It costs $108 a year. - You could not: A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. - You could not: A video editor. - You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Slack and Jira among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
