5 tl;dv alternatives, ranked
1. Fathom - 78/100 · Grade B
The free, frictionless notetaker for Zoom and Google Meet.
Best-in-class free tier - unlimited recording and AI summaries for individual users. Lightning-fast setup and a clean UI make it the go-to recommendation for solo founders and small sales teams. Limited beyond English meetings and weak on enterprise compliance.
Best at: Pricing & Value (76%), Integration - CRM (72%), Organization & Search (67%)
2. Fireflies.ai - 82/100 · Grade A
Massive integration library and conversation search at SMB scale.
Bot-based notetaker with one of the widest integration catalogs (CRMs, chat, docs, automation). Great cross-meeting search and AI summaries at affordable pricing. Trails specialists like Gong on sales coaching and Avoma on talk-ratio analytics.
Best at: Organization & Search (90%), Knowledge Management (87%), Integration - CRM (80%)
3. Grain - 81/100 · Grade A
Video clip library for revenue teams that share customer voice.
Strong at turning meetings into highlight reels and embedding them into Slack and CRMs. Beloved by PMM and CS teams who need to circulate customer quotes. Less suited for individual notetaking or non-revenue use cases.
Best at: Organization & Search (83%), Knowledge Management (80%), Integration - CRM (80%)
4. Claap - 70/100 · Grade B
Async video + meeting notetaker for distributed product teams.
French SaaS blending async video updates with synchronous meeting recording, summaries, and CRM sync. Great for product and sales teams that work asynchronously. Less suited for in-person or compliance-heavy use.
Best at: Organization & Search (87%), Transcription Quality (80%), Knowledge Management (80%)
5. Noota - 86/100 · Grade A
EU-first notetaker for sales & recruitment with custom templates.
French AI notetaker built around customizable report templates, an AI voice agent, and deep ATS/CRM integrations. Strongest in recruitment workflows and structured sales discovery, with GDPR-ready EU hosting. Less battle-tested at very large enterprise scale than Gong or Avoma.
Best at: Integration - ATS (95%), Telephony & VoIP (92%), Security & Compliance (90%)
How to choose your replacement
Migrating notetaker is mostly about three constraints: the meeting platforms you actually use, the languages your calls are in, and where the recordings are allowed to live. Score those three first, then look at integrations and price. The quiz weights all 14 categories against your answers and returns a personalised ranking in about a minute.
