Alternatives

One fair page per meeting assistant.

Each comparison covers the same four things: whether a bot joins the call, where the audio is transcribed, what it costs and what your agents can reach. Each one also says when the other tool is the better choice and lists the pages its statements come from, with the day each was read.

Supernormal, Krisp, Granola, Otter, Fathom, Fireflies, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack, Claude, Cursor and other product names on this page are trademarks of their respective owners. They are used here only to identify those products for comparison. Recordist is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of them. Statements about other products describe what their own pages said on the date shown, and each comparison page lists those pages under Sources; tell us at hello@recordist.app if something is out of date and we will correct it.

Recordist

Recordist for Mac is downloading.

Thank you for trying Recordist. Three steps and it is ready before your next call. Open it now, so it is set up in time.

  1. 1Open the download and drag Recordist to Applications, then open it from there.
  2. 2Allow the microphone and system audio when your Mac asks, so both sides of the call are heard. Calendar is optional: it names your meetings and who is in them.
  3. 3Close the window when you like. Recordist waits in the menu bar and, when your next call starts, asks: Record this meeting? Nothing is recorded until you say yes.

The first time it opens, Recordist downloads its speech model: 142 MB in English, 466 MB for other languages. That usually takes a minute or two, and you can record once it finishes. The notes engine, 1 to 3 GB, follows in the background.

Every install includes 7 days of Pro, so your first calls are written up in full.

No call today? Import a recording you already have: in Recordist, Meetings, then Import audio. One of 10 minutes or more starts your 7 days of Pro, and the notes follow the transcript.

While it downloads, get your Free key. More AI notes each month, with no end date. Optional: your download has already started.

Two emails: a link to confirm, then a copy of your key. Nothing else unless you ask. We never sell or share your address, and Resend, our email service, sends them for us. Privacy
