Recall.ai vs Relay

Record the meeting, or take part in it.

Recall.ai is the leading meeting recording API: one integration, six platforms, $0.50 an hour. It can play audio into a meeting, and the live conversation is yours to build. Relay is built the other way round: for an AI that speaks in the meeting. Here is where each one fits.

Questions

Questions developers ask

What is Recall.ai?

A meeting recording API. It sends a bot into Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, GoTo Meeting and Slack Huddles and returns recordings, transcripts and meeting data. Its published price is $0.50 per recording hour.

Can Recall.ai speak in a meeting?

It can display video and play audio in the meeting. Building the live conversation on top, the listening, turn-taking and timing, is left to the developer.

What does Relay do differently?

Relay is built for the speaking participant. Your AI connects by websocket; Relay joins the Zoom meeting as a named participant and carries the conversation both ways.

Is Relay a Recall.ai alternative?

For AI that takes part in meetings, yes. For recording and transcripts across six platforms, Recall.ai is built for that job.

Which platforms does Relay support?

Zoom natively, approved and searchable on the Zoom App Marketplace. Phone and web are live. Microsoft Teams is an enterprise deployment on the customer's own tenant, behind their firewall.
