Stop taking notes in meetings. Record the conversation and Cadence writes it up: a short recap, the decisions made and the action items agreed, each linked to the exact moment it was said. Two transcription hours are free every week. Cadence Pro removes the weekly limit. SUMMARIES YOU CAN CHECK Every recap, decision and action item points back to the part of the transcript it came from. Tap it to read the passage or hear the recording. WHO SAID WHAT, AND WHEN Transcripts are labeled by speaker with timestamps. Name a speaker once and the name stays with that meeting. RECORD ANYWHERE Record on iPhone with one tap, from your wrist on Apple Watch, or import audio you already have. On Mac, Cadence records your microphone and the call's audio from the menu bar. Nothing joins your call. FIND ANY CONVERSATION Search every meeting for what was said, or narrow it to one project. Jump straight to the moment and listen. READY BEFORE IT STARTS Connect your calendar to see what's coming up. Linked meetings get their title, invitees and project automatically. SHARE THE WHOLE MEETING Share a meeting or a project, with the summary and full transcript. Audio stays behind sign-in. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your recordings stay in your own library until you choose to share them. GOOD TO KNOW Transcription and summaries run in the cloud and need an internet connection and a verified account. AI transcripts, summaries and speaker labels can contain mistakes, so check the recording when accuracy matters. Record only with the consent your conversation requires. SUBSCRIPTIONS Free includes two transcription hours each week. Cadence Pro provides unlimited personal transcription under our fair use policy, with monthly or annual auto-renewing subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cadence at none against Limemo's shown. Cadence also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (5 vs 2). Limemo's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Limemo sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Cadence sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Limemo against 5.0 for Cadence. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Limemo has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Limemo ships an update every 3 days, Cadence every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
