An Avoma alternative for people who want meeting notes on their phone

What Avoma costs in 2026

Avoma prices every plan per "recorder" seat. Each person whose meetings get recorded needs a paid seat of their own. There is no free plan. New accounts get a 14-day trial of the Organization plan with no credit card, and when the trial ends the account becomes a free Viewer that cannot record.

Startup is $19 per seat per month billed annually, which is $228 a year, or $29 billed month to month. It allows up to 25 paid seats. Organization is $39 per seat per month billed monthly and $29 billed annually in Avoma's compare table, for up to 100 seats. Enterprise is $39 per seat per month, billed annually only, with a minimum of 10 paid seats. The smallest Enterprise contract is therefore $4,680 a year.

Some features are sold on top of the seat. Conversation Intelligence and Revenue Intelligence are each $29 per seat per month on annual billing, or $35 monthly. Lead Router is $19 per seat per month annually, or $25 monthly.

Noter AI is $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year. The yearly plan is about 42% cheaper than paying monthly. It is one plan with every feature in it. There are no add-ons to buy and no AI credits to count. You can try the app on the free plan, and every subscription starts with a free trial.

What Avoma actually is

Avoma calls itself an "all-in-one AI platform". Meeting notes are one part of it. The same product also covers scheduling, call coaching and revenue forecasting, and its pages speak to sales leaders, account executives, customer success teams and RevOps.

It runs on many surfaces: a web app, iPhone and Android apps, desktop apps for Mac (macOS 12 or later) and Windows 10 or later, and a Chrome extension.

Most recording happens through a bot. The Avoma bot joins Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and GoToMeeting. There is a bot-free option, but it depends on the meeting tool's own cloud recording. Google Meet needs a Workspace edition that allows recording, and Zoom needs a paid Zoom licence. The bot leaves a call after 10 to 15 minutes of silence.

For meetings in a room, Avoma's help centre says the mobile app can record in person; the app guides describe uploads and playback. Uploaded files (mp4, avi, mkv, mp3 or wav) are capped at 5 per user per month on Startup, 10 on Organization and 20 on Enterprise. Phone calls come in through dialer integrations such as RingCentral, Aircall, Kixie, the HubSpot dialer, Zoom Phone and GoTo Connect, and not from the phone app.

Avoma's help centre lists over 60 languages and dialects for transcription. Translation of transcripts and notes starts on the Organization plan. Transcription minutes and storage are unlimited on every plan. AI notes can be regenerated 2 times per meeting with the standard templates, or 4 times with custom ones. Notes save automatically to Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive and Copper.

Why people look for an Avoma alternative

• The price is per seat. One Startup seat is $228 a year on annual billing and $348 a year on monthly billing. Every extra person who records adds the same amount again.
• There is no free plan. After the 14-day trial the account turns into a Viewer that cannot record, so the choice is to pay or stop recording.
• Security features sit behind 10 seats. HIPAA support, SSO and data retention policies are Enterprise only, and Enterprise starts at $4,680 a year.
• Uploads are counted. Startup allows 5 uploaded recordings per user per month. If you record on another device and upload later, a busy week can use the month's allowance.
• Phone calls need a dialer. Avoma captures calls through RingCentral, Aircall and similar services. Someone who just calls a client from their own phone has no dialer to connect.
• Transcript downloads are .vtt or .txt. Noter AI exports the transcript and summary to PDF, Word or plain text, ready to attach to an email.

Noter AI vs Avoma

Noter AI is a phone app. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, without a web or desktop version. For most people reading this, the phone is the device that is already in the room, so that is where the recording starts.

In a room, tap record and put the phone on the table. Recording carries on in the background while you use other apps, and you can start it from Control Center, a home screen widget, Siri or the Action button. Nothing joins the meeting, so there is no bot for a client to ask about. If most of your meetings are face to face, see the best apps to record in-person meetings.

On a call from your own phone, put it on speaker and record the same way. No dialer account is needed. The steps and the legal points to check are in can an AI note taker record a phone call.

On a video call, the Noter bot joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex. Paste the meeting link, or sync a Google or Outlook calendar and it picks up the calls on its own. You can also import an audio file from any app through the share sheet.

About 2 minutes after a 1-hour meeting ends, you get a transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. Tap any line to hear that moment. The summary comes in six styles: minutes of meeting, key bullet points, an email, a to-do list, a formal report, or your own instruction. Action items are pulled out with names attached, and you can chat with one note or with all of them, for example "what did we promise the client in June?"

Languages work the same way on the one plan. Noter AI transcribes 60+ languages and detects them automatically. When a speaker switches from Arabic to English mid-sentence, the language is tagged word by word, so both halves stay in the transcript. Transcripts translate into 46 languages with speaker labels and timestamps kept, and the summary arrives in the meeting's language or the one you pick. Audio is processed in the cloud, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used to train AI models.

Noter AI is on the App Store and Google Play, rated 4.8 out of 5.

Which one to install

Install Noter AI if one of these describes you:

• You pay for yourself. $69.99 a year covers every feature, against $228 for one Avoma Startup seat.
• Your meetings happen in a room or on your phone. One tap records a table meeting, a site visit or a call on speaker.
• You handle client calls on your own, as a founder, consultant or customer success manager, and want notes and action items without a team platform around them.
• Your meetings mix languages. Noter AI detects 60+ languages and keeps both halves of a sentence that switches between them.
• Stay on Avoma if your sales team needs notes saved automatically into Salesforce or HubSpot and call coaching across every rep.
