4Minitz vs AfterTheCall

4Minitz is a free, open-source web app for preparing meeting agendas, recording minutes and tracking topics and action items. Teams can create meeting series, invite participants, assign moderators and uploaders, and mark agenda topics as recurring. During meetings, users can record attendance, add information and assign actions to responsible people; logged-in invitees can see changes to current minutes in real time. Unfinished actions and open topics can carry forward, and search covers topic history and full text. Roles control who can edit, upload or view material. Re-finalizing a meeting adds a version number, while older finalized minutes cannot be changed through the normal workflow. Agendas, minutes and actions can be emailed, and finalized protocols can be exported as HTML, PDF or PDF/A when enabled by an administrator. The app can run in a browser or on self-hosted infrastructure and supports Docker. It uses Meteor JS, Node.js and MongoDB, with LDAP and Active Directory options for user import and authentication. A client can temporarily work offline and sync later, but closing a browser or tab before unsaved changes sync can lose them.

AfterTheCall records client meetings through a browser extension and produces AI-generated summaries, action items with owners, and searchable transcripts. It also drafts follow-up emails covering recaps, decisions, next steps, owners, and deadlines. Meeting capture does not add a bot or participant to the call. Supported services include Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and WhatsApp, but the extension requires Chrome or another Chromium-based browser. Integrations include HubSpot, Notion, Jira, Confluence, and Google Docs. The service supports more than 100 languages and regional variants, including meetings that switch between languages. Users can share selected audio, summaries, action items, notes, and transcripts through links. Meeting audio is encrypted in transit and at rest, held with access controls, and can be deleted on demand. The maker says private meeting content is not used to train public models. The Free plan includes three client calls, one follow-up email per call, and manual recording. Pro is $9 a month, billed monthly.
