Cue vs Voicenotes

Cue

• In-person meetings, lectures and appointments recorded on a phone
• Client calls where a visible meeting bot would be unwelcome
• Small teams of 5 to 50 people sharing transcripts and action items

Voicenotes

• People who want one app for meetings, voice memos and dictation
• Meetings where a visible recording bot is not acceptable
• Capturing notes from a phone or smartwatch as well as a computer

Cue

• The site has no pricing page for individuals: subscriptions are bought in the apps, and the US App Store lists several weekly, monthly and yearly amounts.
• The Teams plan needs at least 2 seats and is billed annually only.
• The terms of use grant 44pixels a licence to use recorded content to develop its products, including training its transcription and other AI models.
• The FAQ describes recording through the device microphone, and the site lists no connections to video-meeting, CRM or task apps.

Voicenotes

• The free Basic plan transcribes 100 minutes a week and shows only the last 30 days of notes. Older notes are stored but hidden until you upgrade.
• The pricing page gives $9 per user a month without a billing basis. The US App Store lists in-app subscriptions at $14.99 a month and up to $99.99 a year.
• Dictation, audio imports, real-time notes, the MCP server and advanced integrations need Pro.
• SSO, SCIM and consent management are Enterprise features at $24 per user a month. The Windows desktop app is labeled a beta.

Cue

On-device recording, no bot

Cue records from the device you are using, so nothing joins the call as a participant. The FAQ lists in-person meetings, Zoom and Teams calls, phone conversations, lectures and interviews.

Summaries and action items

When a recording ends, Cue writes a summary with key points, tasks and next steps alongside the transcript. Summaries can be edited or rewritten for a different audience.

Search and questions

Past transcripts, summaries and action items are searchable by keyword, and an assistant answers questions such as which deadlines were agreed in a given meeting.

Multilingual transcription

Transcription and summaries support multiple languages, and the two can differ: the App Store listing gives Spanish transcripts with English summaries as an example.

Calendar reminders

Connecting a Google, iCloud or Microsoft calendar sends a reminder before each event so that recording starts on time.

Export and sharing

Transcripts and summaries can be exported as PDFs, emails or links. The Teams plan shares transcripts and action items across the team.

Voicenotes

Bot-free meeting recording

Hit record in the app when a meeting starts and nothing joins the call. It works with any meeting app and with in-person conversations, and you can jot comments on the note as you go.

Summaries and next steps

When the meeting ends you get a summary, action items and next steps alongside the recording and transcript, ready to share as a link or export as a PDF.

Ask AI across your notes

Ask a question and get an answer drawn from every conversation and memo you have recorded, or turn a meeting into a follow-up email, report or to-do list.

Voice memos and dictation

The same app captures spoken memos, and dictation types with your voice in other apps on desktop and mobile. Dictation is a Pro feature with a one-time free allowance on Basic.

Language detection

Transcribes English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and more than 60 other languages, detects the language automatically and handles switching mid-sentence.

Integrations and MCP

Integrations include Zapier, Notion, Obsidian, Todoist and Readwise, plus webhooks, and an MCP server connects notes to Claude and ChatGPT. Advanced integrations and the MCP server need Pro.
