The shortlist

5 notetakers, ranked for Google Meet

MeetingJuice logo

MeetingJuice

Best for Google Meet#1

Built only for Google Meet. Reads the native caption stream (no audio recording), installs from the official Workspace Marketplace, and can capture without a bot via the Chrome extension. 13 AI actions, custom templates, no training on your data. Free plan with 10 meetings/month.

Otter.ai logo

Otter.ai

Best multi-platform veteran#2

A general-purpose notetaker covering Meet, Zoom and Teams with a strong mobile app. Great if your calls are spread across platforms, but it retrofits Meet rather than being built for it.

Fireflies.ai logo

Fireflies.ai

Best for CRM-heavy sales teams#3

Bot-based notetaker with deep CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot) across many platforms. Powerful for revenue teams, but a bot joins every call.

Tactiq logo

Tactiq

Best lightweight live transcript#4

A Chrome extension focused on live transcripts for Meet, Zoom and Teams. Simple and fast, with a more limited AI/summary feature set than dedicated platforms.

tl;dv logo

tl;dv

Best for recorded video clips#5

Recording-first tool that shines at video highlights and clip sharing across platforms. Less Meet-specific; relies on a recording bot.

How we picked

Our methodology

We scored each tool on six criteria: how natively it works with Google Meet, whether a bot must join the call, privacy practices (especially training on your data), the depth of AI summaries and action items, language coverage, and price. We link to each tool’s own comparison so you can verify the details: vs Otter and vs Fireflies.

FAQ
