Bluedot vs Tactiq

Bluedot

• People who do not want a bot joining their calls
• Recruiters and sales teams that sync notes to an ATS or CRM
• Recording in-person meetings from a phone or Apple Watch
• Workspaces where only some members record, since only they are billed

Tactiq

• People who do not want a notetaker bot joining their calls
• Following a live transcript during a meeting, not only afterward
• Teams that prefer transcripts kept as text with no audio or video stored

Bluedot

• The Free plan covers 5 meetings in total, not per month. Bluedot itself describes it as a lifetime trial.
• Basic records audio only and limits each recording to 1 hour. Video and unlimited duration need Pro.
• CRM and ATS integrations, SSO and SCIM need Business at $32 per user a month on annual billing.
• After a cancellation, recordings are inaccessible and are permanently deleted if the subscription is not restored within a month.

Tactiq

• The Free plan is limited to 10 transcripts and 5 AI credits a month.
• Pro lifts the transcript cap but includes only 10 AI credits a month. Unlimited AI credits start on the Team plan.
• There is no audio or video recording to play back, since Tactiq saves the transcript as text only.
• The download page lists a Chrome extension and a beta Mac app limited to Zoom desktop calls; no Windows or mobile app is listed.

Bluedot

Recording without a bot

The Chrome extension or desktop app captures audio and video on your own device, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex and Slack huddles without a bot or calendar access.

Notes from templates

Summaries follow templates for different kinds of meeting, such as sales calls and customer check-ins, in over 100 languages. Custom note templates need the Pro plan.

AI chat across meetings

A built-in chat answers questions and pulls up information from one meeting or from several at once.

In-person recording

The iOS and Android apps and an Apple Watch app record and transcribe face-to-face meetings, interviews and phone calls.

Sync to other tools

Notes go to Slack, Notion, Zapier and Make on every plan. Webhooks and MCP start on Basic, and CRM and ATS integrations such as HubSpot and Salesforce need Business.

Sharing, comments and clips

Share a recording by link, comment on specific moments and clip highlights. Existing audio and video files can be uploaded for transcription.

Tactiq

Live transcription without a bot

The extension transcribes Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams in the browser as people speak, with speaker identification and support for more than 60 languages.

Text-only capture

Tactiq states that it does not record or store meeting audio. The transcript is produced in real time and saved as text, and it is shown only to the person running Tactiq.

AI summaries and action items

One AI credit covers a single AI action, such as a summary, a list of action items or one question. Free includes 5 credits a month, Pro 10, and Team and above are unlimited.

In-meeting AI and saved prompts

Ask the AI questions while the meeting is still running, and save custom questions as reusable prompts for later meetings.

Workflows

A workflow builder triggers steps automatically after a meeting and can post results to Slack, Notion, Linear, HubSpot and other tools. Workflows can be shared with a team.

Mac app (beta)

A native macOS app transcribes calls made in the Zoom desktop app. Tactiq's download page says other platforms are not supported in it yet.
