How we grade them
| 2.4GPAClaapFair | 2.4GPAtl;dvFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $32 a licence a month billed yearly, $40 monthly, well past where this category's dearest tenth starts. And the bits in its own tagline, CRM auto-complete and coaching, need Business at $60, booked through a sales demo. People who only watch get free Basic seats, which helps a bit. | DPro is $18 a seat a month on the yearly plan and $29 if you pay monthly, when meeting notes here typically start near $10. And the parts people buy it for — unlimited Ask AI across meetings, playbooks, coaching and scheduled reports — are Business at $29 a seat. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is free, but it's a taster: 10 recordings per user and 300 minutes in total, not per month, kept for 3 months. That's five hour-long calls and you're through it. | CRecordings and transcripts are unlimited, which is generous. But AI notes stop at 10 meetings a month, you get 10 Ask AI questions and 5 uploads, and your data is kept for up to 3 months, so these are caps you'll run into. |
| Features | BIt covers the job: Zoom, Meet and Teams recorded with or without a bot, meetings in the room on your phone even when it's locked or offline, summaries, transcripts in 99+ languages, and on Business CRM fields filled in and reps scored. There's an MCP server for Claude too. | BIt covers the job: a visible notetaker on Zoom, Meet and Teams or bot-free recording through the Mac and Windows app, transcripts in 30+ languages with speakers recognised, AI notes, questions answered from the transcript, and clips of any moment to share. Templates, CRM sync and coaching sit behind Pro or Business. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and there's setting up to do: sync a calendar so recording starts by itself, pick bot or no bot, and on Business map your CRM fields and write the coaching framework. Business itself starts with a sales demo. | CNo store rating on record, and the notetaker doesn't turn up by itself: you connect your calendar and meeting accounts first, install the desktop app if you'd rather record with no bot, and build templates and CRM mappings on the paid plans. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, a Mac recorder, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, hooked into Zoom, Meet, Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion and Claude. Windows people get the extension or the bot rather than a desktop app, and the API is Enterprise only. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with Slack, HubSpot, Notion and Zapier, plus an API and webhooks on Pro. Two catches: the extension covers Google Meet only, and phone recordings stop at 3 hours each. |
| Best for | sales teams that want call notes in the CRM | free recordings and transcripts of video calls |
