Competitors
- Otter.ai serves as a comprehensive meeting documentation platform with real-time transcription, team collaboration channels, and mobile capabilities across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. While offering better organizational features and search capabilities, it only supports English, Spanish, and French languages and requires visible bot participation in meetings, which can be intrusive for sensitive discussions.
- Fireflies.ai excels as a conversation intelligence platform with 95% transcription accuracy across 70+ languages, advanced search functionality, and robust integration with 50+ apps including Slack, Notion, and Zapier. The platform provides comprehensive meeting analytics, automatic action item extraction, and speaker analytics, though it suffers from poor visual design and requires bot participation in meetings.
- Fathom AI offers customizable meeting templates, exceptional transcription accuracy with editing capabilities, and powerful search features with free core functionality. It provides feature-rich AI note generation and robust export options to HubSpot, Google Docs, and other CRM systems, but has limited integration capabilities compared to other platforms and lacks mobile recording capabilities.
- Grain specializes in video-first meeting insights with real-time recording, advanced clip creation tools for highlighting key moments, and searchable archives for quick access to meeting insights. It integrates seamlessly with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack while offering collaboration features for sharing annotated meeting clips, though it’s primarily focused on video content rather than pure transcription services.
- Metaview caters specifically to recruiting and hiring processes with AI-generated interview notes, customizable templates for different roles, and native integrations with applicant tracking systems. The platform provides structured summaries, one-click scorecard completion, and specialized features for intake meetings and candidate debriefs, but serves a narrow niche compared to general meeting transcription tools.
