Read AI goes beyond notetaking with live metrics and coaching. Its assistant joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, shows an in-meeting dashboard with transcription and engagement metrics, and produces reports with a summary, topics, action items and key questions. The free plan includes 5 meeting transcripts a month, unlimited enterprise search, summaries for email and messaging, a personal meeting coach and 20+ languages. Pro costs $15 per user per month billed annually or $19.75 monthly and adds unlimited transcripts, priority processing, 100 file upload credits and premium integrations with Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Confluence and Zapier. Enterprise at $22.50 annually adds audio and video playback and highlights, and Enterprise+ adds HIPAA compliance, SAML and SCIM and EU and Canada hosting. The catch is that playback, which many buyers expect from a meeting recorder, is not part of Pro, so the realistic price for video is $22.50 per user.
