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 Vonage Business Communications
Developers and businesses that need programmable video/voice APIs alongside basic UCaaS functionality
Vonage Business Communications is best appreciated by developers who need CPaaS APIs for custom video integration. The standard video conferencing is functional but unremarkable. For teams that don't need programmable APIs, there are better pure video conferencing options at similar or lower prices.
Strengths
- CPaaS APIs allow fully custom video integrations for developers building embedded video experiences
- Programmable video and voice APIs with global infrastructure (Vonage Communications Platform)
- Good CRM integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics
- Reliable voice quality built on Vonage's decades of telephony experience
Limitations
- Video conferencing features are basic compared to Zoom or Teams
- AI features are limited — no meeting summaries or real-time transcription
- No free tier for the UCaaS platform
