Meetily vs Quill Meetings

Meetily

• People whose meetings cannot be sent to a cloud notetaker
• Developers who want MIT-licensed code and local models
• Teams that do not allow recording bots in their calls

Quill Meetings

• Professionals whose conversations cannot be sent to a cloud notetaker
• People who want free, unlimited local transcription
• Teams that want to choose which AI model reads their transcripts

Meetily

• Desktop only: Windows 10 or later and Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 11 or later. Intel Macs are not supported, and on Linux it must be built from source.
• Speaker identification, custom templates, PDF and DOCX export, Windows GPU acceleration and the MCP server, CLI and webhooks all need Pro.
• Each Pro license covers one device for one year, and the pricing page lists Pro with yearly billing only.
• There are no built-in connectors for apps such as Notion or Jira, and chat with your meetings and calendar integration are marked as coming soon.

Quill Meetings

• Without Pro, Quill does not auto-generate AI notes, and encrypted sync and backup and the mobile app are unavailable.
• Lite includes 16 hours of pro meetings a month. Unlimited hours need the Unlimited or Teams plan, and Teams has a 5-seat minimum.
• The iPhone and Android apps are companions that need a paid plan and the desktop app. There is no iPad app and no recording from a browser.
• The Mac app needs Apple Silicon and macOS 12 or later, and cloud sync covers transcripts and notes but not audio recordings.

Meetily

Bot-free recording

Captures system audio on the computer instead of sending a bot into the call, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Slack Huddles and Webex.

On-device transcription

Whisper and Parakeet models transcribe in real time on your machine, and audio is not uploaded. Pro adds GPU acceleration on Windows with an NVIDIA card.

Summaries from the AI you choose

Summaries run on a local Ollama model or on your own key for Claude, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. With your own key, only transcript text is sent.

Speaker identification

A Pro feature that labels who said what, live and on imported audio. Renaming a speaker once updates the whole transcript, and duplicate speakers can be merged.

Templates and exports

Pro includes 6 built-in summary templates plus your own, and exports transcripts and summaries to PDF, DOCX and Markdown. Community uses the default template.

MCP server, CLI and webhooks

Pro ships an MCP server, a command-line tool, a local API and signed webhooks, so assistants such as Claude or Cursor and your own scripts can search and export meetings. Off by default.

Quill Meetings

Bot-free local recording

Captures your microphone and the computer's audio, so it works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, Webex, FaceTime and in-person meetings. It records audio only, not video.

On-device transcription

Transcribes 29 languages with auto-detection on your computer and identifies speakers, learning who is who across meetings. Recording and transcription work without internet.

Live Minutes and AI notes

Pro builds minutes while the meeting is under way, then lists decisions, action items, owners and follow-up drafts. Templates can be set per meeting type.

Your choice of LLM

Notes can run on Anthropic, OpenAI or Google models, AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, or local models through Ollama or LM Studio. Pro also includes a quota on Quill's hosted model.

AI chat and MCP server

Ask questions across past conversations in the app, or connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients to a server that runs locally.

Automations and integrations

After a meeting Quill can create notes, draft an email or send notes to Slack, Notion, a CRM or a folder. To-dos sent to Todoist become separate tasks.
