Quick take

Skribby is the cheapest managed meeting bot API on the market. The 30% price advantage over Recall.ai is real, and the transcription model flexibility is a genuine differentiator. The trade-offs are equally real: fewer platforms, no compliance certifications, early-stage company risk, and no independent validation. For cost-sensitive projects that only need Zoom, Meet, and Teams, Skribby deserves a look. For anything requiring enterprise reliability or broader platform coverage, Recall.ai remains the default choice.

Overview

Skribby is a meeting bot API that competes on price. At $0.35 per hour for the bot plus transcription costs ranging from $0.04 to $0.35 per hour depending on the model, the total cost ($0.39-0.70/hr) undercuts Recall.ai's $0.65/hr. There are no monthly fees, no platform fees, and no contracts. You sign up, get 5 free hours, and start deploying bots. The API covers Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

Key strengths

Price is the headline. At $0.35/hr base, Skribby is 30% cheaper than Recall.ai before transcription. The transcription model flexibility is a genuine differentiator: instead of one built-in option, you choose from 10+ models (Whisper, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Soniox, Speechmatics, Rev AI, ElevenLabs) or bring your own API key. This matters because transcription quality and cost vary by use case, and being able to swap models without changing your recording infrastructure is valuable. Real-time transcription via WebSocket and structured JSON output with speaker diarization and confidence scores round out the developer experience.

Limitations

Platform coverage is the biggest gap: 3 platforms vs Recall.ai's 6. No Webex, no Slack Huddles, no GoTo Meeting. If your product needs those platforms, Skribby is not an option. The company is early-stage with no external funding, no public team page, and zero independent reviews on G2, Capterra, or TrustPilot. There are no enterprise compliance certifications (no SOC 2, no HIPAA, no ISO 27001). No desktop SDK or interactive agent features. If you need proven reliability at enterprise scale with compliance guarantees, Recall.ai is the safer bet.

Pricing breakdown

Base bot rate: $0.35/hr. Transcription is separate and varies by model. Cheapest: Whisper at approximately $0.04/hr ($0.39 total). Most expensive: ElevenLabs at $0.35/hr ($0.70 total). Mid-range: AssemblyAI at $0.20/hr ($0.55 total). BYOK option available to use your own transcription API keys at cost. 5 free hours on signup. No monthly fees, no contracts, no minimums. Volume discounts available on request.

Who should use Skribby

Early-stage startups and indie developers building meeting-powered features on Zoom, Meet, or Teams. Teams where cost sensitivity matters more than platform coverage or enterprise compliance. Developers who want transcription model flexibility. Not for enterprises that need SOC 2/HIPAA compliance, Webex support, or proven scale.
