The panel's verdict
tl;dv is an AI meeting recorder and notetaker from tldx Solutions GmbH of Aachen, scored by the bench strongest on integrations and workflow at 7-8 and steady at 7 on capture and transcription and on summaries and knowledge: bot-free recording across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack, WhatsApp and Discord, real-time transcription in more than thirty languages including German, structured minutes with assignable action items, a native HubSpot connector with per-field prompt mapping, and a documented REST API, webhooks and an MCP server — the API labels itself alpha. Weakest is consent and co-determination at a uniform 4: the terms put collecting every participant's consent on the recording user, and the judges found no public information on how guests are notified, how a participant can opt out, or on works-agreement and DPIA support. The judges split by a single point on sovereignty 7-8, data control and administration 6-7 and pricing transparency 6-7: lower sovereignty marks reflect the US-selectable AI hosting region and unstated transcription-provider locations, lower data-control marks the fixed retention rule, and lower pricing marks the contact-us-only Enterprise tier.
Speaks for it
- Bot-free recording covers Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp and Discord, with a desktop app for other platforms and upload of audio and video files.
- Minutes are organized by topic with built-in and custom templates, action items assignable to team members, and a searchable library with an Ask-AI agent over the whole transcript archive.
- A native HubSpot connector maps meeting content to CRM fields through a prompt per field and can keep internal calls out of the CRM, alongside a documented REST API, webhooks and an MCP server.
- The contracting entity is tldx Solutions GmbH of Aachen under German law, with primary processing in the EEA on named infrastructure and a published subprocessor list, data processing agreement and standard contractual clauses.
- Customer content is contractually excluded from AI model training, metadata shared with Anthropic is anonymized, and AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, single sign-on with SCIM provisioning and Enterprise activity logs are stated.
Held against it
- The terms put collecting every participant's consent on the recording user, and we found no public information on how external guests are notified or how a participant can opt out.
- Published retention is a fixed rule — three months for free users and until account deletion for paying users — and we found no public information on centrally configurable retention periods or on discarding audio after transcription.
- The captured pages give different figures for the SOC 2 attestation, showing Type I on one page and Type II on another.
- The AI hosting region is selectable between Europe and the US, and we found no public information on where the transcription providers AssemblyAI and ElevenLabs process.
- The REST API declares itself version alpha with no sandbox yet, the Enterprise tier is "Contact us" only, and we found no public information on monthly-billing prices or VAT treatment.
Best for
- Your team records on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams and wants bot-free capture that also works on Slack, WhatsApp and Discord, with transcription in German among more than thirty languages.
- Your sales team works in HubSpot and wants each call matched to the right record with fields filled from a prompt per field, minutes syncing a minute or two after the call.
- You want to build custom workflows on a documented REST API with webhooks and an MCP server.
- You want a German-contracted vendor with primary processing in the EEA, a published subprocessor list, a data processing agreement and standard contractual clauses.
Avoid if
- You are introducing recording under co-determination and need documented guest notice, a participant opt-out, works-agreement material or DPIA support — we found no public information on these.
- You need centrally configurable retention periods or audio discarded after transcription — published retention is a fixed vendor rule.
- You must rule out US processing — the AI hosting region is selectable between Europe and the US, and the published subprocessor list names the transcription providers and others without stating their locations.
- You need a costed enterprise deployment up front — Enterprise is priced "Contact us" only and we found no public information on monthly-billing prices, minimum seats or VAT treatment.

How this is scored
How the conversation gets in and how faithfully it is written down: a bot that joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Webex, botless capture from a desktop or mobile app, in-person meetings and phone calls, file upload, live transcription, speaker identification and names, the languages supported with German stated, meetings that switch language, custom vocabulary for names and jargon, timestamps linked to the recording, and editing of the transcript.
0 — Does not record or transcribe meetings; a note template or agenda tool without capture.
3 — A bot that joins one or two conferencing tools and produces a transcript; languages, speaker names, in-person capture and accuracy are basic or not described.
