Before you switch

Tactiq: AI transcripts for Meet, Zoom and Teams. The options below are all live and price-verified as of Jul 21, 2026; compare them on price, free tier, and fit.

What sets it apart Browser-extension capture with no meeting bot, plus credit-metered AI

Tactiq is a browser-based meeting transcription tool that runs as a Chrome extension and captures live transcripts from Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams without sending a separate bot into the call. It transcribes in real time with speaker identification across 60+ languages, then uses AI credits to generate summaries, action items, and follow-up drafts, with custom prompts for pulling specific details and integrations to Slack, Notion, Linear, and HubSpot. Tiers run from a Free plan (5 AI credits and 10 transcripts per month) through Pro, Team, and Business, the last adding SAML SSO, advanced data retention, and beta Tactiq MCP and Claude Connector features. It fits individuals and teams who already meet inside Meet, Zoom, or Teams and want transcripts captured from the browser rather than by a joining assistant.
