  • 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 tldraw

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.

tldraw

  • Production SDK use requires a license key; the dual licensing model means open-source development is free but commercial deployments are not
  • Limited ecosystem of community plugins; third-party extensibility less mature than some competitors
  • Multiplayer functionality requires custom backend implementation; real-time sync is not fully managed by tldraw
  • Mobile touch experience is functional but less optimised than desktop; precision drawing on tablets is challenging
