Universal vs Platform-Locked: The Critical Difference

Why platform independence beats vendor lock-in for meeting AI

Universal Platform Support

Works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Slack, Discord, WebEx - any video platform. Zoom AI only works with Zoom meetings, forcing multiple tools for multi-platform teams.

100% Local Processing

All transcription happens on your device with zero cloud transmission. Zoom AI sends all meeting data to Zoom's cloud servers for processing.

Free Community Edition

Free and open source with no subscriptions. Zoom AI Companion costs $20/month ($240/year) PLUS requires Zoom Pro subscription ($15.99/month).

Offline Capability

Works completely offline with full functionality. Zoom AI requires constant cloud connectivity for all AI features.

Platform Independence

No vendor lock-in - switch platforms anytime without losing functionality. Zoom AI locks you into the Zoom ecosystem.

Complete Data Sovereignty

Your data never leaves your infrastructure. Perfect for GDPR/HIPAA. Zoom AI requires trusting Zoom's cloud with sensitive data.

Meetily vs Zoom AI: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about choosing universal platform support over Zoom-only AI

What is Meetily and how is it different from Zoom AI Companion?
Meetily is a privacy-first AI meeting assistant that works with ANY meeting platform and processes everything locally. Unlike Zoom AI Companion which only works with Zoom and sends data to the cloud, Meetily ensures complete privacy with universal platform support. Key differences: Works with All Platforms (vs Zoom-only), 100% Local Processing (vs cloud-based), Free Community Edition (vs $240/year), Platform Independence (vs vendor lock-in).
Can Meetily work with Zoom AND other platforms unlike Zoom AI?
Yes! Meetily works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Slack, Discord, WebEx, and any other video conferencing platform. Zoom AI Companion ONLY works with Zoom meetings, forcing you to use different tools for non-Zoom meetings. Meetily gives you one tool for all platforms.
Is Meetily really free compared to Zoom AI's $240/year cost?
Yes, Meetily Community edition is completely free and open source with no subscription fees. Zoom AI Companion costs $20/month ($240/year) and requires a Zoom Pro subscription ($15.99/month additional). Community users save $240+ per year. Pro edition available with custom pricing and premium support.
Which is better for privacy: Meetily or Zoom AI Companion?
Meetily is significantly better for privacy. All transcription happens locally on your device with zero cloud transmission. Zoom AI processes all meeting data in Zoom's cloud servers. For GDPR, HIPAA, or privacy-sensitive environments, Meetily provides complete data sovereignty while Zoom AI requires trusting Zoom's cloud infrastructure.
What if I use Zoom for some meetings and Teams for others?
Meetily is perfect for this scenario - it works seamlessly with both Zoom and Teams (and all other platforms). With Zoom AI, you'd need a completely different solution for Teams meetings, creating workflow complexity and additional costs. Meetily provides consistent functionality across all platforms.
Does Meetily work offline unlike Zoom AI?
Yes, Meetily works completely offline since all processing happens locally. Zoom AI Companion requires constant internet connectivity to Zoom's cloud servers. This makes Meetily ideal for secure environments, air-gapped networks, or situations with unreliable connectivity.
Can I migrate away from Zoom AI to Meetily?
Yes, you can export your meeting data from Zoom before switching to Meetily. Going forward, all new meetings across ALL platforms (not just Zoom) will be processed locally with Meetily, giving you platform independence and complete privacy.
How does cost compare over 5 years?
Over 5 years: Meetily Community costs $0 (free forever), Zoom AI Companion costs $1,200 ($20/month x 60 months) PLUS Zoom Pro subscription costs ($960+). Total Zoom cost: $2,160+. Community users save $2,160+ over 5 years. Pro edition has custom pricing - contact us for details.
