SwiftBOL compared with other AI transcription apps

Plenty of apps transcribe and summarize. Few leave the work done: SwiftBOL gives you the minutes with the decisions, action items with owners and the follow-up email, with an assistant that joins your video calls (or no bot at all), your data stored in the EU and prices in euros.

No card · 120 min of audio + 60 min of meeting bot free a month · No lock-in

How we're different

SwiftBOLWhat other apps usually offer
What each meeting leaves youMinutes with decisions, action items with owners and dates and the follow-up email, with 11 templates (sales, 1:1, project, interview…)Many stop at the transcript and a general summary
Assistant for Zoom, Meet and TeamsYes, even on the Free plan, and it says in the chat that it records (60 min a month free, 10 h on Standard, 50 h on Unlimited and 100 h per person on Business)Many meeting apps have one, often only on paid plans
Recording without a botYes: record the video call's tab in Chrome or Edge with nobody joining, telling the participants. On Business, a discreet bot with no picture as wellMany only record by adding a bot to the call
Board meeting minutesBoard or general meeting minutes with quorum, agenda, votes, resolutions and signatures, ready for WordThey usually give a free-text summary
Ask all your meetingsYes: ask one question and the AI answers from all your meetings and your team'sNot all have it, or only on business plans
Conversation analysisTalk time per person, turns, questions and the longest monologue; on sales calls, interest, objections and next stepMany keep it for pricier sales plans
IntegrationsSlack directly and, through Zapier or Make, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Asana, Trello and thousands more appsThe biggest have native integrations with many CRMs
In-person meetingsRecord on your phone or computer for up to 180 min straight, nothing to installMany work mainly inside the video call
LanguageDetects the language on its own and translates into 13 languages; site and app in 6 languagesMany are built for English first
PriceIn euros with VAT shown: Standard €9.99 + VAT a month (€12.09 incl. VAT), no lock-inMany charge in US dollars and add taxes at checkout
Your dataStored encrypted in the EU (Frankfurt), never used to train any AI and, if you want, the audio is deleted as soon as the minutes are readyMany store it outside the EU
Free plan120 min of audio a month, no card, recordings up to 180 minMany free plans cap the length of each recording

An indicative comparison with what AI transcription and note-taking apps usually offer, as of October 2026. Every tool is different and changes over time: the best test is uploading the same recording to both and comparing.

What SwiftBOL adds on top of transcription

Minutes and action items

Decisions, action items with owners and dates and the follow-up email, ready to send to your team or your client.

Sales call analysis

Is SwiftBOL right for you?

Choose SwiftBOL if…

  • You work in more than one language
  • You want the minutes, action items and follow-up email done, not just a transcript
  • You have in-person meetings as well as video calls
  • You want your data stored in the EU
  • You'd rather pay in euros with no lock-in

Another tool may fit you better if…

  • You need a native CRM integration, without going through Zapier or Make

  • You only want a verbatim transcript, with no summaries or minutes

Frequently asked questions

How is SwiftBOL different from other transcription apps?

It doesn't stop at the text: it gives you the minutes with the decisions, action items with owners and the follow-up email, analyses your sales calls and works just as well for an in-person meeting as for a video call, with an assistant that joins Zoom, Meet and Teams for you. It's priced in euros and stores your data in the EU. The best test is uploading the same recording to SwiftBOL and to the app you use now: the Free plan includes 120 minutes a month with no card.

Does SwiftBOL join my Zoom, Meet or Teams meetings automatically?

Yes, even on the Free plan: paste the meeting link or connect your Google Calendar, and the "SwiftBOL Notetaker" assistant joins under that name, posts in the chat that it is recording and leaves when the meeting ends. Free includes 60 assistant minutes a month, Standard 10 hours, Unlimited 50 and Business 100 per person. If you'd rather not add anyone to the call, record the video call's tab in Chrome or Edge, or upload the recording.

Can I move recordings from another app to SwiftBOL?

Yes: download the audio of your recordings (mp3, wav, m4a or mp4) and upload it to SwiftBOL. It's processed like any other upload, within your plan's hours.
