Turn meetings and interviews into clear notes you can use. Meetly records the conversation, transcribes it on your device, and keeps the summary, transcript and original audio together. Stay present while you record. Revisit key decisions, review action items and replay the original words when you need the details. START FREE Save up to 5 conversations, up to 25 minutes each. Upgrade to Meetly Pro for unlimited recording and additional AI features. RECORD, TRANSCRIBE AND REVISIT • Record and transcribe offline after downloading a transcription model. • Create an AI summary, search the transcript, and replay the original audio. • Correct transcripts with Find & Replace and guide summaries with your own instructions. • Export summaries with speaker-labeled transcripts as PDFs. • Back up and restore your conversation library as a ZIP. • Transcribe in English and 24 other European languages, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and 19 more Indian languages (experimental, powered by AI4Bharat), and many other languages with Whisper. Availability varies by model. YOUR APPLE DEVICES, ONE LIBRARY Optional private iCloud sync keeps recordings across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Audio sync is a separate choice. On Mac, record calls on Zoom, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and other calling apps without a meeting bot joining. This call-capture feature is for Mac. Record with the knowledge and permission of the people involved. PRIVATE CAPTURE. YOUR CONTROL. Recording and transcription run on your device, offline after the required model download. Cloud summaries are optional and send transcript text, never audio, to the provider. Connecting an AI assistant separately authorizes access to your library; that access can continue until you revoke it in Meetly. Depending on the connection mode, Connect AI may also store encrypted conversation data. PUT YOUR CONVERSATIONS TO WORK Connect your library to a compatible AI assistant to turn a client conversation into a follow-up, a brainstorm into a brief, or a product discussion into a specification. Available tools and actions depend on your connected assistant. CONVERSATION INSIGHTS · BETA On iPhone and iPad, explore recurring topics, conversation types and speaking shares across the last 7 or 30 days, then return to the original conversations. Insights are estimates based on available transcripts and speaker labels. Experimental speaker labels and My Voice can help identify speakers on your device. Accuracy varies. YOUR DAY. YOUR NEWSPAPER. Turn conversations into a personal newspaper shaped around your work and interests. Start with Meetly’s sample newspaper and setup guide. Research, fact-checking and delivery depend on your chosen AI service; check important claims against original sources. MEETLY PRO Unlock unlimited recording and additional AI features with one subscription across your Apple devices. See the in-app plan for current features, allowances and pricing. Connected AI services have their own features, limits and terms. Meetly Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Meetly at none against echo's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
