What people use each for

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

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.

Tana

  • The free plan hosts only 5 meetings a month with AI transcripts and summaries
  • The free plan connects only 1 calendar and allows 50 AI queries
  • Pro is $30 per user per month at standard price, with $20 shown as an early bird rate
  • Max is $120 per user per month at standard price, with $80 shown as an early bird rate
  • Integrations and full MCP require the Pro plan
  • Dedicated support and onboarding, and unlimited agents, skills and types, require the Max plan
  • The Business plan is custom priced, billed yearly and has no published rate
  • The free trial runs 30 days
