What our research says

LazyNotes

LazyNotes is a simple one-tap recorder aimed at people who want a summary of a conversation without opening a laptop, priced as a flat $5/month rather than per-minute or per-seat. It's iPhone-only today, so it doesn't help anyone on Android or anyone needing to summarize calls that don't happen face to face on the phone.

Pros

One-tap recording with automatic shutdown and offline capability
Customizable summary templates for different types of conversations
Flat $5/month price with no per-minute metering

Cons

iOS only, with no Android app and no firm release date for one
Single flat plan with no team or higher-volume tier
Audio is deleted after transcription, so the original recording can't be replayed later

MeetGeek

The cheapest credible notetaker that still ships a real API and MCP server, at roughly half what Otter and Fireflies charge for comparable output. The free tier's three-hour monthly cap is too tight to properly evaluate it, so budget for Pro from day one.

Pros

$9.99 per user per month undercuts most notetakers at the same feature level
API, webhooks and an MCP server are included on paid tiers rather than enterprise-gated
Free plan includes unlimited AI summaries, not just raw transcripts
Transcription covers 100+ languages, which most cheap rivals do not

Cons

Retention is the real paywall: 3 months of transcripts on free, 1 year on Pro
Per-meeting recording length is capped at 2 hours on free and 3-4 hours on paid
The bot joins visibly, which some clients and legal teams refuse outright
Unlimited transcription only arrives at the $17/user Business tier
