advantage delivered by AI is no longer up for debate, but the trust barrier remains for those using tools that have yet to establish this trust. By embedding enterprise-grade governance directly into the Revenue AI OS, we’re helping the world’s most successful teams bypass the doubt and move straight to acceleration.” Trust barriers preventing adoption of unproven AI tools identified The survey uncovered several barriers preventing companies from adopting AI solutions from providers that had failed to allay their concerns: With more than half of companies having delayed or cancelled their plans to adopt an AI tool, the data suggests that organizations are under-utilizing powerful AI capabilities and leading these companies to miss out on transformational gains. What’s more, this same lingering uncertainty had meant 46% (US: 44% | UK: 47%) of their planned AI investments had been paused, on average. Barriers can be overcome through enterprise-grade guardrails and transparency standards The top assurances leaders said would help them confidently adopt AI solutions were: With the right guardrails, trust can be an enabler of a successful AI strategy. Gong works with customers to address the trust gap by building enterprise-grade security and data governance within its Revenue AI Operating System, producing explainable and relevant insights using its context-aware AI, grounded in patterns observed across aggregated customer usage, and providing built-in governance and insight. Gong enables custom redaction capabilities, enabling organizations in highly regulated industries to safely leverage AI insights that previously couldn’t be monitored or analyzed due to data privacy risks. To learn more about the report’s findings and how Gong safeguards companies’ data, standardizes AI trust, and embeds assurances directly within the Revenue AI OS, read the blog. Methodology The research was conducted by Censuswide, among a sample of 2,056 business leaders at medium and large businesses across the UK and US. The data was collected between January 6 - 9, 2026. Censuswide abides by and employs members of the Market Research Society and follows the MRS code of conduct and ESOMAR principles. Censuswide is also a member of the British Polling Council. Additional research was conducted by the Gong Labs research team by analyzing aggregated, de-identified metadata and topic-level signals derived from sales interactions with Gong from January 1 - December 31, 2025. Gong Labs research does not involve reviewing or exposing individual customer conversations and is designed to reflect broad, industry-level trends. About Gong: Gong harnesses the power of AI to transform how revenue teams win. The Gong Revenue AI Operating System unifies data, insights, and workflows into a single, trusted system that observes, guides, and acts alongside the world’s most successful revenue teams.
