| 3.4GPASummary AIVery good | 2.8GPAVOMOGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$79.99 a year is cheap for unlimited transcription, at under $7 a month. But there's no monthly plan, and paying $8.99 a week adds up to several times that over a year. The US App Store shows other price points too, like $17.99 and $29.99 a month, so the offer in the app may differ. | BPro on the yearly plan is $99.99, shown as $1.92 a week, which works out near $8.33 a month for unlimited transcription. Ordinary money for this category. The shorter plans are another story: the US App Store lists $7.99 weekly and $19.99 monthly. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. You get 1 free recording, with no credit card needed, and after that new summaries need a subscription. The ones you've already made stay viewable. | CNo free plan to stay on. You get 60 transcription minutes once, at signup, with no credit card needed, and uploads are capped at 30 minutes a file. After that it's Pro. |
| Features | AOne-tap recording that keeps going with the screen locked, transcripts with speaker labels in more than 120 languages, and summaries laid out as minutes with decisions and action items. A meeting assistant joins Zoom, Meet and Teams calls, and you can ask the AI about any recording. | BSpeaker labels and timestamps, Smart Notes with chapters and action items that name an owner, templates for stand-ups and sales calls, and a chat that answers from the transcript. But no meeting bot or video-call hook-up is described: you record in VOMO, upload a file or paste a link. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 from about 53,000 App Store ratings. Recording starts with a single tap, and the summary gets written for you. | B4.5 from about 390 App Store ratings, a shade under where our A starts. Record, upload or paste a link and the note gets written for you. |
| Platforms and integrations | AiPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and the web. It syncs with Google or Outlook Calendar and joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls. Subscriptions are only sold through the App Store or Google Play, though. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with a Mac app listed as coming soon and no Windows app mentioned. Its hooks are YouTube links and a command-line tool that brings notes into Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. Nothing links it to your video calls. |

Worth knowing
Summary AI
- There is no ongoing free plan: after 1 free recording, new summaries need a subscription. Existing summaries stay viewable.
- Subscriptions are sold only through the App Store or Google Play, and the pricing page lists no monthly plan.
- Paying $8.99 every week adds up to several times the $79.99 yearly plan over a full year.
- The US App Store listing shows other in-app price points too, including $17.99 and $29.99 monthly, so the in-app offer may differ.
VOMO
- The free allowance is a one-time 60 minutes at signup, with uploads limited to 30 minutes per file.
- The pricing page shows Pro only as a per-week figure; the weekly, monthly and yearly amounts were read from the US App Store listing.
- No meeting bot or video-call integration is described: you record in VOMO, upload a file or paste a link.
- Apps are offered for web, iOS and Android; the Mac app is listed as coming soon and no Windows app is mentioned.
