Can AI replace tl;dv?
A DIY app can record, transcribe, summarize, and generate clips, but tl;dv's team library, CRM integrations, and meeting-bot reliability are real work.
Replacing a paid app means you set it up and keep it running: hosting, updates and backups can be on you. What you give up.
01What it costs
Checked Aug 14, 2026 · source: tldv.io.
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Free | Unlimited meeting recordings, transcripts, and storage; no retention clock. |
| Pro | — | $18/mo | Paid AI and workflow features above Free; exact current numeric feature caps were not exposed in crawlable public pricing text. |
| Business | — | — | Conversation intelligence, coaching, and revenue workflows; exact current numeric limits and public price were not reliably exposed. |
| Enterprise | — | — | Custom security, administration, and support; no public numeric price. |
Hidden costs: The live pricing application is dynamic, and separate official 2026 tl;dv pages conflict on the Business annual figure; that field is intentionally null rather than choosing one.
02Could AI build it for you?
The core job: Join/record meetings, generate transcript and summary, tag highlights, clip segments, and export notes.
What a working version needs:
- meeting platform integration
- speech-to-text
- video storage
- LLM API
- hosted backend
Good page because it forces the reader to separate summarization from meeting operations.
03What you'd give up
- meeting bot upkeep
- team/shared library
- CRM integrations
- admin controls
- polished clip sharing
They pay for repeatable team-wide capture and distribution, not because summaries are hard.
