When to Choose Dialpad Meetings
AI-first teams that want the most advanced real-time transcription and conversation intelligence built into every meeting
Dialpad Meetings punches above its weight with AI features. The transcription accuracy (trained on 3B+ minutes) is genuinely best-in-class, and AI Recap on all plans is generous. Collaboration tools need work to compete with Zoom or Teams, but for AI-powered meeting intelligence, Dialpad is a standout.
Strengths
- Best-in-class AI transcription trained on 3B+ minutes — custom vocabulary support for industry jargon
- AI Recap with action items included on all plans, not just premium tiers
- Live AI Coach Cards surface real-time conversation tips during calls
- Moment detection and CSAT scoring for customer-facing teams
Limitations
- Collaboration tools (whiteboard, breakout rooms) lag behind Zoom and Teams
- Free tier limited to 10 participants
- Smaller integration marketplace than the Big 3 (Zoom, Teams, Meet)
When to Choose Whereby
Freelancers, consultants, and small teams that want the simplest possible meeting experience with zero friction
Whereby is the anti-Zoom — it strips video meetings down to the absolute essentials. Permanent room links mean zero scheduling friction, and the no-download approach is genuinely delightful. The lack of AI features and limited scalability make it unsuitable for larger teams, but for small, informal meetings, nothing is simpler.
Strengths
- Simplest meeting experience — permanent room links, no downloads, no accounts needed for guests
- Embedded API for developers who want to add video to their own apps
- Beautiful, minimalist interface designed for quick, informal meetings
- Free tier includes unlimited 1-on-1 meetings and up to 4 participants in group calls
Limitations
- No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or noise cancellation
- Limited to 200 participants even on the highest plan
- Basic collaboration tools — no breakout rooms or advanced features
