What Bluedot does
Bluedot is a bot-free AI note taker for online and in-person meetings. It records a meeting, then produces notes, action items and transcripts, and it can push those notes into a CRM or an ATS. Bot-free is the pitch: no notetaker account joins the call, so nothing in the participant list announces the recording. That matters in a bot-free recording setup where a visible bot changes how people talk.
The product runs as a Chrome extension and as desktop and mobile apps, and the free plan connects Slack, Notion, Zapier and Make. Paid plans add webhook access and an MCP integration, so notes move into other tools without a manual export. Higher plans add video, longer recordings, custom note templates, imports from Zoom and Google Drive, admin controls, SSO, SCIM and custom data retention.
What it does not give you is a working free tier. The free plan is capped at 5 meetings for the life of the account, not 5 a month, so it works as a demonstration of the meeting summary rather than a plan you can run every week. Bluedot also bills only the users who record meetings, so a workspace can hold more members than paying seats.
What you get for the money
Two columns of prices sit on the pricing page: what you pay month to month, and what you pay billed yearly. The Bluedot deals page tracks the current annual difference.
| Plan | Price month to month | Price billed yearly | What is included | The limit that matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | No charge | No charge | 5 meetings for the life of the account, Chrome extension, desktop and mobile apps, Slack, Notion, Zapier and Make | 5 meetings, once, not every month |
| Basic | $18 per user per month | $14 per user per month | Unlimited meetings in audio only, unlimited storage, webhook access, MCP integration | Audio only, and each recording capped at 1 hour |
| Pro | $25 per user per month | $20 per user per month | Everything in Basic, plus unlimited meetings with video, unlimited recording duration, custom note templates, Zoom and Google Drive imports | Video and recordings past an hour start here |
| Business | $39 per user per month | $32 per user per month | Everything in Pro, plus CRM and ATS integrations, advanced admin controls, SSO and SCIM, custom data retention, org-wide MCP and webhooks, unlimited audio and video imports | CRM, SSO and admin controls start here |
| Flat rate | Quote only | Quote only | One fixed price for the whole company, whatever the headcount | The price is not published |
The reference price is $18: Basic month to month, the cheapest paid plan open to one buyer with no commitment. That buys unlimited meetings in audio only and unlimited storage, with each recording capped at 1 hour. Committing to a year takes Basic to $14 a month, which is $168 over twelve months against $216 paid month to month.
One billing rule is worth reading before you pay. Bluedot charges only the users who record meetings, and a seat added mid-cycle is billed pro rata: the company’s own example buys a second Pro license halfway through a month and charges half the price, $12.50, then the full amount from the next cycle.

Where it falls short
- The free plan does not survive a schedule. It is 5 meetings for the life of the account, not 5 a month, so it demonstrates the product and then stops.
- Basic is audio only, with a one-hour cap. Video, unlimited recording duration and custom note templates all start at Pro, so a podcaster or a training session that runs past the hour cannot stay on the cheapest plan.
- CRM and ATS sync, SSO, SCIM and org-wide webhooks are Business only. A team that needs notes inside a CRM pays $39 per user per month, or $32 billed yearly, rather than $18.
- Canceling costs you the recordings. Bluedot keeps them for one month after a cancellation and then deletes them, so export anything you need before you cancel.
- The company flat rate has no published price. Above the per-user plans there is only a request form, so a large team cannot read a number before a sales call.
Bluedot alternatives
Three AI note takers come up in the same buying decision, and each charges differently.
- Fireflies.ai, from $18 per seat per month, or $10 billed yearly, with a free plan that stays free and includes 20 AI credits: it transcribes with a bot in the call and adds video and analytics.
- Fathom, $19 a month with a free plan that runs forever: it captures calls automatically and keeps summaries and action items on every tier.
- Otter.ai, $16.99 a month with no commitment or $8.33 a month billed yearly, with a free plan of 300 transcription minutes a month: it is transcription first, with a live transcript and an AI chat across meetings.
Who it is for: Bluedot
Bluedot fits a small team that wants a written record of meetings without a visible bot in the call. You run a mix of video calls and in-person conversations, you want the notes and the action items to land in one place, and the people who record are the people who should pay. Basic at $18 per user per month covers unlimited meetings in audio only and unlimited storage, and a team that records in person or over the phone never needs the video that starts at Pro.
It does not fit a team that records video, keeps long sessions or wants notes pushed into a CRM on a low plan. Video and unlimited recording duration start at Pro, at $25 per user per month or $20 billed yearly, and CRM and ATS sync starts at Business, at $39 or $32. It also does not fit a buyer who wants a large free tier, because the free plan stops at 5 meetings for the life of the account, or one who needs a flat company price, because that rate is quote only. The tutorial for recording without a bot covers the setup.
How we checked
We read Bluedot’s pricing page at bluedothq.com/pricing, its terms of use at bluedothq.com/terms and its help center on October 3, 2026, covering the five published options, the plan contents, the recording and storage limits, the two billing views and the billing and cancellation answers. Every price and limit on this page comes from those addresses. We have not used Bluedot, so we did not record a meeting with it, and we cannot measure the note quality or the bot-free behavior in practice. When that test happens this page becomes a Hands-on review and gains the results.
What to do next
Start on the free plan and record two real meetings, one online call and one in person, to judge whether the notes and action items are usable before you pay. If they are, and your recordings are audio, Basic at $18 per user per month is the entry, and the $14 billed yearly rate is worth taking once you know you will stay a year. If you record video or keep sessions past an hour, budget for Pro, and if the notes have to reach a CRM or an ATS, budget for Business. If a notetaker bot in the call is not a problem for you, Fireflies.ai and Otter.ai both bill lower on their annual rate.
