GetNotes vs Rev: which fits your meetings?
Rev is the only product here that will put a person on your audio — and the only one whose cheaper plans transcribe English and Spanish alone.
Side by side

GetNotes: One free meeting of up to 30 minutes in any supported language, with speaker labels and full minutes, no card.
Entry paid price
Rev: Essentials at $25.49 billed monthly ($305.90 a year); Pro at $47.99 monthly ($575.88 a year). Human transcription is billed separately per audio minute.
GetNotes: $19 a month billed monthly, unlimited meetings, three hours per recording, fair-use 25 hours of audio a month.
Where Rev is the better pick
Pick Rev when the transcript itself is the product and a machine pass is not enough: depositions, evidentiary interviews, broadcast captions, anything an opposing lawyer or a compliance reviewer will read line by line. Paying a human $1.50 to $1.99 an audio minute is the right call there, and no AI tool in this set — GetNotes included — substitutes for it.
Comparison based on publicly available information, checked July 2026. Products change — check their site for current details.
Rev is not really competing for the same job. Its distinguishing product is human transcription — a person listening to your file and typing it, priced at roughly $1.50 to $1.99 per audio minute depending on turnaround, in English. Nobody else in this comparison sells that. If a transcript is going to be quoted in a filing, read into a record, or published as a broadcast caption, a human pass is a defensible thing to pay for and GetNotes does not offer it.
Rev's AI side is a different proposition. Essentials is $25.49 billed monthly with 5,000 AI minutes, Pro $47.99 with 10,000, and there is an AI Notetaker that joins Zoom, Meet and Teams plus a mobile app aimed at dictation and recording on the move. Language coverage is tiered: English and Spanish on Free and Essentials, 37-plus once you are on Pro or Unlimited. GetNotes gives all 99 languages on the free trial and on Pro alike.
Where GetNotes differs most is the shape of the output. Rev's centre is the transcript as a deliverable — files in, accurate text out, often for someone else to edit. GetNotes assumes the transcript is raw material and the point is the meeting: who said what, what was decided, and who owes what by when, written up automatically so a meeting held in a room ends with a shareable record rather than three people's conflicting notes.
Where it earns its keep
A client intake meeting that may never be quoted
Most law-firm meetings are not depositions. An intake conversation needs to be captured accurately enough that nobody forgets the dates and the sums, and turned into a file note the same afternoon. Paying human transcription rates for every one of those is expensive. GetNotes records the room from a phone and returns speaker-labelled minutes at a flat $19 a month.
A multilingual community consultation
Residents speaking Urdu, Arabic and English in the same church hall. Rev's Free and Essentials plans transcribe English and Spanish only, so you would need Pro before the audio is even eligible, and human transcription is English-only. GetNotes handles all 99 languages on every plan, including the free first meeting.
Ten minutes to write up what was decided
You leave a stakeholder session and have to circulate an agreed record before people's memories diverge. A verbatim transcript, human or otherwise, is not that document — someone still has to read it and pull out the decisions. GetNotes writes the summary, decisions and action items with owners directly from the recording.
How GetNotes works
- Record or upload. Hit record on your phone or laptop in the room — or drop in an audio file you already have. No bot joins anything.
- It writes it down. Every word transcribed, every speaker labelled, in 90+ languages including ones that switch mid-sentence.
- Share the minutes.Summary, decisions, and action items with owners — ready before everyone's back at their desk.
Questions, answered
Does GetNotes offer human transcription like Rev?
No. Human-verified transcription at roughly $1.50 to $1.99 per audio minute is Rev's genuine speciality and GetNotes has no equivalent. GetNotes is fully automated: ElevenLabs transcribes the audio with speaker labels and Claude writes the minutes. For evidentiary or broadcast work where a person must certify the text, Rev is the right tool.
How do Rev and GetNotes compare on languages?
Rev tiers language access: English and Spanish on the Free and Essentials plans, 37-plus languages on Pro and Unlimited, and human transcription in English only, as of July 2026. GetNotes gives all 99 transcription languages on every plan including the free first meeting, and keeps meetings that switch language mid-sentence in one coherent transcript.
Is GetNotes cheaper than Rev?
For meeting notes, yes, and the gap widens once a human pass is involved: Rev Essentials is $25.49 billed monthly, Pro $47.99, and human transcription is charged on top per audio minute. GetNotes is one line — $19 a month, no minute meter, three hours per recording, fair use 25 hours. They are different products, though. Rev sells a certified transcript.
Can GetNotes handle files I would normally upload to Rev?
Usually. GetNotes accepts MP3, M4A, WAV, WebM and MP4 uploads and treats them exactly like a recording made in the app: transcription with speaker labels, then written minutes with summary, decisions and action items. Rev's bulk file handling, including ZIP uploads and large monthly minute allowances, is stronger if you are processing archives at volume.