5 — A bot for Zoom, Teams and Google Meet, a desktop or mobile app for in-person meetings, file upload, speaker identification, German among the supported languages, timestamps linked to the recording, and an editable transcript.
8 — Botless capture documented next to the bot, Webex and phone or dialer calls, live transcription, mixed-language meetings handled, custom vocabulary, speaker names learned across meetings, and the transcription engine or its accuracy per language stated.
10 — Capture a regulated team relies on: every channel above with accuracy published per language and method, dialects and specialist vocabulary documented, on-device or customer-hosted transcription as an option, and how errors are corrected and fed back stated.
The Management Consultant
Botless capture is documented across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack, WhatsApp and Discord, with a desktop app that records calls on any other platform and file import in nine audio and video formats; German is named among over thirty languages, transcription runs in real time with automatic speaker recognition and a stated accuracy above ninety percent, and the transcription providers appear in the published subprocessor list. For my practice the gaps matter: we found no public information on capturing an in-person workshop without a laptop on the table, on phone or dialer calls, or on accuracy stated per language, and the custom vocabulary I would need for client names and jargon sits behind the Business tier. 1 3 6 7 8 13 14 15 18
The Sales Team Lead
Botless capture is documented next to the classic bot for Zoom, Teams and Meet, a desktop app records calls on any other platform, and uploads of common audio and video formats are supported. Real-time transcription with speaker identification, German among thirty-plus languages, custom vocabulary on Business and a stated accuracy over ninety percent are public; I found no public information on Webex, phone calls, mixed-language meetings or accuracy per language. 2 3 6 7 8 15 16 18
The Works Council Chair
Recording covers Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, alongside a bot-free capture that also works on Slack, WhatsApp and Discord, a desktop app for calls on any other platform, and upload of audio and video files; transcription is real-time with automatic speaker recognition, German is among more than thirty languages, custom vocabulary sits on the Business plan, and an accuracy above 90% is stated. The transcription providers appear only in the privacy policy's subcontractor list. We found no public information on Webex, on phone or dialer calls, or on meetings that switch language. 2 6 7 8 15 16 18
The Data Protection Officer
Bot-free recording across Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams is documented, with a desktop app for any other platform, real-time transcription with speaker recognition, custom vocabulary on the Business tier, audio and video import and German among more than thirty languages; the subprocessor list names AssemblyAI and ElevenLabs for transcription and the vendor states over 90 percent accuracy overall. We found no public information on Webex or phone capture, mixed-language meetings, or accuracy broken down per language. 7 18 3 8 16 13 15 6
The IT Lead
Botless capture is documented across Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, WhatsApp and Discord, with a desktop app that records calls on any other platform, real-time transcription with speaker tagging in 30+ languages including German, custom vocabulary on the Business tier, and a stated accuracy figure of over 90 percent plus file import formats up to 2 GiB. For a regulated rollout I note we found no public information on Webex, phone or dialer capture, mixed-language meetings, or accuracy stated per language. 7 18 16 15 8 6 14
The Skeptic
Botless capture sits next to the bot story — Zoom, Meet and Teams plus Slack, WhatsApp and Discord, and a desktop app claiming any other platform — with real-time transcription, thirty-plus languages including German, speaker recognition, file upload up to 2 GiB and custom vocabulary on Business. But the accuracy claim is a flat "over 90%" with no per-language figure, and we found no public information on Webex, phone or dialer calls or mixed-language meetings. The transcription engines surface only in the privacy policy's subcontractor list (AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs), not as a product statement with accuracy per language. 7 18 15 16 6 8 13
Summaries, action items & meeting knowledge
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the tool makes of the transcript: summaries and minutes by meeting type with editable templates, decisions and action items with owners and due dates, summaries in the meeting's language or a chosen one, follow-up emails, clips and highlights, search across all meetings, questions answered over the archive with citations back to the transcript passage, shared team folders or channels, and the minutes exported to Word, PDF or a wiki.
