Bluedot

Overview

Bluedot combines capture across calls, phone conversations, and in-person meetings with tools for finding and sharing what was said afterward. Its bot-free recording approach is useful when a visible bot participant is unwelcome, while searchable transcripts, summaries, comments, and highlight clips help teams return to specific moments rather than replay whole sessions.

Transcription and summaries support more than 100 languages. The built-in AI chat can answer questions across multiple meetings, making Bluedot more useful for looking for recurring insights than a tool limited to one meeting's notes. It also provides speaker identification and action items.

Key features

• Broad capture coverage: Bluedot names Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, phone calls, and in-person meetings as compatible contexts. Browser extension, desktop, and mobile apps provide several ways to capture, rather than restricting users to one device.
• Review and reuse: Searchable transcripts and summaries, link sharing, comments on key moments, and highlight clips support both personal recall and distributing useful excerpts to colleagues.
• Connected workflows: Integrations include Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Meet, HubSpot, Make, MCP, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Outlook, Salesforce, Slack, webhooks, Zapier, and Zoom. Export options include PDF, TXT, plain text, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Google Drive.
• Security controls: Bluedot states that its controls are SOC 2 Type II audited and that its data processing practices are GDPR-compliant. It says data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256 and TLS and is not used to train AI models. DPAs, standard contractual clauses, SSO, SAML, SCIM, and configurable retention support organizations with governance requirements.

Pricing

Bluedot has a free plan, paid subscriptions, and custom pricing for a flat-rate company option. The free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and allows five meetings over the account's lifetime, not five each month. It includes the Chrome extension, desktop and mobile apps, and Slack, Notion, Zapier, and Make integrations. After reaching the cap, members can still view and share existing recordings or upgrade; it is a small evaluation allowance, not an ongoing free recording tier.

Basic costs 14.00 USD per month billed annually, or 18.00 USD per month on monthly billing. It offers unlimited audio-only meetings and storage, plus webhook access and MCP integration, but each recording can run for no more than one hour. It is the lower-cost fit for teams that do not need video capture and can keep meetings within that duration.

Pro costs 20.00 USD per month billed annually, or 25.00 USD per month on monthly billing. It adds unlimited meetings with video, unlimited recording duration, custom note templates, and Zoom and Google Drive imports to Basic. Choose it when video or longer sessions matter; the higher price buys away Basic's key capture constraints.

Business costs 32.00 USD per month billed annually, or 39.00 USD per month on monthly billing. It adds CRM and ATS integrations, advanced admin controls, SSO and SCIM, custom data retention, organization-wide MCP and webhooks, and unlimited audio/video imports. Those additions make it the relevant tier for organizations needing centralized controls and broader import workflows, rather than a simple upgrade for individual note-taking.

The flat-rate plan has custom pricing and charges one fixed price for a company regardless of how many people use Bluedot. A three-day trial is offered. Canceled subscribers lose recording access, have one month to restore their subscription, and recordings are permanently deleted afterward, so cancellation has a material retention consequence.

Platforms

Bluedot supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and a browser extension. The desktop apps require macOS 12.3 or later on Apple Silicon, or Windows 10 or later; those requirements matter for older or Intel-based Mac fleets.

Who it's for

Bluedot is a strong fit for teams that capture meetings across several settings, work in multiple languages, and need to search or ask questions across a growing archive. Its Business controls may suit organizations with SSO, provisioning, or retention requirements. It is less suitable for someone seeking a durable free tier, or for Basic users who routinely record sessions longer than an hour or need video.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Bot-free capture across online, phone, and in-person conversations avoids making a recording bot a participant.
• Pro: More than 100 languages, cross-meeting AI chat, searchable records, and several export formats support work beyond the live call.
• Pro: Business includes SSO and SCIM, custom retention, and organization-wide integrations for teams with administrative needs.
• Con: Five lifetime free meetings make the free plan a brief trial of ongoing capture, despite continued viewing and sharing afterward.
• Con: Basic is audio-only and caps recordings at one hour, so video users and teams with longer sessions must pay more for Pro.
• Con: Cancellation eventually deletes recordings permanently if the subscription is not restored within one month, making offboarding and retention planning important.

Alternatives

Notta is worth considering for a genuinely recurring free allowance: its free plan gives one seat and 120 transcription minutes per month, while Bluedot's free allowance is five meetings for the account's lifetime.

Grain may suit personal-email users comfortable with bot-recorded meetings; its free plan provides 20 bot-recorded meetings and 45-minute meetings, unlike Bluedot's bot-free capture approach.

Laxis is another freemium option, with a Basic plan offering 300 transcription minutes per month, 30 days of conversation history, and a 45-minute maximum per recording.

MeetGeek has a free-forever Basic plan with three hours of transcription per month and three months of transcript storage, which may fit a light-use budget better than Bluedot's finite free allowance.

Read AI offers five meetings per month and 20+ languages on its always-free plan, a different recurring allowance for readers comparing free options.

Krisp AI Meeting Assistant is a paid product with a seven-day free trial rather than a free plan.

Wudpecker offers a free plan with ten meetings per month using a notetaker bot and three Ask AI questions per recording, which may appeal to users who prioritize a monthly meeting allowance.

Circleback is another freemium meeting-notes option.

Browse meeting transcription software, meeting recording software, or AI meeting assistants to compare more options by category.

Verdict

Choose Bluedot if bot-free capture, multilingual transcripts, and cross-meeting search and chat are central to how your team reviews conversations. Its breadth of capture and administrative controls are compelling, but the free plan is only a short runway, Basic excludes video and limits recording length, and cancellation puts stored recordings at risk; look elsewhere if those constraints outweigh the broader workflow.
