Quick verdict
Bluedot records Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls without a bot, from a Chrome extension or desktop app, or with a bot on paid plans, then transcribes them in 100+ languages and writes AI notes. Bluedot Free is a lifetime trial: all core features for your first 5 meetings, then you can only view and share. Bluedot Basic is $18 a month per user, or $14 a month billed yearly ($168 a year paid up front, by our calculation), for unlimited audio-only meetings of up to 1 hour each. Bluedot Pro is $25 a month, or $20 billed yearly ($240 a year), with video and no length limit. Bluedot Business is $39 a month, or $32 billed yearly ($384 a year), and adds CRM and ATS integrations and unlimited imports. Prices are per recording user and before tax.
Bluedot's terms say it does not use your content to train or improve AI models, and that you keep full ownership of recordings, transcripts and outputs. They give no explicit permission for commercial use, so we mark that as not verified. Downloads of recordings and transcripts have no plan limit stated.
Recording other people needs their consent, so tell everyone on a call before Bluedot records it. This verdict rests on what Bluedot documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Bot-free recordingOn every plan, Bluedot records Zoom, Google Meet and Teams from its browser extension or desktop app without a bot joining, and records in person on mobile. Paid plans can also use a bot.
- No training on your contentBluedot's terms say "Bluedot does not use Customer Content to train or improve artificial intelligence models", and that its vendors may not either. No setting is needed.
- Unlimited meetings on every paid planBasic, Pro and Business all record unlimited meetings with unlimited storage. Pro and Business add video and remove the recording length limit.
- Downloads on every planYou can download a recording (.webm, or MP4 according to a guide) and export a transcript as PDF or TXT, with no plan limit stated. Workspace admins can turn downloads off.
- Apps on many devicesBluedot runs on the web, as a Chrome extension, as Mac and Windows desktop apps, as iOS and Android apps and on Apple Watch, with an MCP connector for ChatGPT and Claude.
Limits
- Free is 5 meetings in totalPlan limit. Free is a lifetime trial of 5 recorded meetings. After that you can view and share recordings but not record or transcribe.
- Basic is audio only, 1 hourPlan limit. Basic records audio only, up to 1 hour per recording. Video, unlimited length, custom note templates and Zoom and Google Drive imports need Pro.
- Commercial use not verifiedNot verified. The terms say "You retain full ownership of your Customer Content, including recordings, transcripts, inputs, and outputs", but give no explicit permission for commercial use.
- Import limits not statedNot verified. Free, Basic and Pro can import audio and video files, but Bluedot states no limit; only Business lists "Unlimited audio/video imports".
- AI models and features per plan unclearNot verified. Bluedot does not name its AI models, and the help center does not say which AI features each paid plan gets beyond the pricing cards.
Based on what Bluedot documents for each plan, not on our tests.

What it documents for each use
- Business & Productivity Connect AI to the apps I already use · Get notes from my meetings
- Audio & Voice Transcribe recordings and files
A use is listed when at least one plan documents every feature a task needs. Answer quality is a separate question: see below.
Using it day to day
Bluedot runs on the web, as a Chrome extension, as Mac and Windows desktop apps, as iOS and Android apps and as an Apple Watch app. It also offers a ChatGPT plugin and a Claude connector through MCP. Slack, Notion, Zapier and Make connect on every plan; paid plans add Google Drive, webhooks and MCP, Pro adds Zoom cloud recording import, and Business adds HubSpot, Salesforce and Ashby.
The built-in AI chat answers questions about your recordings and can run across a collection of recordings; it is not a general assistant and has no documented web search. Collections group recordings and can have a default notes template. Paid plans write follow-up emails, and Pro and Business add custom note templates. Transcription covers 100+ languages on every plan. Bluedot offers a 3-day free trial of Pro through its mobile app.
Privacy, data and ads
Bluedot's terms say it does not use your content to train or improve AI models, and that its vendors may not either. You keep full ownership of recordings, transcripts, inputs and outputs. You can download recordings and export transcripts as PDF or TXT on every plan, and Business adds custom data retention. Whether the apps show ads is not verified. Recording people needs their consent: tell everyone on the call before Bluedot records.
Read the vendor's own page: Bluedot privacy and data controls. We make no legal or compliance claim.

- Choose Pro for video and longer calls: $25 a month, or $240 a year paid up front by our calculation.
- Compare meeting tools on our tools page, and read how we check vendor claims.