0 — No summaries of any kind; only the raw transcript or recording.
3 — One generic summary per meeting; templates, action items, search across meetings and citations are basic or not described.
5 — Summaries with templates per meeting type, action items and decisions extracted, the summary language selectable with German available, search across meetings, questions answered over one or several meetings, and sharing or export of the minutes.
8 — Custom templates per team, action items with owners pushed to task tools, answers that cite and link the transcript passage they rest on, topic or keyword tracking across meetings, team libraries with permissions, and the AI models used for summaries named.
10 — Meeting knowledge a company can audit: every generated statement traceable to its source passage, hallucination handling and human review documented, summary quality by language stated, and the archive queryable through an API or MCP server with the same permissions as in the app.
The Management Consultant
The minutes work roughly as I need them: built-in and custom templates applied per meeting or automated by rules, decisions, objections and next steps captured with action items assignable to named colleagues, everything organized by topic and fully searchable, an assistant that answers questions over the entire transcript library, a one-prompt summary of a whole week, and minutes auto-sent to participants when the call ends; the generative-AI partner is named. We found no public information on answers citing the transcript passage they rest on, on team libraries with permissions, or on export of the minutes to Word or PDF. 2 3 8 15 16
The Sales Team Lead
Minutes come grouped by topic with summaries, decisions, objections and next steps, action items assignable to named team members, built-in and custom templates, week-at-a-time multi-meeting summaries, clips, a searchable library, and the AI provider behind them is named. Minutes can be auto-sent to all participants when the call ends, but for a drafted follow-up email, answers that cite the transcript passage, and export to Word, PDF or a wiki I found no public information. 3 8 9 14 15 16
The Works Council Chair
Minutes are organized by topic with built-in and custom templates applied per meeting or by rule, action items can be assigned to team members, decisions and next steps are extracted, topic trackers and keyword alerts run across meetings, notes are fully searchable, and an ask-AI works over the whole transcript library, with Anthropic named as the model partner. Minutes can auto-send to all participants when a call ends — a default we would insist is off under a works agreement. We found no public information on answers that cite and link the transcript passage they rest on, on summary quality by language, or on hallucination handling and human review. 3 8 15 16 20
The Data Protection Officer
Structured minutes with summaries, action items, objections and decisions grouped by topic, built-in and custom templates, action items assigned and pushed to Jira, Asana and ClickUp, custom topic trackers, week-wide multi-meeting summaries, searchable minutes and an Ask-AI agent over the transcript library are all documented, and Anthropic is named as the generative provider. We found no public information on answers that cite and link the source transcript passage, on summary quality by language, or on export of the minutes to Word, PDF or a wiki. 3 16 8 15 9 5
The IT Lead
Structured minutes with built-in and custom templates, decisions and action items assignable to team members, auto-send to participants after the call, clips cut from transcript highlights, whole-week multi-meeting summaries, topic trackers, full search and an Ask-AI agent over the transcript library, with Anthropic named as the AI partner. We found no public information on answers citing the transcript passage they rest on, and Word or PDF export of the minutes is not documented. 3 16 15 2 13 8
The Skeptic
Custom templates with rules per meeting type, action items assigned to team members and pushed to Asana, ClickUp and Jira, topic trackers, clips and a whole week summarized at once are documented, and the Anthropic partnership names the model behind the summaries. My worry: nothing captured shows Ask AI answers citing or linking the transcript passage they rest on, and we found no public information on hallucination handling, human review or summary quality by language. Search across the library and export to Markdown via the API are there, so this sits just under the auditable level. 3 16 8 15 6 20
Integrations, API & workflow
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the notes reach the place where work happens: calendar connection with rules for which meetings are recorded, CRM fields filled from the call (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics), project and task tools, Slack and Microsoft Teams channels, Notion, Confluence and SharePoint, Zapier, Make or n8n, a documented REST API and webhooks, an MCP server for AI assistants, and browser extensions and native apps.
0 — No integrations and no export; the notes stay in the app.
