$0.005 per minute. Billed by the minute, not the meeting. Drop a Meet, Teams, or Zoom URL — get per-speaker audio, a tab video, timestamped captions, and inbound chat shipped to your S3-compatible bucket. A signed webhook arrives when the meeting ends.
import { createMeetbot } from "@meetbot/sdk";
const meetbot = createMeetbot({ apiKey: process.env.MEETBOT_API_KEY! });
const job = await meetbot.dispatchBot({

});
console.log(job.id, job.status);02 · what you get back
No proprietary container. No "go to our portal to download." When the meeting ends, these land in the prefix you nominated, and a webhook arrives with the manifest path.
One Opus track per participant. No mixing, no leakage. WebRTC SSRC-keyed; speaker tags carry through from the meeting roster.

Newline-delimited JSON. One row per finalized utterance — speakerId, text, start/end ms. From Meet's data channel where available; live DOM scrape otherwise.

Joins as anonymous guest by default. Workspace-account login is in progress for the April 2026 dual-queue admit rollout.
Web client, anonymous join. Captions via the data-channel intercept; real participant names from the People pane.
Web client only — no Zoom SDK key required, no native binary. Per-speaker audio via WebRTC SSRC mapping.
* About the asterisk: Google rolled out a dual-queue admit system for Meet in April 2026 that auto-denies anonymous joiners on Workspace meetings. We're shipping a Workspace-bot identity pool to handle it — landing this month.
04 · the flow
The orchestrator runs on your infrastructure or ours. No black-box state machine — the job table, the bot containers, the webhook deliveries are all visible to you (and inspectable in the admin) at every step.

signed event 05 · pricing
That's $0.30 an hour. Billed by the minute, not the meeting — a 17-minute call costs you 8.5 cents. First meeting (up to one hour) is free. We publish our pricing because we have nothing to hide — including the math against the closed-source alternative.

Recall.ai pricing as of their public pricing page; we'll update this row when theirs moves. This is a comparison, not a takedown — they built a great product.

displayName you passed to dispatchBot. By default it's meetbot; pass displayName: "Linqua note-taker" if you want the participant list to say so. Hosts still admit it from the lobby like any guest.bot@meetbot.dev to your next Google Meet, Teams, or Zoom calendar invite. The bot joins, records, and emails you the recording when the meeting ends. First meeting (up to one hour) is on us — no signup, no card. After that you can keep going on a paid account.
