### 5/5 — A must have

*2026-08-25, version 3.28.0*

Delegating note taking with Plaud has been a game changer. With a click of a button I can capture multiple speakers with a quick transcription of my meetings. Additional AI assistance with next steps to take is my favorite feature. You want to stand out from your pears? Get Plaud to get into those leadership rolls.

### 5/5 — Life changer

*2026-08-25, version 3.28.0*

This is the best and most useful tool I’ve ever used specially since it has a Claude MCP

### 5/5 — New Hire - Best Investment

*2026-08-24, version 3.28.0*

Love the assistance and leverage of a secretary and assistant to make daily workflow! Tks

### 1/5 — No Easy Way to Cancel Service

*2026-08-23, version 3.27.1*

It took over a 12 emails to cancel this service. Avoid this service.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2026-08-22, version 3.27.1*

Plaud is a game changer. I am a part time futures trader and I follow  a few expeirenced traders and former investment bankers. I also have ADHD so before I would only retain 50%. Now I have a transcript to reference and a through breakdown of key takeaways and ideas. It also allows you to preform other analysis of the transcript like intent and reasoning. I think this is the best way so far to use AI as it cant really hallucinate as it only has one source to reference. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a virtual analyst.

### 1/5 — Loses Sync Constantly

*2026-08-22, version 3.27.1*

This device constantly is losing sync with my Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max. I spend more time syncing it back to my phone that I do actually using it. It’s a piece of junk.

### 3/5 — UX Marginal Ai Not Good

*2026-08-21, version 3.27.1*

It works and it’s probably better than it’s competitors, but it’s still only average for one thing. The user interface is very clunky. You have to click four or five times to figure out where the original audio file is and then look for it at the top under sources that’s bad. Also the so-called templates per AI suck. I would never use them. The original transcript is best likely what I’ll be doing. Is copy pasting the transcript into a real AI model like my professional ChatGPT it’s OK, but it’s not great not yet.

### 5/5 — Pretty decent so far

*2026-08-21, version 3.27.1*

It’s been a pretty good experience so far; it really helped with my note-taking and let me listen and engage more fully in conversations. I did have to pay for a subscription, and I chose the most expensive plan. The con so far is that it takes a while to download the transcript or notes, the AI tool intelligence is medium, and the identified speakers are sometimes incorrect. Overall, I really like this product and I look forward to seeing how this tool develops. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Way overpriced

*2026-08-21, version 3.27.1*

Technically good but limited free minutes per month after having paid a huge amount for the device is a really bad deal and makes the system virtually useless unless you pay obscene subscription charges

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2026-08-20, version 3.27.1*

My Plaud Pro has been an incredible asset, allowing me to fully engage in meetings without missing important details or moments to speak because I am busy taking notes. And the output formats are exactly what I need!
