Pros & cons
Pros
- Free tier is unusually generous
- Clip sharing is genuinely useful for handoffs
Cons
- AI summaries are paywalled
- Bot joins visibly, which some guests dislike
Who it's not for
A recommendation is only worth something if it says who should skip the tool. tl;dv is a poor fit if:
- Meetings where consent to record is unclear
- Regulated conversations
- Offline meetings
Privacy & your data
Meeting audio and transcripts are stored in tl;dv's cloud. Recording consent laws vary by jurisdiction β secure agreement from everyone on the call, and check retention settings for sensitive discussions.
Policies change. This summary reflects our last review β the vendor's current privacy policy is always the authority.

How to use
Try it before you pay
Start on the free tier or trial and run one real task end to end β not a demo prompt. That is the only way to tell whether it fits how you actually work.
Check the limits that bite
Find the constraint that will matter at your volume: generation credits, seats, export quality or rate limits. It is usually not the headline price.
Decide in a week
Set a date to keep or cancel. Tools that survive on 'I might use it later' are how subscription costs quietly accumulate.

- Is there a free version?
- Yes β Free on the Free plan.
- Can I use the output commercially?