3 — A calendar connection and an email or Slack summary; CRM, API and task tools are basic or not described.
5 — Google and Microsoft calendars, a native CRM integration (HubSpot or Salesforce), Slack or Teams, a task or wiki tool, Zapier or Make, and a documented API or webhooks.
8 — CRM field mapping per meeting type, several CRMs including Microsoft Dynamics or Pipedrive, a full REST API with webhooks and reference documentation, an MCP server, SharePoint or Confluence export, and recording rules per calendar or meeting type.
10 — An integration layer a company builds on: every object reachable by API with rate limits and versioning stated, granular OAuth scopes, data residency kept across integrations, and the integrations administered centrally with logs.
The Management Consultant
The notes reach where the work happens: a documented REST API with a downloadable OpenAPI specification, webhooks at user, team and organization level, an MCP server for AI assistants, Zapier, and native connectors into HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive with field mapping driven by a prompt per field; recording follows rules, with auto-join from Google or Outlook calendar, an internal-versus-external meeting filter, and conditions that keep internal calls out of the CRM. We found no public information on SharePoint or Confluence export, and the HubSpot mapping is documented as covering only text and multi-select fields at the moment. 5 6 7 17 18
The Sales Team Lead
The native HubSpot connector matches each call to the right record by calendar email, updates contacts, deals and companies, and fills the HubSpot properties you choose with a prompt per field, with conditions to keep internal calls out of the CRM and syncing a minute or two after the call. A documented REST API with webhooks, an MCP server, Zapier, Google and Outlook calendars, and task tools like Jira and Asana sit alongside it. I found no public information on Microsoft Dynamics, SharePoint or Confluence export, or API rate limits. 5 6 17 18
The Works Council Chair
Google and Outlook calendars drive auto-join with recording configurable per user or team; the native HubSpot connector maps meeting content to CRM fields through per-field prompts and can keep internal calls out of the CRM, alongside Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho and Greenhouse; task and wiki tools (Asana, ClickUp, Jira, Notion), Slack, Box and Dropbox, Zapier, and an alpha-stage REST API with an OpenAPI specification, webhooks at user, team and organization level, and an MCP server are documented. Organization-wide integrations and automations, plus organization activity logs, sit in the Enterprise plan. We found no public information on Microsoft Dynamics or on SharePoint and Confluence export. 5 6 8 17 18
The Data Protection Officer
Google Calendar and Outlook with auto-join rules, a native HubSpot connector with per-field prompt mapping and internal/external conditions, further CRM connectors including Pipedrive and Salesforce, task tools, Slack and Notion, Zapier, webhooks and an MCP server are all evidenced alongside a REST API with an OpenAPI specification. The API is labelled version one alpha with no sandbox and meetings limited to import so far, and we found no public information on SharePoint or Confluence export. 17 18 5 16 6
The IT Lead
A native HubSpot connector with per-field prompt mapping and conditions keeping internal calls out of the CRM, further CRMs including Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho, calendar-driven recording rules for Google and Outlook, a documented REST API with webhooks, an OpenAPI spec and an MCP server, plus Zapier and task tools like Jira and Asana. As a Microsoft shop I have to flag that we found no public information on SharePoint, Confluence or Microsoft Dynamics connections, and the captured API documentation marks the current version as alpha with no sandbox yet. 18 6 17 16 5
The Skeptic
A documented REST API with a downloadable OpenAPI specification, webhooks at user, team and organization scope with named triggers, an MCP server, Zapier, and a native HubSpot connector with prompt-per-field mapping and conditions keeping internal calls out of the CRM — that is a workflow layer a buyer can build on, with Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zoho, Greenhouse and calendar-driven recording rules alongside. My reservations: the API declares itself version alpha with no sandbox, organization-wide automation sits behind Enterprise, and we found no public information on SharePoint or Confluence export. 6 18 5 17 7 16
Consent, participant rights & works council
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether every person in the meeting knows and can decide, and whether the tool can be introduced under German co-determination: a recording notice to all participants including external guests, consent or opt-out before the recording starts, a visible bot or a stated notice for botless capture, rules for when the assistant joins automatically, stopping and deleting a recording on request, per-person analytics (talk time, sentiment, engagement scores) off by default or switchable per organisation, material or a template for a works agreement (Betriebsvereinbarung, § 87 (1) no. 6 BetrVG), and support for a data protection impact assessment.
