Frequently Asked Questions

Does MeetGeek join meetings as a visible bot, and can that be turned off?

MeetGeek offers both bot and no-bot recording modes on every plan, including the free Basic plan. In Bot/Agent Recording mode, a named participant joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams — all attendees can see it listed in the call. In No-bot Recording mode, you capture the meeting through the Chrome Extension or the Desktop App, which records locally in-browser without sending any participant into the call. This is particularly useful for external client calls where a visible bot may feel intrusive. For in-person or offline meetings, the iOS and Android mobile apps record directly through the phone microphone — no bot involved at all. The Business plan adds the ability to customize the notetaker's display name for teams who prefer a branded presence.

What does MeetGeek's free Basic plan actually include, and what are its real limits?

The Basic plan is free forever with no credit card required. It includes 3 hours of transcription per month, 3 months of transcript storage, and 1 month of audio storage, with a 2-hour recording limit per individual meeting. Despite being free, it includes a substantial set of features: bot and no-bot recording, mobile apps, transcription in 100+ languages, unlimited AI summaries (with AI Next Steps, Topics Timeline, Copilot Mode, and AI highlights), Meeting Analytics (sentiment and engagement scoring), global search, AI Chat, folders and tags, API and MCP access, Voice Agents, and full SOC2/GDPR/HIPAA compliance. The main practical limits are the 3-hour monthly transcription cap, which is exhausted quickly by teams with frequent meetings, and the absence of integrations (Zapier, Make, n8n, and all third-party app connections require the Pro plan at $15.99/user/month monthly or $9.99/user/month annually).

Which plan is needed to get CRM integration and Sales Mode AI features?

CRM integrations and Sales Mode AI features both start at the Pro plan — $15.99 per user per month billed monthly, or $9.99 per user per month billed annually. The Pro plan unlocks unlimited integrations via Zapier, Make, and n8n, enabling connections to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and other CRM platforms. It also activates the full Sales Mode AI suite: objection detection, competitor detection, win/loss signals, coachability scores, pipeline intelligence, and CRM Updates that automatically post call data back to the CRM after each meeting. Individual multi-meeting analytics — trends across your own calls over time — also start at Pro. The Basic plan has no third-party integrations at all, which means HubSpot, Salesforce, and Slack automation require upgrading.

How does MeetGeek handle ad hoc or unscheduled meetings that aren't on the calendar?

MeetGeek's bot auto-joins meetings it detects through your connected Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. For unscheduled or spontaneous meetings — started directly in Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams without a calendar event — the bot will not join automatically. You need to manually invite the MeetGeek bot to those calls or start recording via the Chrome Extension or Desktop App, both of which work for any in-browser meeting regardless of whether it appeared on a calendar. Reviewers on G2 and Product Hunt consistently flag this as something to plan for: the "set it and forget it" workflow works reliably for scheduled meetings, but ad hoc calls require a manual step unless you use no-bot recording as your default mode.

What makes the Business plan worth upgrading from Pro, and which teams need it?

The core reason to upgrade from Pro ($15.99/user/month monthly, $9.99 annually) to Business ($27/user/month monthly, $17 annually) is shared team intelligence rather than individual productivity. Business adds Team & Group spaces where meeting content is automatically organized by team, AI-based team auto-sharing that routes the right meetings to the right teammates without manual effort, and Team Meeting Analytics that gives managers visibility across the whole team's calls — not just their own. Business also adds HD Video Recording (Pro has no video storage at all), unlimited AI Chat with tools and Unlimited Agentic Workflows (Pro has a cap), AI follow-up emails, Meeting Comments on transcripts, Private Meetings by default, Recording consent notifications, and Branding & Custom Summaries for white-labelled outputs. Teams where a manager needs to review sales rep calls, HR needs to share interview recordings with hiring panels, or customer success wants a searchable library of client interactions will find these features essential.

How does MeetGeek compare to Fathom for teams that want a generous free tier?

Fathom's free plan is unlimited on recordings, transcription minutes, and storage — which is rare — making it a very strong no-cost option for individuals or small teams with high meeting volume. MeetGeek's Basic plan caps transcription at 3 hours per month and storage at 3 months for transcripts, which is more restrictive. However, MeetGeek's free tier includes features Fathom's does not: Meeting Analytics (sentiment analysis, engagement scoring, 100+ KPIs), global search across all meetings, API and MCP access, mobile apps for offline recording, audio/video file uploads, and the full suite of AI summary formats. Fathom is narrowly focused on fast, clean per-meeting summaries. MeetGeek is broader — it treats every meeting as a data point in a larger intelligence layer. For an individual who just wants frictionless note-taking, Fathom's free plan is more generous. For a team or individual who also wants analytics, offline recording, integrations, and API access from day one, MeetGeek's Basic plan offers more capability despite the transcription cap.

Does MeetGeek record meetings participants didn't consent to, and how is compliance handled?

MeetGeek explicitly states it does not encourage incognito recording and builds participant awareness into its recording flow. When the bot joins a call, all participants are automatically notified that the meeting is being recorded. On the Business plan, Recording consent notifications take this further — they request explicit participant approval with consent tracking before recording begins, which is relevant for regulated industries or jurisdictions with two-party consent requirements. Data security covers all plans: SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant (BAA available on request), GDPR and CCPA compliant, with EU or US data storage selectable by the user. Zero-data-training is enforced across all plans — MeetGeek does not use customer meeting data to train its AI models. When a user deauthorizes the app, all associated data including meetings, transcripts, and profiles is deleted automatically.

What are the most common real-world complaints about MeetGeek from users?

The most consistently reported issues across G2, Product Hunt, and AppSumo fall into four areas. First, transcription accuracy in challenging conditions: accuracy drops with strong accents, heavy background noise, or multiple people talking simultaneously — a limitation shared across all AI transcription tools, not unique to MeetGeek. Second, the bot joining unwanted meetings: users on earlier versions reported the bot auto-joining calls they did not intend to record after updates changed default behavior; this is configurable through exclusion rules (Business plan) and the Bot/Agent settings. Third, summary quality on nuanced or technical conversations: several G2 reviewers noted that highly technical or context-specific discussions sometimes produce summaries that miss important detail — a reason the Pro plan's custom summary templates and Copilot Mode exist. Fourth, limited transcription minutes at lower tiers: at 3 hours per month on Basic and 20 hours per month on Pro ($15.99/user/month monthly, $9.99 annually), teams with heavy meeting schedules need to plan for either the Business plan's unlimited transcription at $27/user/month monthly ($17 annually) or the $0.5/extra hour overage on Pro.
