Cons
  • Fewer integrations than major incumbents
  • No dedicated mobile app noted
  • Limited Ask AI questions on free tier
  • Smaller ecosystem and track record
  • No self-hosting option
  • The free plan's 300-minute cap and 3-import limit are consumed quickly by anyone with a regular meeting load, pushing most serious users toward paid tiers
  • Transcription accuracy degrades with heavy accents, crosstalk, technical jargon, and poor audio quality, so summaries often need human review before sharing
  • Advanced CRM integrations
  • API access, and admin controls are gated behind higher Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers, so per-seat costs add up for teams
  • Auto-joining bots recording meetings raises consent and privacy considerations that require clear internal policies before broad rollout