0 — Built to record people without their knowledge, or sells covert recording or individual performance scoring as a feature.
3 — A general privacy statement and a bot that appears in the participant list; notices to guests, opt-out, per-person analytics and works councils are basic or not described.
5 — A recording notice to participants by chat message, email or the bot's name, a way for a participant to stop the recording or opt out, admin rules for when the assistant joins, recordings deletable on request, and per-person analytics described with how to switch them off.
8 — Consent collected before recording starts for external participants, per-person analytics off by default or switchable per organisation, botless capture with its notice method documented, a works-council information pack or works-agreement template published, DPIA support, and the EU AI Act classification stated.
10 — Co-determination built into the product: every analytic and its granularity documented for the works council, consent and opt-out logged per participant, configuration changes logged, minimum group sizes for any team statistics, and references of works-council-approved rollouts published.
The Management Consultant
The terms place the duty of collecting participant consent squarely on the recording user, while an enterprise governance page promises automated consent collection under the GDPR and other regimes without describing what a participant actually sees or how an external guest could opt out; admin rules for when the assistant auto-joins, configurable per user or per team, and the full set of GDPR rights including erasure are documented. For a German rollout I found no public information on the notice method for botless capture, on per-person analytics and their defaults, on a works-agreement template, DPIA support, or an EU AI Act classification. 12 13 16 17 19
The Sales Team Lead
Automated consent collection is marketed for GDPR and other regimes, and admin rules exist for when the assistant joins and records, per user or per team. The terms place collecting every participant's consent squarely on the customer, and I found no public information on how external guests are notified, a participant opt-out, per-person analytics and how to switch them off, a works-agreement template, or DPIA and EU AI Act classification. 12 13 16 17 19
The Works Council Chair
Consent collection is offered "on auto-pilot" under GDPR and other regimes, auto-join and auto-recording are configurable per user or per team, and the privacy policy grants opposition and erasure — but the terms put collecting every participant's consent on the recording user, and we found no public information on how participants are notified, whether someone can stop or opt out of a running recording, or on talk-time, sentiment or engagement figures and an off-switch for them. Nothing published supports a works agreement or a data protection impact assessment. The documented sales-coaching and AI playbook-monitoring modules work on individual meeting recordings and would need close examination in co-determination talks. 8 12 13 16 19
The Data Protection Officer
The terms make the user responsible for collecting participant consent before recording starts, while the enterprise page advertises automated consent collection under GDPR and comparable regimes without documenting how a bot-free recording is announced to external guests or how a participant opts out. Auto-recording is configurable per user or team and erasure rights are listed. We found no public information on per-person analytics and their defaults, works-agreement material, DPIA support or the EU AI Act classification. 12 19 16 13
The IT Lead
Automated consent collection is marketed with GDPR among the supported regimes, auto-join settings and per-user or team auto-recording give me the admin rules, and erasure rights are stated in the privacy policy. The terms put collecting participants' consent squarely on the user, and we found no public information on a guest notice method for botless capture, a participant opt-out, per-person analytics, works-council material or a works agreement template — that is thin for introducing this under co-determination. 19 12 17 16 13
The Skeptic
The terms put consent squarely on the user — "you are responsible for collecting consents from all participants in the meeting prior to starting the recording" — while the enterprise governance page claims consent collection "on auto-pilot" under GDPR and other regimes without showing how it is collected, presented or logged. Auto-join and auto-recording rules per user or team and erasure on request are documented, and a no-profiling statement exists, but we found no public information on a guest notice method, a participant opt-out, per-person analytics with a switch-off, works-council material, DPIA support or an EU AI Act classification. 12 19 13 16 17
Retention, AI training & administration
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the employer can govern: retention periods and automatic deletion of recordings, transcripts and summaries, whether audio and video can be discarded after transcription, sharing defaults and link permissions, customer content excluded from model training by contract, the AI and transcription providers named with their region and their own retention, encryption, single sign-on (SAML), SCIM, roles and workspaces, admin policies on auto-recording and sharing, audit logs, export of the whole archive, and security certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
0 — No administration and no deletion; every user decides alone and recordings are kept indefinitely.
