Best for searching your videos, audio and meetings by what was said
Clipto transcribes video and audio and lets you search the library by what was said or shown, with meeting notes as one feature. There's no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and the monthly price is $24.99 after a first month at $9.99.
Who Clipto is for
- Fits if you keep lots of video and audio and want to search inside it
- Works for editors who use Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
Who Clipto is not for
- Skip it if you want to stay free, as there's only a 7-day trial
- Pricey if you pay monthly: $24.99 after the $9.99 first month, and the renewal isn't stated apart from that
- Watch out: the Windows app is beta and lists 16 GB of RAM and 8 GB of VRAM
- Not for you if you want a call-joining notetaker, as meetings are one feature of a media library

Keep Clipto, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Clipto you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 40 of the 68 other AI meeting note takers grade higher. It costs $149.88 a year.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- A video editor.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Clipto’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
