COMPARISON

Rippit vs. Attention for Conversation Analysis and Agents (2026): Differences, Pricing, and When to Use Both

Short answer: Attention records sales calls, then gives revenue teams tools to analyze those recordings and launch AI agents based on what they learn, from CRM updates to follow-ups and scorecards.[1][2]

Rippit is built for one job: analyzing and acting on every customer conversation at scale.[3] It reads every conversation customers have with your company, across sales, support, success and chatbots, turns what it finds into structured data,[4] and runs AI agents that monitor, analyze and act on that data.[3] Any team can define a new field in plain English, combine it with others and keep drilling until it reaches the root cause.[5]

Many teams use both: they keep Attention for sales execution and add Rippit to ask questions across the whole customer journey.[6] Rippit has a free plan.[7] Attention doesn't publish prices on its site.

Where Attention and Rippit overlap is in conversation analytics - Rippit is better suited to sit across multiple data sources when you have conversation data that also lives outside of Attention.

01 · THE DIFFERENCE

What's the difference between Rippit and Attention?

Attention helps revenue teams analyze their sales calls and launch agents based on what they learn. Rippit helps CX, support, product and CS teams understand every conversation a customer has with the company, before and after the sale.

Attention describes its product as "AI agents that learn from your best sales conversations."[1] It records calls with a notetaker bot or its desktop app,[8] updates CRM fields from each transcript,[10] and runs AI scorecards, forecasting and follow-up automation on top.[1]

Rippit is AI conversation analytics and agents, built for scale.[3] It connects to your helpdesk and conversation tools, analyzes every conversation,[3] and turns what it finds (intent, root cause, sentiment, churn signal, resolution) into fields you can filter, trend and build on.[5] Agents then monitor those fields, analyze them and act on what they find.[3]

Take a customer who hears in a sales call that migration takes a week. Attention records the promise and logs it to the deal. Three months later, that customer filed four tickets about a stalled migration. With sales calls and support tickets in one place, Rippit counts how often a sales promise turns into support friction, which promise causes it, and whether it's getting worse.

02 · SCALE

How does Rippit analyze every conversation?

Rippit runs an AI engine built to label conversations in bulk: AI enriches every conversation[3] and stores the results as structured, queryable data,[4] so analysis and agents can work across all of it. Rippit says it can analyze 10,000 conversations in one minute for under $1.[3] Questions then run on those stored fields across the full dataset, instead of rereading transcripts each time. For open-ended questions no existing field answers, Rippit also runs ad hoc deep dives[4] on up to 10,000 conversations at a time, and what they find can feed new analysis and agents.

That changes three things:

10,000 conversations in one minute for under $1.
Counts are complete
"What share of renewal calls mentioned a competitor, and did those accounts file more support tickets afterward?" is computed across every call and ticket in scope.[7]
New questions reach the past
Describe a new field in plain English, and Rippit applies it to past conversations in a single run.[5]
Every number is checkable
Each result is a field on a specific conversation, so you can open the conversations behind any count.[4]
03 · USE BOTH

Can you use Rippit and Attention together?

Yes. Attention can sync call recordings and transcripts into Snowflake,[12] and Rippit ingests data from Snowflake,[13] so sales calls can sit next to the support tickets and chats Rippit connects to directly.[9] You keep Attention for CRM updates, scorecards and follow-ups, and use Rippit to ask questions that span the whole customer journey. Rippit does the mass-scale enrichment, analyzing every conversation in scope[3] and storing each judgment as a field on that conversation,[5] and runs ad hoc deep dives on up to 10,000 conversations at a time for questions no existing field answers yet.[4] A direct integration to Attention is planned too.

