Roonly and ColdOpen both serve D2D and field teams, and as of July 2026 both offer real voice practice. So the question is not who has roleplay. It is what that roleplay sits on top of.
Roonly's foundation is all-day recording, and its coaching and lessons are generated from the calls your reps capture. That means customers get recorded, you own a consent programme in every state you sell in, and you pay per user: $150 a month in pilot, around $330 after. ColdOpen ships field-tested buyers, objections and rubrics for storm, solar, pest and leasing, so a rep is practicing three minutes after signing up, nobody is recorded, and you pay for pooled minutes rather than per head.

The bottom line
Roonly's practice has come a long way, but you are buying a recording programme to get to it, and paying per user for the privilege. ColdOpen gives you the practice on its own, on pooled pricing, with nothing captured at the door.

Yes, and it is a real one. Roonly's site describes roleplay on your own scenarios with sub-two-second responses, emotion that shifts mid-conversation, and a Try Again replay of an exact moment. The honest difference is not quality, it is that Roonly is recording-first, so customers get recorded, while ColdOpen records nobody and ships vertical objection libraries that work on day one.
Roonly lists $150 per user per month for its pilot and around $330 per user per month afterwards, in the $4,000 a year range, with no setup fee, per Roonly's site in July 2026. ColdOpen bills pooled team minutes month to month and starts free.
As of July 2026, Roonly is iOS with Android in early access by invitation, per their site. ColdOpen runs in any phone or laptop browser with no install and nothing to approve.
Yes. All-day recording with GPS analytics is central to Roonly. ColdOpen captures nothing at the door.
