Echo records your meetings and writes the notes for you. It works for online calls and in person conversations, transcribes in 100+ languages, and hands you a summary with the key points and action items when the meeting ends. Downloaded 360,000+ times by professionals, students, and teams.* Most note takers only handle online meetings. They send a bot into the call, it sits in the attendee list, and someone always asks what it is. Echo records from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch instead. Nothing to invite, nothing to set up. DOES ECHO WORK FOR IN PERSON MEETINGS? That is what it was built for. Client meetings, 1:1s, interviews, lectures, site visits. Phone on the table, one tap, and you can stop writing and start listening. CAN ECHO RECORD ZOOM, TEAMS, AND GOOGLE MEET CALLS? Yes, and any other call too. Echo records from your iPhone the same way it records a conversation in the room, so the platform does not matter and there is nothing to connect. WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN THE MEETING ENDS? The full transcript, a summary of what was discussed, the key points, and the action items. Enough to write the follow up email without opening the recording again. And when you need one specific thing out of an old meeting, just ask. Echo AI searches the recording for you: what the client agreed to, when the deadline is, who owns what. FEATURES Summaries that give you the decisions and the next steps Key points, so you can jump to the part that mattered Ask Echo AI for answers about any recording Recording on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, so you can start from whatever is closest Works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and calls on any other platform Upload audio you already have and get it transcribed Transcription in 100+ languages Sharing by message, email, or anywhere else you work Folders and search across everything you have recorded Workspaces that keep your whole team on the same notes WHAT USERS SAY From App Store reviews in the US: "One touch and my 90min zoom meeting was summarized in seconds afterwards. This is a career changing tool for me." "If you're in a meeting, this is a must have tool. Never miss anything important!" "Really an amazing tool and very accurate transcriptions with great AI built in features." WHO USES ECHO Salespeople and consultants who need a record of what the client actually said Managers running back to back 1:1s Students recording lectures and seminars Teams that keep losing decisions between meetings IS ECHO FREE? Free to download, and you can record your first meeting straight away. Echo Plus adds longer recordings, unlimited notes, audio file uploads, and sharper summaries, and it starts with a free trial.

Reframe is a personal productivity app built around one idea: your tasks, your goals, and your time are all connected. Most productivity apps optimize one thing. A to-do list. A calendar. A goal tracker. Reframe brings all three together, with an AI scheduler named Meridian that quietly fits your work into your day — no overwhelm, no micromanagement. TASKS THAT KNOW WHERE THEY BELONG Add a task and Reframe suggests when to do it based on your schedule, your goals, and how you work best. Confirm the time block and it appears on your calendar automatically. OBJECTIVES THAT STAY IN SIGHT Tag any task to an objective and watch your progress build over time. Hours invested, description of success, and a full history of everything you've done toward what matters most. A CALENDAR THAT WORKS WITH YOU Connect Google Calendar or Outlook and see everything in one place — your events, your tasks, your time. Reframe syncs both ways so nothing falls through the cracks. MERIDIAN — YOUR SCHEDULER Meridian doesn't flood you with suggestions or send constant reminders. It works in the background, learns your preferences, and helps you plan without getting in the way. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED - Reminders with custom lead times - A built-in notepad for quick capture - Repeat tasks and events - A clean weekly calendar view - Works beautifully on web and iPhone Reframe is free to use. Reframe Pro unlocks extra AI scheduling, Meridian chat, daily briefs and recaps, and more. Privacy Policy: https://work-reframe.net/privacy Terms of Use: https://work-reframe.net/terms

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reframe at 100% against Echo's 39%. Reframe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Echo's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 3) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Echo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Reframe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Reframe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo has 3.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Echo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Reframe's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Echo ships an update every 3 weeks, Reframe every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
