AI Meeting & Transcription Tool Reviews

We read every meeting-transcription tool's own pricing and help pages for one thing: whether the free plan lets you download the full transcript as a file you keep, and how long it survives before the tool deletes it.

What we check here

On the free plan, can you export the full transcript as a file you keep — or does download only unlock when you pay?

Every number carries the date we read it, and anything the vendor does not state is left blank rather than estimated. The full procedure is on the methodology page.

Reviews

• Which AI meeting tools let you download the transcript on a free plan?

  Otter, Fireflies and Fathom all transcribe for free. Only one documents a transcript file you can download without paying, one puts download behind Pro, and one never says.
