Common questions
No. Gladia has no mobile app and no simple interface — you need to write code to send audio to its API. It's not designed for everyday phone users.
Yes, if you have at least 5-10 meetings per month and want to save time on note-taking. The auto-join and search features can pay for themselves in one saved hour.
Gladia is better if you want to build a custom system that processes calls in real time. MeetSummary is better if you just want to upload call recordings and get summaries without coding.
MeetSummary integrates directly with your calendar and can auto-join Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. Gladia does not integrate with any meeting platform — you'd have to build that yourself.
Yes, Gladia offers 10 free hours of transcription. That's generous for testing, but after that you must contact sales for pricing, which can be unpredictable.
MeetSummary wins for everyday users who want meeting notes without coding; Gladia is a developer tool for real-time transcription.
If you're a regular person who wants to save time on meetings, go with MeetSummary — it's easy to set up, works with your calendar, and gives you clean summaries. Gladia is powerful but only if you're comfortable writing code and building your own interface.
