We file it under Meeting assistants, the category of tools to transcribe and summarise meetings, and it also overlaps with sales and prospecting and speech to text. The category lists 16 verified tools on this site.
The publisher is Avoma, Inc., based in United States. The service launched in 2019, which gives it some track record.
Who is it for?
It is mostly useful to these profiles: sales teams, project managers, small business owners, and customer support. The need it covers is simple to state: transcribe and summarise meetings.
Avoma is a good candidate if:
- you want to try before paying
- you plan to connect it to your tools or automations through its API
- you also work from your phone
The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.
How much does Avoma cost?
Pricing model: freemium (limited free use, then paid). A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.
The first paid plan costs $19 per month (Startup, per user recording meetings, billed annually; USD 29 with monthly payment. Free accounts are limited to viewing and collaboration), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.
Per month, that is more expensive than the category median ($15 per month, based on tools with a published price).
To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.
Data and privacy
According to its privacy policy, data is processed in the United States.
For professional use, check that a data processing agreement (DPA) is offered, and do not send customers' personal data or confidential documents without one.
Exporting your content: yes (details on the official site). Being able to get your data back makes switching tools easier later.
Three habits apply to every AI tool:
- turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
- use a work account separate from your personal account
- review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it
Platforms, languages and API
Avoma runs on: web browser, iPhone and iPad, Android, browser extension, API, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
Interface languages: English.
A public API lets you call it from your own programs or an automation tool, and plug it into an AI agent.