3 — Users can delete their own recordings and a security page exists; retention policies, model training, SSO and audit logs are basic or not described.
5 — Retention settings per workspace, customer content excluded from model training, team workspaces with roles, single sign-on, admin control over sharing and auto-recording, encryption at rest and in transit, and ISO 27001 or SOC 2 stated.
8 — Automatic deletion by policy with audio discardable after transcription, the AI and transcription subprocessors named with region and zero retention, SAML with SCIM, granular roles, audit logs, legal hold or export of the full archive, and certifications with their scope published.
10 — Governance an auditor accepts: every retention, sharing and recording policy enforceable centrally and logged, models run on the vendor's own or the customer's infrastructure as an option, audit logs exportable to a SIEM, and the deletion of every copy, including at subprocessors, documented.
The Management Consultant
The promise I need in writing is there at contract level: customer content including meeting recordings, transcripts and notes is not used to train or fine-tune any models, metadata shared with the AI partner is anonymized beforehand, data is AES-256 encrypted at rest and in transit, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001-certified data centers are stated, and SSO, SCIM provisioning and organization activity logs arrive at the top tier. Retention is published — three months for free users, until account deletion for paying users — but we found no public information on admin-configurable retention policies, discarding audio after transcription, or granular roles beyond the super admin. 8 12 13 19 20
The Sales Team Lead
Customer content excluded from AI training is stated repeatedly, single sign-on with SCIM provisioning, organization activity logs, a super-admin role, hosting-region choice, Enterprise privately hosted AI and archive export via API are documented, and SOC 2 Type II plus ISO 27001 data centers are public. Published retention is fixed at three months for free users and until account deletion for paying users, so I found no public information on configurable retention policies, discarding audio after transcription, or zero retention at the AI providers. 8 10 13 19 20
The Works Council Chair
Retention is stated as three months for free users and until account deletion for paying users, with the details referred to the help center; we found no public information on centrally configurable retention periods or on discarding audio after transcription. Strong points: the terms exclude customer content from AI model training, single sign-on with SCIM provisioning is offered, a super-admin role with organization activity logs sits in Enterprise, AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, ISO 27001-certified data centers and SOC 2 are stated, and the subprocessors are listed. The captured pages give different SOC 2 figures, showing Type I on one page and Type II on another, with the report available on request. 8 12 13 19 20
The Data Protection Officer
Customer content is contractually excluded from model training, a subprocessor list is published, recordings are kept three months for free users and until account deletion for paying users, AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit are stated, and SSO with SCIM, organization activity logs, a selectable processing region and privately hosted AI sit in the Enterprise tier. The captured pages give different figures for the SOC 2 type, and we found no public information on administrator-configurable retention periods, discarding audio after transcription, subprocessor zero-retention commitments, SAML specifically, or legal hold. 13 19 8 10 20 2
The IT Lead
SSO available to all users with SCIM provisioning, a super admin role with org-wide integrations and automations, organization activity logs and privately hosted AI on the Enterprise tier, a contractual statement that customer content trains no models, AES-256 encryption, and SOC 2 Type II plus ISO 27001 datacenter certifications. Retention is published only as fixed vendor terms — three months for free users, until account deletion for paying users — and we found no public information on centrally configurable retention policies, discarding audio after transcription, SAML specifics or legal hold. 19 8 13 20 10 6 12
The Skeptic
Customer content is excluded from model training in contract language, subprocessors are named with regions on the trust page, SSO with SCIM, a super-admin role, Enterprise activity logs, AES-256 at rest and SOC 2 are all documented. But retention is a fixed rule — free users three months, paying users until account deletion — rather than a centrally configurable policy, we found no public information on discarding audio after transcription, on deletion at subcontractors, or on legal hold, and the captured pages give different figures for the SOC 2 attestation (Type I on the governance page, Type II on the trust and security pages). 13 8 19 20 10 16
