MeetingBaaS vs Recall.ai
Two competitor APIs to record video-meetings at scale.
Why choose MeetingBaaS?
We offer a 99.5% SLA as a rock-solid guarantee from day one, and other advantages:
- Free trial: Get your API key and start processing hours of recordings for free.
- Lower pricing: $0.69 per hour, including transcription and calendar integration, out of the box.
- Immediately available: No need to talk to sales.
- On-prem available: If you're using AWS instances, the entire process takes 1 day.
Why stick with Recall:
Recall may be more suitable for several reasons:
- Established player: Pivoted into meeting bots in 2022, with hundreds of API clients.
- More platforms: Supports Slack huddles (by adding a new participant) and Webex.
- Security certifications: SOC-II and HIPAA compliant (MeetingBaaS in process).
