Business adds CRM field sync, deal view, coaching metrics and custom summaries. Enterprise is sales-led with SSO, SCIM and custom retention.

## Capabilities

| Capability | Fit | Plans | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transcribe and summarise meetings (`meeting-transcription`) | native | all | Bot-free capture is a Mac beta; Advanced and custom summaries need Premium or Business |
| Manage contacts and customer records (`crm-contacts`) | partial | business, enterprise | CRM field sync is Business and above; Not a CRM; it only writes to an existing one |

## Why people pay for it

- Advanced AI summaries and AI-generated action items
- Team-wide search, playlists and shared folders
- CRM field sync, deal view and coaching metrics for sales teams

## Reasons to keep paying

- Archive of recorded and transcribed calls with clips and highlights
- CRM field sync that updates records after calls (Business)
- Free plan with unlimited recordings, which few rivals match

## Risks

- **sensitive_data** (high): Recordings capture everything said in calls; check consent rules and data retention.
- **functionality_loss** (low): Dropping to Free keeps unlimited recordings but loses advanced summaries, action items and team features.

Data portability: moderate — Editorial: recordings, clips and transcripts can be downloaded, and there is a public API; summaries, playlists and team folders do not map one-to-one onto another notetaker.
