tl;dv is genuinely strong — EU-GDPR wedge, multilingual, AI agents in 2024, $28M in funding. But: Pro is $20/mo with AI throttled, Business is $60/mo for just 3 users, data residency is EU-only, and Reddit is full of 'lost recordings' complaints. We're $9 flat, global regions, and we market 'zero lost meetings' as a feature.

| Business (3 users) | $29/mo flat | $60/mo ($20/seat, 3 user min) |

Gauge never auto-joins your meetings. We don't train on your audio. Your data is GDPR-ready and yours to delete. tl;dv requires a bot in the room — we don't. You upload the recording, you stay in control.
Yes, at every tier. Solo: $9 flat vs $20. 3 users: $9 flat vs $60 (tl;dv Business 3-user min). 10 users: $29 flat vs $200. The bigger your team, the bigger the gap — tl;dv charges per-seat, we don't.
Not yet — tl;dv shipped AI agents in 2024 and it's a real feature. We have the infrastructure (embeddings, vector search) and 'Ask Gauge' is on our roadmap. If conversational AI chat with meetings is a must-have today, tl;dv wins. If $9 flat matters more, we ship it next.
tl;dv is EU-only — great if you're in Berlin, painful if you're in SF. We're global with US/EU/Asia regions. For EU-only teams, tl;dv's data residency story is stronger. For distributed or US/Asia teams, we win.
There are multiple Reddit threads from users reporting lost recordings on tl;dv. We don't claim zero data loss is technically possible — we claim we engineer for it (3x webhook retries, 99.9% SLA, audit logs). If reliability is your top criterion, ask tl;dv about their data-loss rate.
tl;dv's mobile app is commonly cited as slow on Reddit. We're web-first and mobile-responsive. Neither of us wins native mobile today — Otter does. If mobile capture is your #1 need, this isn't the comparison for you.
Free tier — 300 minutes a month. No credit card. No bot in your meeting.
