PRODUCT COMPARISON SHEET
Meeting Buddy doesn’t try to be another bloated cloud platform—it’s a lean, privacy-first Windows desktop app that works offline, with no usage caps and full anonymity.
While competitors chase generic AI automation, Meeting Buddy focuses on building trust in high-stakes conversations like sales and client care. It even supports private intranet LLMs, making it the clear choice for enterprise teams that care about control and security.
There are common features shared across all major platforms, but Meeting Buddy takes a different approach, offering more tailored solutions for privacy-conscious and enterprise-grade environments.
The meeting assistant space is packed with options—each offering a different take on transcription, AI summaries, and collaboration tools. That’s exactly why we’ve broken down the key differences between Meeting Buddy, Otter.ai, and Fireflies in the table below.
Whether you care most about privacy, offline access, or enterprise customization, this side-by-side comparison will help you quickly see which solution fits your needs best.
