Real-time conversation coach for cold-call dialers.
Best for outbound SDRs who want live in-call coaching with objection prompts and talk-time analytics on parallel dialers. Pricing: free / from $39.99/user/mo.
What it is
Trellus is a real-time AI sales coach that runs in the browser alongside parallel-dialer tools like Orum, Nooks, and FrontSpin. As an SDR speaks with a prospect, Trellus transcribes live, displays objection-handling prompts, tracks talk ratio, and after the call produces a transcript and a structured note. The product is purpose-built for high-volume outbound — a market segment that the heavier Gong-class platforms underserve. Trellus raised a seed round in 2023 and is used inside many outbound-heavy SaaS sales teams.
Watch out for: Built for high-volume cold calling; less useful for relationship/demo calls; English-first.

Can I automate Trellus-style transcription without running it myself?
Yes. If what you want is transcripts rather than the tool itself, Whipscribe does the same job as a hosted API: submit a file or URL, poll a job id, pull the result as txt, json, srt, vtt or docx. $0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.
How is Whipscribe different from Trellus?
Trellus is another vendor's product; Whipscribe is a per-minute transcription service. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and every job returns five formats plus an AI summary, quotes and topics. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export.
What does transcription cost if I use Whipscribe instead of Trellus?
$0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum: a 3-hour recording is about $2.16, a thousand-hour archive is about $720 once. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export, so you can see what your recording holds before paying anything.
Where is the Trellus category heading?
Three things are moving across the whole speech-to-text market right now: summaries, action items and speaker insights generated on top of the transcript rather than sold separately; private, secured deployment where the audio never leaves a boundary you control; and agent access — transcription exposed as a tool that Claude, Cursor or a workflow runner can call directly. Whipscribe ships all three today: per-job insights, our own servers, and an MCP server.
Whipscribe is a hosted transcription service. If you want transcripts without running infrastructure, paste a URL or drop a file in the form below — you'll have a transcript in seconds.
