Decisions vs Standup Alice

Decisions is meeting management software that records and transcribes meetings, produces AI summaries, tracks action items, and keeps a searchable archive. Teams can co-author agendas and collaborate on structured meetings stored in Teams. Tasks can sync to Microsoft Planner with assignees and due dates, and note templates are available. Decisions works in Teams, web, desktop, iOS, Android, Outlook, and Word, and connects with Microsoft 365 services including OneNote, Planner, and SharePoint. Optional AI connectors include Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT. Meeting content stays in the organization’s Microsoft 365 tenant; AI processing uses Azure OpenAI with no data retention. The free plan is available to organizations with up to 30 users on their Microsoft 365 tenant and requires no credit card. Basic costs $8 a month per user when billed annually and includes 200 AI credits monthly. Monthly billing has no lock-in and can be canceled anytime; annual billing runs for 12 months and saves up to 20%.

Standup Alice is a web-based bot for running asynchronous stand-up meetings. It reminds team members to answer questions, then sends a team summary at a chosen time to multiple channels and email. Teams can customize questions for each meeting, use threaded conversations for readable summaries, and manage multiple teams and workspaces, including shared channels and members in Slack Connect. Scheduling supports multiple time zones and both synchronous and asynchronous stand-ups. The maker lists Slack, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex and Google Chat among its platform options. The free plan covers Slack teams of one to four people and includes custom questions, reminders, admin summaries and reports, scheduling and time-zone integration. Paid plans describe support for larger teams, with multiple-team support, in-thread interaction, multi-channel support and invoice billing among higher-tier features. The pricing note says paid from $1.99/user/mo; plan details also list Paid - Pro at $1 a month, billed per user/month. Its full-featured free trial lasts six weeks, requires no credit card and may be longer for some teams.
