Acta vs Read AI

Acta records Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings, then creates transcripts, summaries and action items. Meetings can be captured by a bot, or recorded from a user's computer through the desktop app or Chrome extension without a notetaker joining. Ask Acta searches selected meeting transcripts and answers questions across them. Role-specific templates can generate outputs such as sales reports, interview scorecards, product requirements, tickets and clinical notes. Listed integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook, Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com and Gmail, along with the meeting platforms. Acta says recordings and notes remain in the user's account unless shared, and meeting data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The free plan provides 600 minutes of storage and limited AI summaries and action points; Pro lists unlimited transcription, AI summaries and storage. Pricing is on request, and a 15-day trial is listed. Enterprise includes options such as on-premise deployment, SSO, APIs, private storage and custom data retention.
