What our research says

Jamy

The live-translation minutes are what separate this from the crowded meeting-notes field — it is aimed at calls where not everyone shares a language. The free tier is generous enough to test properly. The cost of that focus is that translation is metered separately from transcription until you reach the top plan.

Pros

  • Joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams directly
  • Transcription with speaker labels across more than 100 languages
  • Free tier includes 300 transcription minutes a month
  • API keys and webhooks are available on the $29.99 plan

Cons

  • Live translation is metered separately and only uncapped on the top tier
  • The site never names an operating company or country, and the privacy notice does not either
  • API access is gated to the most expensive plan

Read AI

The free tier is unusually generous on breadth — meeting coach, engagement scores, cross-tool search — and stingy on depth, with only five transcripts a month, so it works as a trial rather than a long-term free plan. Pay for Pro if you live in back-to-back calls and want the same assistant reading your inbox and Slack; stick with a cheaper transcriber if all you want is notes.

Pros

  • Covers meetings, email and messaging in one assistant with cited answers across all three
  • Native desktop and mobile apps plus a Chrome extension, not only a web dashboard
  • Public API, webhooks, Zapier, MCP connectors and CRM integrations for getting data out
  • Engagement and sentiment metrics that most transcribers do not attempt
  • SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and HIPAA claims, with training on customer data off by default

Cons

  • Free tier caps transcripts, reports and live notes at five a month
  • Audio and video playback only from the $22.50 Enterprise tier, which needs five licences
  • No refunds, card-only billing, and every licence in a workspace must be on the same plan
  • Engagement and sentiment scoring on colleagues raises consent questions in some workplaces

Which one fits

Choose Jamy if you need

  • Distributed teams running calls across languages
  • People who want notes pushed straight into Slack, a CRM or a task board
  • Anyone who needs a usable free tier before committing

Choose Read AI if you need

  • Sales and customer-facing teams who want engagement and sentiment read-outs after every call
  • People drowning in meetings, email and Slack who want one searchable feed
  • Workspaces that want SSO, SCIM and HIPAA on the top tier
