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.; Trint the Starter plan caps at seven files a month with no rollover, which a working journalist exhausts in a fortnight, so the advertised entry price is not the price most buyers will actually pay.
  • They diverge on capability: MeetGeek covers Automatic meeting join, Trint covers Bound transcript editor.
  • 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 Trint
  • 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 Trint
  • 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 Trint
  • A distributed team where people miss calls across time zones and need a searchable record rather than a recording nobody watches.not Trint

Trint

  • A newsroom where three reporters and a producer work the same long interview to a deadline and need to see each other's highlights rather than passing files around.not MeetGeek
  • A video desk cutting a package from an interview, pushing selected transcript segments straight into Premiere Pro instead of scrubbing a timeline for quotes.not MeetGeek
  • An investigations team building a searchable archive of interviews so a name mentioned two years ago surfaces when it becomes relevant.not MeetGeek
  • A broadcaster producing subtitles in several languages from the same source transcript with speaker labels preserved.not 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.

Trint

  • The Starter plan caps at seven files a month with no rollover, which a working journalist exhausts in a fortnight, so the advertised entry price is not the price most buyers will actually pay.
  • It is priced per seat at professional software levels, so giving every reporter in a mid-sized newsroom a licence is a substantial annual line item compared with a general transcription tool.
  • Transcription accuracy on poor field audio, crowded rooms, phone lines and heavy accents still requires correction, and the correction time is the real cost rather than the subscription.
  • Single sign-on, SCIM, audit logs and API access are gated to a quoted Enterprise tier, so any organisation with an identity policy cannot use the published pricing at all.
  • The tooling is optimised for editorial workflow rather than raw volume, so a team that mainly needs a lot of cheap transcripts and no collaboration is paying for a surface it will not use.

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.

Trint: What is the file limit on the entry plan?

Seven files per month with no rollover. Most working journalists need the Advanced plan with unlimited files.

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.

Trint: Does it integrate with a video edit?

Yes, through an Adobe Premiere Pro panel that pushes selected transcript segments into the timeline.

MeetGeek: Which meeting platforms does it join?

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

Trint: Do I need Enterprise for single sign-on?

Yes. SAML, SCIM, audit logs and API access are all on the quoted Enterprise tier.

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.

Trint: How accurate is it?

Good on clean studio and conference audio, noticeably weaker on noisy field recordings, phone lines and strong accents, where correction time dominates.

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.

Trint: Is annual billing much cheaper?

Yes, roughly a third off. Starter falls from around 80 to 52 US dollars and Advanced from around 100 to 60 per seat per month.
