You get a recording, transcript, summary and action items from each call without taking notes. Five verified tools compared on price, free plan, platform support and caps.
AI meeting note takers join or capture your calls, then write a transcript, a summary and action items. Fireflies.ai, tl;dv, Fathom and MeetGeek cover Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and all four have a free plan. Sembly is different: its card describes a workspace for client-facing documents in professional services. Most free plans cap AI features, and paid plans are per seat. Capture also differs: some tools send a bot into the call, and some record without a bot on certain devices. Recording laws and company policy require consent, so tell participants before you record. Use the table to compare entry price, free limits and caps.
