Same meeting.
Both tools.
Judged blind.
Comparison pages usually give the other side a column full of crosses, and nobody believes them. So we ran real meetings through both tools, took the product names off, and had them scored blind.
Three blind head-to-heads published so far. MeetNotes scored higher overall in all three — and where a rival beat us on something, that is on the page too.
MeetNotes 8.1 · Fathom 5.7
Scored blind. Fathom got the speaker and company names right where we did not — published with the result.
vs Microsoft Teams · real 38-minute callMeetNotes ~8.8 · Teams ~6.8
Scored blind. Teams caught more words; MeetNotes got the product names right.
vs Fireflies.ai · real 89-minute two-language meetingMeetNotes 8.7–9.2 · Fireflies 4.7–5.2
Scored blind. Fireflies led on no criterion the judge rated.
One meeting is one meeting: a result is what happened to that recording on that day, not a general ranking. Every score, the rubric, and which AI assistant judged each run are on the open challenge page, which also publishes the results we lose and every criterion we lost on.
MeetNotes vs Microsoft Teams
Blind-scored on a real 38-minute call: MeetNotes about 8.8, Teams about 6.8. Teams caught more words; MeetNotes got the names right. And MeetNotes records the meetings that have no call at all.
vs Otter.aiMeetNotes vs Otter.ai
Meetings that switch language mid-sentence — Otter lists six transcription languages — minutes as PDF or Word for people with no account, and the room as well as the call.
vs Fireflies.aiMeetNotes vs Fireflies.ai
Blind-scored on a real 89-minute two-language meeting: MeetNotes 8.7–9.2, Fireflies 4.7–5.2. Minutes you can send as a document, not only a call archive.
vs FathomMeetNotes vs Fathom
Blind-scored on a real 31-minute two-language call: MeetNotes 8.1, Fathom 5.7 — clearer speaker turns and the spoken language kept. Fathom got the speaker and company names right where we did not, and we publish that too. Plus meetings in a room, not only on a call.
vs GranolaMeetNotes vs Granola
Nobody has to type: a speaker-labelled transcript with names you confirm, and minutes other people receive as PDF or Word.
vs PlaudMeetNotes vs Plaud
No device to buy, charge or carry — the phone you already own, plus a notetaker for online calls.
vs Read AIMeetNotes vs Read AI
Meetings that switch language mid-sentence (Read AI's own help centre says multi-language meetings are not fully supported), minutes as a PDF or Word file anyone can open, and on Android your phone's call recordings turned into call notes.
vs NottaMeetNotes vs Notta
Rooms that switch language mid-sentence with nothing to set first, formats written for the work (OPD consultations, lectures, site visits), and on Android your phone's call recordings turned into call notes.
vs tl;dvMeetNotes vs tl;dv
Minutes as a PDF or Word file anyone can open (tl;dv's help centre describes transcript download as copying to the clipboard, on paid plans), and rooms that switch language mid-sentence.
vs TurboScribeMeetNotes vs TurboScribe
A phone app that records the meeting itself, separates the speakers and writes the minutes (summary, decisions, action items), where TurboScribe transcribes files you upload and leaves the minutes to you.
vs Google Meet notesMeetNotes vs Google Meet "Take notes for me"
Google's own help page says "Take notes for me" supports one language at a time and lists eight languages, none of them Indian. MeetNotes takes the meeting as spoken, mixed mid-sentence, and hands you a PDF or Word file anyone can open.
vs Zoom AI CompanionMeetNotes vs Zoom AI Companion
Zoom's summary covers Hindi on a call — but its in-person voice recorder lists twelve languages and Hindi is not among them, and both need a paid licence. MeetNotes records any room on any phone and exports minutes as PDF or Word for people with no account.
vs ChatGPT RecordMeetNotes vs ChatGPT Record
ChatGPT Record lives in the ChatGPT app for Mac, on paid plans. MeetNotes records the room from any phone, sends a notetaker into Zoom, Meet or Teams, and hands you minutes as a PDF or Word file — and it also works inside ChatGPT, so you can ask about every meeting there.
vs recorder + ChatGPTMeetNotes vs a voice recorder and ChatGPT
Who said what, hour-plus meetings that do not quietly lose the middle, and a finished document — without the export-upload-prompt ritual.
The rules these
pages follow
No invented weaknesses
Every claim about another product is sourced to that company's own public documentation, with the date we checked it. If we cannot source it, it is not on the page.
No prices
Theirs or ours. Prices change without telling us, and a stale price on a comparison page is a false statement that outlives whoever typed it.
Evidence, not adjectives
Where we say MeetNotes wins, there is a blind head-to-head or a documented difference behind it — and a test you can run on your own recording, judged by an AI we do not control.
Corrections get made
If a competitor thinks we have described their product wrongly, write to support@getmeetnotes.com. We will check it and fix the page.
The short version of every page here: MeetNotes wins on meetings that switch language mid-sentence, on names and numbers, and on minutes you can send as a PDF or Word file — in the room, on the call, or from your laptop, in one account. Each page also says plainly where the other tool still fits.