In Rippit's review of 2,345 of its own sales conversations from 2025–2026, prospects whose sales teams used Attention wanted to analyze those calls alongside emails, chats and support tickets in one place, across sales, support and retention.[6]

Using both fixes two common gaps:

  • Sales and support conversations live in different tools. Attention holds what was said before the sale, and your helpdesk holds what happened after. Rippit brings the ticket and chat history into the same analysis as the calls.[9]
  • Churn signals show up after the handoff. Checkr combined Rippit with Snowflake operational data to find churn signals.[14] Brex feeds predicted CSAT and churn signals from Rippit into its customer success workflows.[15]

04 · CUSTOM ANALYSIS

How is Rippit's analysis different from Ask Attention Anything?

Ask Attention Anything answers questions about your deals. It searches past call transcripts, CRM notes and knowledge bases, filters by team, opportunity or conversation labels, and links each answer to the call moment behind it.[2] Through Attention's MCP server, a single request runs analysis across up to 25 calls.[11] Attention's AI also fills mapped CRM fields from each transcript, and new mappings populate on future calls.[10]

Rippit starts from a plain description of the insight you want and adds it as a field across every conversation.[4] One pass tags each conversation across 10+ dimensions, including intent, root cause, sentiment, urgency, churn signal and resolution, and a new category applies to past conversations in a single run.[5] Because each result is stored as a field, you can count it, trend it and filter by it instead of asking again. For cross-journey questions, you define a field like "promise made in sales" or "onboarding friction" once and read it across sales calls, tickets and chats.

This speed pays off with unplanned questions. When Checkr's CEO asked a late-night question about background check issues in a specific state, the team delivered a detailed report by the next morning.[14]

05 · AI ASSISTANTS

Do Rippit and Attention have MCP servers?

Yes. Rippit supports MCP, so AI assistants like Claude can query your conversation data directly.[16] You ask in Claude, and Rippit runs the analysis across your full conversation dataset.[17]

This matters at scale. A general-purpose assistant can only hold a limited amount of text in its context window at one time,[18] so on its own it has to sample, split or summarize large sets of conversations. Rippit runs the analysis across every conversation and gives Claude the results, so every number traces back to specific conversations.

Attention also offers an official MCP server with 68 tools to search calls, analyze deals and configure scorecards, and it runs analysis across up to 25 calls per request.[11] Use Attention's server for deal and call questions, and Rippit's for analysis across every conversation.

06 · PRICING

How much do Rippit and Attention cost?

Rippit publishes its pricing. Paid plans bill AI credits at cost.[7]

RIPPIT
Published plans
  • Free: 100 Agent Runs/month, $100 in AI credits included[7]
  • Starter: $185/month, 300 Agent Runs[7]
  • Growth: $495/month, 1,000 Agent Runs[7]
  • Enterprise: custom pricing, including SSO, advanced integrations and a dedicated AI Agent Specialist[7]
ATTENTION
Not published on its site

Attention doesn't publish prices on its site. It says you can "test Attention, upgrade when it's working."[1]

Because the products do different jobs, compare each against its own use case: Attention against the number of reps it supports, Rippit against the conversation volume you want analyzed.

07 · CUSTOMERS

What do teams use Rippit for?

  • Brex replaced manual QA sampling with AI review of 100% of conversations and found churn risk in 3% of them. It built custom AI classifiers for onboarding friction, product gaps, sentiment and competitors, and feeds predicted CSAT and churn signals into CSM workflows.[15]
  • Checkr broke dissatisfaction down into specific "atomic problems" and combined Rippit with Snowflake operational data to find churn signals. Checkr says its time from insight to action went "from weeks to hours."[14]
  • Klaviyo went from reviewing fewer than 2% of its 600,000+ annual support incidents to analyzing 2.5 million conversations that had never been looked at. It analyzed a full month of product-launch conversations in two hours and uses Rippit for churn pattern analysis and chatbot performance monitoring.[19]

When should you choose Attention, Rippit, or both?

Attention

Rippit

CHOOSE
Both

Your sales team runs on Attention and you want to know what happens after the sale: whether sales promises show up as support friction, which accounts show churn signals, and why.
