Where each one falls short

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

Bluedot

Cancelling ends access immediately and recordings are permanently deleted after thirty days, so the product is unsuitable as a meeting archive and any record you need to keep must be exported before the subscription lapses.
The Basic tier at $14 records audio only and caps recordings at one hour, which excludes most workshops, training sessions and long client calls and pushes anyone with real meetings to Pro.
The free tier gives five meetings in total rather than five a month, so it functions as an extended trial and cannot be used as a genuine free option for occasional users.
Recording without a visible bot removes the prompt that alerts participants, but not the consent obligation in jurisdictions requiring all parties to agree, and the product design makes that omission easy to overlook.
It is a small independent vendor in a category where Zoom, Microsoft and Google now bundle equivalent summarisation into subscriptions customers already hold, which is sustained pressure on both pricing and survival.

Streaks

It is iOS and Apple Watch only, with no Android version, so it is not usable for anyone outside Apple's ecosystem.
The base app caps at 24 tracked habits, which is enough for most users but a real limit for anyone wanting to track a larger number of items.
Sync is via iCloud only, so there is no web or cross-platform account, which limits use to Apple devices exclusively.
It has fewer social or accountability features, such as shared habit tracking with friends, compared with some subscription-based competitors.
A single lifetime purchase means no ongoing development revenue tied to the individual user, so it depends on new sales and occasional priced major updates rather than recurring income to fund development.
