The short version

  • Only MeetGeek has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: MeetGeek the free tier is capped at three hours of transcription a month and one month of audio retention, which is a demonstration rather than a working allowance, and the retention limit deletes evidence just as it becomes useful.; Reduct automatic transcription struggles with technical vocabulary, product names and strong accents, so teams working in specialist domains spend real time correcting transcripts or pay extra for the human transcription add-on, which erodes the cost advantage.
  • They diverge on capability: MeetGeek covers Automatic meeting join, Reduct covers Transcript-based editing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

MeetGeek

  • A sales team that needs every discovery call summarised into the CRM record automatically so a handover does not depend on whoever took notes.not Reduct
  • An agency that must be able to show a client exactly what was agreed on a call six months ago, where transcript retention length is the deciding feature.not Reduct
  • A recruitment team running many first-stage interviews who want structured summaries and highlight clips to share with a hiring manager instead of a full recording.not Reduct
  • A distributed team where people miss calls across time zones and need a searchable record rather than a recording nobody watches.not Reduct

Reduct

  • A research team that runs twenty customer interviews a quarter and needs stakeholders across product and design to watch and comment without buying them seatsnot MeetGeek
  • A researcher assembling a five-minute highlight reel of user pain points for an executive review, working from transcript text rather than a video timelinenot MeetGeek
  • A public defender office redacting faces and identifying details from body-camera and interview footage before disclosurenot MeetGeek
  • A global insights team transcribing and translating interviews across several languages before coding them thematicallynot MeetGeek

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

MeetGeek

  • The free tier is capped at three hours of transcription a month and one month of audio retention, which is a demonstration rather than a working allowance, and the retention limit deletes evidence just as it becomes useful.
  • Pro is capped at 20 hours a month, so anyone in back-to-back meetings hits the ceiling in the first fortnight and is pushed to the Business tier regardless of team size.
  • A visible assistant joins the call, which changes how candidly people speak, and in jurisdictions with two-party consent rules it creates a legal obligation the buyer, not the vendor, has to manage.
  • Summaries are machine-generated and will misattribute statements in overlapping speech, so they should never be treated as an authoritative record of a contentious discussion.
  • It is a smaller company than the dominant players in this category, so the integration catalogue is narrower and there is less enterprise procurement, security review and audit history to lean on.

Reduct

  • Automatic transcription struggles with technical vocabulary, product names and strong accents, so teams working in specialist domains spend real time correcting transcripts or pay extra for the human transcription add-on, which erodes the cost advantage.
  • Transcription hours are a pooled annual allowance rather than monthly, so a team that front-loads a large research programme in one quarter can exhaust the year and face overage charges for the remaining nine months.
  • The Personal tier caps file size at 4GB, which is easily exceeded by an hour of multicam or high-bitrate recording, forcing an upgrade for reasons unrelated to the feature set.
  • Independent review coverage is very thin, so there is little public evidence to check vendor claims against, and buyers effectively have to rely on their own trial rather than peer signal.
  • The company has raised only about 4 million USD since 2018 and remains small, which makes enterprise vendor viability review and data-export planning genuinely necessary before you make it the home of years of research recordings.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

MeetGeek: How long are recordings kept?

It depends on the plan: 1 month of audio on free, 6 months on Pro, 12 months of video on Business, and custom on Enterprise. Transcripts last longer than media on every tier.

Reduct: How is Reduct priced?

Per editor per month: 12 USD on Personal, 40 on Professional and from 75 on Enterprise, with transcription supplied as a pooled annual hour allowance per editor.

MeetGeek: Is there a real free plan?

Yes, but only 3 hours of transcription a month with 1 month of audio retention, which is a trial in practice.

Reduct: Do stakeholders who only watch and comment need a paid seat?

No. Commenters are separate from editor seats and included up to 10 on Personal and 50 on Professional, which is the main reason research teams choose it.

MeetGeek: Which meeting platforms does it join?

Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, from a connected calendar.

Reduct: Can I use it as a proper video editor?

Only up to a point. It handles transcript-driven cutting, reels and multicam sync, then exports to Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro when you need real finishing.

MeetGeek: Do participants know it is recording?

Yes, the assistant appears as a participant. Consent handling under local recording law remains the customer's responsibility.

Reduct: Is there a free tier?

No. There is a 14-day trial on Professional with five hours of transcription, but no permanent free plan.

MeetGeek: What is the transcription cap on Pro?

20 hours per month. Unlimited transcription starts on the Business plan at 17 US dollars per user per month.
