Why choose MeetStream over Recall.ai?

Is MeetStream a drop-in replacement for Recall.ai?

MeetStream covers the same core workflow, join, record, stream, and transcribe, through one unified API, with a migration kit available on npm and PyPI.

How much can I save by switching from Recall.ai?

At $0.35/hr versus $0.50/hr you save about 30% at the base rate, and more at volume where MeetStream drops to $0.25/hr.

Does MeetStream support the same platforms as Recall.ai?

Yes. MeetStream works with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

Do you offer transcription like Recall.ai?

Yes. In-house transcription is available as a +$0.10/hr add-on rather than reselling a third-party engine.