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where recordings, transcripts, summaries, voice profiles and account data are stored and processed, which language model and transcription providers read them and where, and who the other subprocessors are (hosting, email, support, analytics and payment tools). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. A conferencing platform outside Europe that the customer already uses is part of the meeting, not counted against the notetaker; where the notetaker stores and processes the conversation is.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (language models, transcription, email, support, payment) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors including the AI providers listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, with transcription and language models run in Europe by European operators, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Management Consultant
The contracting entity is a German GmbH in Aachen under German law with the BfDI named as supervisory authority; personal data is processed primarily in the EEA on named infrastructure — Google Cloud and Wasabi in Germany, Hetzner in Germany and Finland — and a subprocessor list naming the AI and transcription providers is published alongside a data processing agreement, standard contractual clauses and a selectable EU region for AI processing. The transcription providers' own regions are not stated and the top level of European-run models is not shown, so the chain is unusually well documented but not sovereign end to end. 10 11 13 20
The Sales Team Lead
The contracting entity is a German GmbH in Aachen under German law and venue, processing is stated to happen primarily in the EEA with named German data centers at Google Cloud, Wasabi and Hetzner, the subprocessor list including the AI and transcription providers is published, and a data processing agreement plus certifications are on the trust pages. Not every subprocessor's location is stated, and the AI region can be switched to the US with standard contractual clauses as the safeguard. 10 11 12 13 20
The Works Council Chair
The contracting entity is tldx Solutions GmbH of Aachen under German law with the Aachen courts as venue, processing and storage are primarily in the EEA on named German infrastructure (Google Cloud Germany, Wasabi Germany, Hetzner Germany and Finland), a data processing agreement and standard contractual clauses exist, and SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are stated. Anthropic receives only anonymized metadata and meeting content is processed in randomized chunks, with the AI hosting region selectable between Europe and the US — the US option is one a works agreement would have to lock to Europe.

The contracting entity is tldx Solutions GmbH of Aachen under German law with the BfDI as supervisory authority, personal data is processed primarily in the EEA on named Google Cloud, Hetzner and Wasabi infrastructure including locations in Germany, the AI region is selectable between the EU and the US with Anthropic models reached through Google Vertex AI in the EU, and standard contractual clauses plus a data processing agreement are stated. The subprocessor list names the transcription providers AssemblyAI and ElevenLabs, Stripe, Mixpanel, Intercom and others without stating their locations, and the metadata shared with Anthropic is anonymised while standard contractual clauses are the stated transfer safeguard. 11 12 13 10 9
The IT Lead
The contracting entity is tldx Solutions GmbH in Aachen under German law and venue, primary processing sits in the EEA on named Google Cloud, Hetzner and Wasabi infrastructure with locations given, and the published subprocessor list names the AI and transcription providers — Anthropic via Google Vertex AI hosted in the EU, plus AssemblyAI and ElevenLabs — alongside a data processing agreement, standard contractual clauses and SOC 2 and ISO 27001 statements. The AI hosting region is selectable between Europe and the US, and the transcription providers' own regions are not stated, so it stops short of fully sovereign. 13 10 11 12 20 9
The Skeptic
A German GmbH under German law with Aachen as venue, primary processing in the EEA, hosting named as Google Cloud, Hetzner and Wasabi with German locations, a published subcontractor list, a data processing agreement and standard contractual clauses — the chain is largely traceable, and Anthropic models can run via Google Vertex AI in the EU. It stops short of the top: the AI hosting region is customer-selectable between Europe and the US, Anthropic is not a European operator, and the subcontractor list names transcription (AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs), payment, support and analytics providers without stating where they process. 13 10 11 12 9
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per seat and tier, what counts as a seat (every invited user, only recording users), transcription minutes or credits included, storage limits, which features (CRM integrations, API access, SSO, custom retention, EU hosting, AI credits) cost extra, the free tier and its limits, monthly versus annual billing, minimum seats and VAT.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with seats, minutes or features is unclear.
