Alternatives to Krisp AI Meeting Assistant

{"intro": "Krisp AI Meeting Assistant combines transcription, AI summaries, action-item tracking, speaker labels, recording, and a searchable archive. It works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, and other conferencing apps, with Windows and macOS desktop apps, iOS and Android apps, and a browser extension. Real-time transcription supports 17 languages, while audio, video, and transcribe-only modes cover different meeting setups. Bot-free capture is available, and integrations include Zapier, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Slack, and MCP. Core costs $8 per user/month annually or $16 monthly; Advanced costs $15 annually or $30 monthly. There is no permanent free plan, but a seven-day trial is available.\n\nAn alternative may fit better if you need a lasting free tier, broader language coverage, API or self-hosted access, exports, templates, or a different recording method. Compare whether capture uses a bot or the user’s computer, which conferencing platforms are supported, and how much history the free tier retains. Platform coverage also matters: some choices add web access, browser extensions, or APIs, while others focus on selected desktops and mobile devices. Weigh those differences against Krisp’s integrations, storage, team controls, and security features before switching.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:fellow", "name": "Fellow", "best_for": "Free-tier meeting notes across many platforms", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $7/user/mo annually; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Fellow offers a permanent free plan and API, web, and extension access alongside Krisp’s core meeting features.", "choose_when": "Choose Fellow if you need a free option with broader platform access at a lower paid starting price."}, {"ref": "sw:circleback", "name": "Circleback", "best_for": "Multilingual bot-based capture with calendar connections", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $15/user/mo annually", "key_difference": "Circleback supports 110 transcription languages and bot capture across six named meeting platforms, versus Krisp’s 17 languages and bot-free option.", "choose_when": "Choose Circleback for much broader language coverage and a free plan, accepting bot capture and 30-day free history."}, {"ref": "sw:notta", "name": "Notta", "best_for": "Large-language transcription with extensive exports", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $8.17/user/mo annually; 7-day trial", "key_difference": "Notta supports 58 languages, speaker identification, timestamps, and five export formats, while Krisp specifies 17 languages and no listed exports.", "choose_when": "Choose Notta when multilingual transcription, timestamps, and TXT, DOCX, SRT, PDF, or XLSX exports matter."}, {"ref": "sw:grain", "name": "Grain", "best_for": "Conversation intelligence and coaching feedback", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $15/user/mo; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Grain adds insights and coaching feedback, supports 130 languages, and can transcribe computer audio without a bot.", "choose_when": "Choose Grain for conversation coaching, wider language coverage, or bot-free computer-audio capture with in-person meeting support."}, {"ref": "sw:acta", "name": "Acta", "best_for": "Searchable questions across selected meeting transcripts", "pricing": "Pricing on request; 15-day trial", "key_difference": "Acta provides Ask Acta transcript questions and self-hosted access, while offering bot or desktop and extension capture.", "choose_when": "Choose Acta when cross-meeting transcript questions, self-hosting, or a 15-day trial outweighs its undisclosed pricing."}, {"ref": "sw:meetgeek", "name": "MeetGeek", "best_for": "Free bot capture with broad conferencing coverage", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $9.99/user/mo annually; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "MeetGeek covers 100 languages and seven named meeting platforms, but its free tier limits transcription and storage and uses bots.", "choose_when": "Choose MeetGeek for a free plan with broad platform and language coverage, if its history limits fit your needs."}, {"ref": "sw:laxis", "name": "Laxis", "best_for": "Template-driven meeting notes with a free plan", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $9.99/mo; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Laxis adds note templates and supports seven named meeting platforms with bot capture, while Krisp offers bot-free capture and more integrations.", "choose_when": "Choose Laxis when reusable note templates and a free plan matter more than Krisp’s bot-free recording and workflow integrations."}]}
