Greg vs tl;dv: clips & coaching vs a meeting teammate
tl;dv (too long, didn’t view) is an AI meeting assistant built around the recording: transcripts, shareable clips, coaching, and a library your team can search. Greg (getgreg.io) covers the same Zoom / Meet / Teams note job as a visible bot, then spends the rest of the product on being reachable — phone prep, SMS, Slack — after the recording exists.
What tl;dv is better at (honestly)
Clips and coaching are a real product, not a rounding error. Per tldv.io/features/coaching, tl;dv sells AI coaching, playbook adherence (including BANT and MEDDICC), objection-handling review, and feedback on meeting moments. Their homepage also advertises 30+ languages, CRM logging, and drafted follow-up email. Greg does not claim a clip library or that coaching suite.
Pricing is in euros on tldv.io/app/pricing: Free €0; Pro €29/seat/mo (or €18/seat/mo billed annually); Business €39/seat/mo (or €29/seat/mo billed annually). Those are their published EUR figures as of this writing — see their pricing if anything moved. We will not invent a USD conversion.
tl;dv’s public site also discusses GDPR, SOC 2, and EU hosting. Greg’s public pages do not make equivalent compliance claims — do not treat this comparison as a security bake-off. Training and consent questions for Greg are on privacy and consent.
Where Greg is the better tl;dv alternative
Greg will not out-catalog tl;dv’s clips or coaching. The difference we will stand behind is follow-through: a structured note, tasks with owners, a number you can call for prep, and SMS/Slack that go both ways. Capture for Greg is always a visible meeting bot — the bot-free vs meeting-bot guide is the capture-shape comparison if you are also shopping notepads. CRM is optional and narrow (HubSpot or GoHighLevel), not a claim of “the only CRM notetaker.”
| Capability | Greg | tl;dv |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom, Google Meet, Teams | A visible, named bot joins all three. Calendar auto-join on Solo and Team. Upload a recording if the live join was missed. Greg is not bot-free. | tl;dv’s public site says it works with Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams — recording, transcription, and summaries. Their homepage also advertises a no-bot-required option. Confirm the capture mode you will actually use on tldv.io. |
| Notes vs clips & coaching | Speaker-labelled transcript, structured summary (TL;DR, decisions, owned action items on a board), citation-backed Q&A. Call scorecards on paid plans. Not a clip-sharing or playbook-coaching suite. | Positioned as “too long, didn’t view”: video recording, shareable clips/moments, multilingual transcripts (30+ languages on their site), and AI coaching / playbooks (BANT, MEDDICC, and custom — per tldv.io/features/coaching). |
| Pricing model | Free 20 credits/mo. Solo $97/mo + usage. Team $297/mo + usage. Scale custom. 1 credit = 10 minutes, live or upload. | EUR per-seat plans on tldv.io/app/pricing (verified same day as this page): Free €0; Pro €29/seat/mo monthly or €18/seat/mo billed annually; Business €39/seat/mo monthly or €29/seat/mo billed annually. We do not convert those figures to USD. Confirm live numbers there. |
| Follow-through | Phone prep, SMS, Slack as a two-way desk, routines, board tasks. Optional HubSpot or LeadConnector / GoHighLevel writes on paid plans. | Public pages emphasize CRM logging, drafted follow-up email, integrations, and coaching workflows. tl;dv is a notes-and-meeting-library product, not a phone/SMS teammate. |

Frequently asked questions
- Is Greg a tl;dv alternative?
- Yes if you want Zoom / Meet / Teams notes and then a teammate you can call or text. No if you are buying tl;dv for clips, a meeting-video library, multilingual translation at their advertised 30+ languages, or AI sales coaching and playbooks. Greg does not sell those surfaces.
- Does tl;dv join meetings the same way Greg does?
- Greg always joins as a visible, named bot. tl;dv’s site says it records Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams and also advertises a no-bot-required option. We will not flatten that into “both are only bots.” Confirm the mode you need on their site. Greg is not bot-free.
- When is tl;dv the better choice?
- When the job is clipping, sharing, coaching from the recording, or a multilingual video library. When the job is “prep me by phone and chase the follow-up in Slack or SMS,” look at Greg (getgreg.io).
- Which Greg is this?
- Greg the AI meeting assistant at getgreg.io — not getgreg.ai, a different site. Start free; privacy at https://getgreg.io/privacy; hello@getgreg.io.
