Dictaria, Fireflies, tl;dv, and Fellow are MeetGeek alternatives for different destinations: personal recall and live help, connected work systems, recurring reports, or shared meeting routines. Keep MeetGeek if its follow-up automation already fits. Compare included hours, overages, billing terms, and retention alongside the workflow; where a published quote is unclear, this guide says so.

Pricing: what would your meeting week cost?
MeetGeek advertises Pro at $9.99 per month, but we could not confirm the billing cadence, so the table does not infer an annual or flexible-monthly price. Its twenty included hours and $0.50 hourly overage are useful for estimating a busy week. Confirm the checkout terms before comparing that headline with Dictaria, Fireflies, or another plan’s AI and storage limits.
Amounts are USD per user per month unless marked otherwise; Jamie is in EUR. Annual equivalents require an annual commitment, and unconfirmed billing terms are labeled.
| Tool | Paid plan & billing | Free access & limits that matter |
|---|---|---|
| MeetGeek | Pro — advertised from $9.99/month
| The public page shows $9.99/user/month; confirm the selected billing term at checkout. Free: 3 hours/month. Pro: 20 hours/month; additional hours are $0.50 each.MeetGeek pricing source |
| Dictaria Our product | Pro — planned launch price
| Currently free Pro access during public beta. Planned Pro: 100 cloud hours/month, 8-hour meetings, and unlimited interactive AI requests under fair use. $200/year.Dictaria pricing source |
| Fireflies | Pro

Dictaria Pro is free during the public beta. Its planned launch price is $20/month or $200/year, with Coach included. The planned $12/month Plus plan does not include Coach. Compare your meeting hours and AI requests with the full Dictaria plan limits before choosing.
Privacy: where the audio and text go
MeetGeek’s public pricing states no external model training; that is not enough to infer a separate own-model training promise. Pro also distinguishes text-history and audio-retention periods. Enterprise options such as custom retention or on-premises deployment should not be attributed to an individual plan. Dictaria’s temporary guest local session offers a separate choice without saved account history or cloud Coach.
Bot-free capture does not guarantee local processing. Likewise, a no-training promise does not mean meeting content is never stored. These rows describe published policies, not an independent security audit.
| Tool | Audio, text & processing | Training, retention & control |
|---|---|---|
| MeetGeek | EU/US storage options. Pro lists one-year transcript and six-month audio storage; Free lists three months and one month respectively. | Its pricing page promises no training of external models. Enterprise adds custom/zero retention and on-premise storage options. Confirm the scope of any internal model use with the vendor.MeetGeek privacy source · Additional detail |
| Dictaria Our product | Guest local audio and text stay on-device. Signed-in local transcripts are saved to the account. Cloud transcription and Coach send relevant content to providers. | No general-purpose model training. Provider retention can reach 30 days for transcription and 55 days for text AI. Saved content defaults to one year, with shorter or manual retention options.Dictaria privacy source |
| Fireflies | Meeting records live in Fireflies. Its zero-retention agreements apply to processing vendors, not to your saved Fireflies library. | No internal or external AI training on meeting content. Sharing permissions and admin retention controls govern saved records; some governance features require Enterprise.Fireflies privacy source |
| tl;dv | Cloud recordings and transcripts. Its security documentation identifies European data centers; processor arrangements still matter for generative AI. | States that customer data is not used to train AI. Review workspace sharing and the plan’s recording retention before treating the library as a permanent archive.tl;dv privacy source |
| Fellow | Cloud meeting records, with workspace permissions and controls for recording and sharing. Check the exact plan’s administrative features. | Fellow states that meeting data is never used to train AI models. Deletion and organization governance remain separate from that no-training commitment.Fellow privacy source |
In Dictaria, guest local transcription is temporary and has no cloud AI. Signed-in local mode saves text to your account, and Coach sends selected context to cloud AI. Follow Dictaria’s complete data flow to choose the mode that fits your meeting.
When to keep MeetGeek
MeetGeek describes meeting capture, analytics, chat, and automated workflows, with API and MCP access among its connection options. Meeting search or AI-tool connectivity alone does not distinguish Dictaria from it. MeetGeek documentation.
Keep MeetGeek in consideration when automated routing is already part of your team’s routine. A new tool should reproduce the necessary destination and permission behavior before you remove an existing workflow.
Fewer destinations can be a feature
Draw the path from a meeting to the places its output appears. Every extra copy needs an owner and a reason to exist. For personal use, a searchable record may be enough. For a team, a well-defined handoff can be essential. Prefer the smallest distribution pattern that reliably gets the work done.
Where Dictaria fits
Dictaria combines an individual meeting record with requested Coach guidance and questions across saved conversations. Selected references can help Coach respond with relevant context. That combination is worth testing when you need a useful answer during a call and a dependable place to return afterward. See how Coach works.
Do not assume Dictaria includes the same analytics, scheduled workflows, or native integrations. Its MCP connection is an option for authorized AI-agent access, not a blanket promise that every existing automation can be copied unchanged.
What to test before switching
Use a short, representative meeting you have permission to record. Keep the source material consistent so you can compare the work each tool helps you finish.
- List every destination for one meeting’s notes. Remove any destination without a clear reader or next action.
- Test a routing rule with a meeting that should remain private and inspect the resulting permissions.
- Find a previous decision in a personal workspace and compare the effort with searching distributed copies.
Making the choice
Choose an automation product when distribution is the job. Try Dictaria when guidance and personal recall are the main reasons you want a meeting assistant.
