What is Avoma?

Avoma helps teams record and transcribe meetings and calls while identifying participants. It summarizes decisions and follow-up actions, synchronizes notes with a CRM, analyzes sales conversations and shares meeting clips.

According to its documentation, Avoma lets you:

  • record meetings and calls
  • transcribe conversations while identifying participants
  • summarize decisions and follow-up actions
  • synchronize notes with a CRM
  • analyze sales conversations
  • share meeting clips

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).

A public API lets you call it from your own programs or an automation tool, and plug it into an AI agent.
