Cons

  • Auto-join can feel intrusive — needs team etiquette
  • Best summaries gated to paid tiers
  • Auto-join feels intrusive. Teams without recording etiquette report awkward moments — needs explicit norms.
  • Best summaries on paid tiers. Free tier transcript is solid but the AI summary quality jumps meaningfully on Pro.
  • Consent compliance is on you. Regulated-industry reviewers warn about confirming recording consent rules before deploying.
