Meeting Bot as a Service

Meeting bot as a service (meeting BaaS) providers send recording bots into video meetings on your behalf via API. Instead of building your own bot infrastructure for Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, you call an API and get back recordings, transcripts, and structured meeting data. These are the tools that power AI notetakers, CRM call recording, and conversation intelligence products behind the scenes.

Skribby's range spans 30 transcription models and its low end is audio only; add $0.05/hr for video to match what Recall.ai includes as standard. Nylas's per-hour rate is overage after the hours bundled into each plan: Free includes 5 bot hours, Essentials ($15/mo) 10 hours then $0.80/hr, Pro ($49/mo) 70 hours then $0.70/hr, or $43/mo and $0.65/hr billed annually. Recall.ai also offers $0.25/hr on the first 10,000 hours for teams accepted into its startup program. MeetStream is $0.35/hr for the bot plus $0.10/hr for its own transcription, with volume and startup rates down to $0.25/hr on request. Vexa is $0.30/hr for the bot plus $0.20/hr for real-time transcription on its hosted API; the Apache 2.0 code is free to self-host. Attendee charges $0.50/hr after 5 free hours, with volume discounts down to $0.35/hr, and transcription runs on your own provider key (billed by that provider) or on free platform captions.
