tl;dv

Overview

tl;dv competes in the most crowded corner of this library, and its case rests on two things: the free plan really is unlimited recordings and transcriptions in 30-plus languages, and it can record from the desktop without a bot joining the call, so clients never ask who the extra participant is. Above that, the paid tiers add multi-meeting AI reports — what did every discovery call this month say about pricing — and auto-logging of notes and action items into the CRM, which is where a sales or customer-success team gets real value. The company states on its homepage that it partners with Anthropic for its generative AI. Ratings are strong (G2 4.7 on more than 500 reviews), and the criticism is mostly about setup being less streamlined than it could be. The pricing page is served in euros — Pro at €18 a seat on annual billing, Business at €29 — and lives at an unobvious URL, so budget in EUR until you see USD in your own checkout. Fathom and Granola also offer free unlimited notes, so the decision turns on integrations, not price. Buy tl;dv if you want CRM auto-logging and cross-meeting reports without a bot in the room. Buy Fathom if you only need free summaries, or Fireflies.ai if you need the widest integration catalog.
