Best for transcription, notes and call scoring on credits
Speak AI transcribes in 100+ languages, takes meeting notes, scores calls and has an API, an MCP server and a command line. There is a 7-day trial and no free plan after it, and Pro covers only up to 5 users.
Who Speak AI is for
- Fits if you transcribe interviews or calls in many languages and want the file library searchable
- Works for developers who want an API or MCP server over their transcripts
Who Speak AI is not for
- Skip it if you want a plan that stays free, as there is only a 7-day trial
- Pricey if you add people: Pro covers up to 5 users, and bigger teams go to custom Enterprise
- Watch out: tone-of-voice and video analysis are listed under Enterprise custom builds
- Watch out: pay as you go is credit-based, so costs depend on use
Why Speak AI gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPro is $20 a user a month on yearly billing, $25 monthly, which is past the $18 that starts the dearer quarter. Pay as you go starts with a $10 top-up.
- CFree plan and trialA 7-day trial with no card, then no free plan.
- BFeaturesTranscription, a meeting notetaker, chat across your library, call scoring, an API and surveys. The gaps named, like tone and video analysis, are custom Enterprise work, not core.

Keep Speak AI, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Speak AI 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.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 60 of the 89 other AI meeting note takers we grade. It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Speak AI’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.
