Greg vs Read AI: analytics vs a teammate
Read AI is an AI meeting assistant that joins Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet, then leans into reports: summaries, transcripts, live notes, and meeting metrics. Greg (getgreg.io) covers the same three platforms for notes, then spends the rest of the product on being reachable — phone prep, SMS, Slack — after the recording exists.
What Read AI is better at
If you want a dashboard of how the meeting went — talk time, live metrics, later video playback and highlights — Read AI publishes that on read.ai/plans-pricing. They also market summaries beyond the call (email and messaging) and a wide Pro integration list. Greg does not claim those surfaces.
Per-seat unlimited meetings on Read’s paid plans can also be cheaper than Greg’s workspace-plus-credits math if you only need transcripts at volume. That is a real lead for a notes-only buyer.
Where Greg is the better Read AI alternative
Greg will not out-catalog Read’s analytics or its email/message summaries. The difference we will stand behind is the hour after: a structured note, tasks with owners, a number you can call for prep, and SMS/Slack that go both ways. CRM is optional and narrow (HubSpot or GoHighLevel), not a claim of “the only CRM notetaker.”
| Capability | Greg | Read AI |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom, Google Meet, Teams | Visible bot on all three. Calendar auto-join on Solo and Team. Upload if the bot was not invited. | Read AI’s public meetings and pricing pages list Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, with an assistant that can auto-join from a connected calendar. Desktop, iOS, and Android apps are advertised. Live notes and in-meeting metrics are part of the product. |
| Notes vs analytics | Speaker-labelled transcript, structured summary, owned action items on a board, citation-backed Q&A. Call scorecards on paid plans. Not an engagement-scoring suite. | Summaries, transcripts, action items, plus meeting metrics (talk time, live notes). Higher tiers add audio/video playback and highlights. Read also markets summaries of email and messaging, not only meetings (per read.ai). |
| Pricing model | Free 20 credits/mo. Solo $97/mo + usage. Team $297/mo + usage. Scale custom. 1 credit = 10 minutes, live or upload. | Free: 5 meeting transcripts/month (read.ai/plans-pricing). Pro about $15/user/mo annual or $19.75 monthly — unlimited transcripts, premium integrations (Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Confluence, Zapier, webhooks). Enterprise about $22.50 / $29.75 per user/mo (video playback). Enterprise+ is sales-led (HIPAA, SAML/SCIM). Confirm live numbers there. |
| CRM & follow-through | Optional HubSpot or GoHighLevel writes on paid plans. Phone prep, SMS, Slack, routines — follow-through is the product. | Premium integrations on Pro include Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack (via the broader integration list), Zapier, and webhooks. Read AI is a notes-and-analytics platform, not a phone/SMS assistant. |

Frequently asked questions
- Is Greg a Read AI alternative?
- Yes if you want Zoom / Meet / Teams notes and then a teammate you can call or text. No if you are buying Read AI for live meeting metrics, video playback, or email/messaging summaries — Greg does not sell those surfaces.
- Does Read AI support the same video platforms as Greg?
- Both cover Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Read AI additionally advertises live in-meeting notes/metrics and native mobile/desktop apps. Greg’s extra path is upload-any-file through the same summary pipeline, plus phone and SMS after.
- When is Read AI the better choice?
- When the buying criterion is meeting intelligence — talk time, live metrics, video highlights, or searching meetings plus email/messages in one product. When the criterion is “prep me by phone and chase the follow-up in Slack or SMS,” look at Greg (getgreg.io).