5 — Tiers are public with their seat price and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (SSO, CRM integration, API, custom retention, EU hosting, minute or credit limits) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (seats, minutes, credits, storage), add-ons priced, what counts as a seat stated, overage handling stated, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given team size and meeting volume, with every add-on, overage and support fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Management Consultant
A buyer gets most of the way there: Free at €0, Pro at €18 per seat per month billed annually, Business at €29 per seat per month billed annually with no usage-based AI fees, annual billing advertised at up to 40% off, and the scaling rules published per tier — weekly recording caps of 40, 80 and 120, simultaneous-recording limits, the free tier's ten AI-note meetings and ten Ask AI queries, and a single-user account defining the seat. Enterprise is contact-us with optional usage-based pricing, and we found no public information on monthly billing figures, storage limits, VAT treatment or minimum term. 8 12
The Sales Team Lead
Every self-serve tier is priced publicly per seat with its weekly recording cap and simultaneous-recording limit, the free tier's AI limits are spelled out, a seat is defined as a single individual user, and hitting the cap blocks further recordings until the weekly allowance renews. Enterprise is quote-only, and I found no public information on monthly-billing prices, VAT treatment, minimum term, or the cost of SSO and the hosting-region choice. 6 8 12
The Works Council Chair
Free (€0), Pro at €18 per seat/month billed annually and Business at €29 per seat/month billed annually are public, each with a weekly recording allowance of 40, 80 or 120 recordings, simultaneous-recording limits, and a stated overage behaviour — recording stops until the weekly allowance renews; annual billing is advertised at up to 40% off and the free tier includes ten meetings with AI notes and ten ask-AI queries. For our size, however, only the Enterprise plan applies, priced as "Contact us", and we found no public information on monthly billing prices, VAT treatment, minimum seats or contract term. 8 12
The Data Protection Officer
The free tier at €0, Pro at €18 per seat/month billed annually and Business at €29 per seat/month billed annually are published with weekly recording caps of 40, 80 and 120, simultaneous-recording limits, free-tier AI quotas, an annual discount of up to 40 percent, and the terms define each account as one single user. Enterprise is contact-us, and we found no public information on monthly prices, VAT treatment, minimum term or seats, or overage and add-on fees such as the optional usage-based Enterprise pricing. 8 12
The IT Lead
Free, Pro at €18 per seat/month billed annually and Business at €29 per seat/month billed annually are public, each with weekly recording caps and simultaneous-recording limits, the free tier's ten AI-note meetings and ten Ask AI queries are stated, and API access by plan is documented. The Enterprise tier — where SSO at scale, SCIM, activity logs and privately hosted AI sit — is contact-us only, and we found no public information on monthly-billing prices, minimum seats or VAT treatment, so I cannot compute the real annual cost at four hundred users from public pages. 8 12 6 13
The Skeptic
Three tiers carry public seat prices — Free at €0, Pro €18 and Business €29 per seat/month billed annually — with weekly recording caps and simultaneous-recording limits published, AI-note and Ask AI quotas on the free tier, and a one-person-per-account definition of what a seat is. But "up to 40% off" annual billing is not a computable monthly-billed price, Enterprise is contact-us only, and we found no public information on VAT treatment, storage limits or add-on pricing. Fees are stated non-refundable and the weekly allowance renews weekly, which helps a buyer estimate — the gaps keep it mid-scale. 8 12 6

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 5 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Data processing agreement, Hosting location, Hosting options, Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
