Otter.ai: If you want the largest install base in this category and the widest set of integrations and enterprise references.

AI meeting recording, transcription and summaries with published per-seat pricing
As of 31 August 2026, MeetGeek has a free plan and paid plans start at $9.99/month. MeetGeek joins Zoom, Meet and Teams calls, transcribes them and writes summaries, and unusually for this category it publishes what storage you get on each tier. Softwr lists it under Productivity. MeetGeek is made by MeetGeek AI, available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
MeetGeek is a meeting assistant that joins scheduled calls on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, records and transcribes them across a wide set of languages, then produces summaries, action items and highlight clips. It distributes those outputs into a shared team workspace and pushes them into CRM and project tools so a meeting outcome ends up in the system where the work happens rather than in a document nobody reopens. The distinguishing detail is that it publishes retention as a feature, which competitors mostly do not. The free tier holds transcripts for three months and audio for one. Pro at 9.99 US dollars per user per month holds transcripts for a year and audio for six months. Business at 17 holds transcripts indefinitely and video for twelve months. That matters because the failure mode with meeting assistants is not accuracy, it is discovering the recording you need was deleted. Anyone building a searchable institutional record of meetings should read the retention column before the feature list. Buyers are sales teams, agencies, recruiters and consultancies who need a defensible record of what a client agreed. The trade-offs are the ones common to the category: an assistant visibly joins the call, which changes how people speak and requires consent handling in jurisdictions with two-party recording rules; and the transcription is machine output, so summaries of a contentious discussion should not be treated as an authoritative record. Compared with the largest players in this category, MeetGeek is a smaller company with a correspondingly smaller integration catalogue and less enterprise procurement history.
The honest half
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about MeetGeek.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Answered, with sources
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
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.
Yes, but only 3 hours of transcription a month with 1 month of audio retention, which is a trial in practice.
Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, from a connected calendar.
Yes, the assistant appears as a participant. Consent handling under local recording law remains the customer's responsibility.
20 hours per month. Unlimited transcription starts on the Business plan at 17 US dollars per user per month.
