jamie vs Superpowered
An independent, review-free comparison compiled by the SaaSTracker editorial team. Both products are profiled in full, and neither can pay for placement here.
The short answer
Both sides assessedjamie compared with Superpowered
Both refuse the bot and both delete the audio. Superpowered goes further and deletes the transcript after seven days, holds SOC 2 Type II, and costs $25, but is US-hosted, desktop-only, and has no cross-meeting chat yet. jamie keeps the archive with unlimited storage, hosts entirely in the EU under ISO 27001, covers 99-plus languages, and handles in-person meetings. Choose jamie for residency and language breadth; choose Superpowered if you want nothing to persist.
Superpowered compared with jamie
Both are bot-free, both delete audio after transcription, and both take privacy seriously. Jamie hosts entirely in the EU, holds ISO 27001, supports 99-plus languages with speaker recognition and in-person capture, and starts at €21 a month. Superpowered is SOC 2 Type II, US-oriented, desktop-only, and deletes transcripts after seven days. Pick Jamie for EU residency, language breadth, and a retained archive; pick Superpowered if you want the transcripts gone.
Choose jamie if
European companies with real GDPR obligations and a requirement for EU data residency, multilingual teams working across many languages, and anyone who needs bot-free capture for both online and in-person meetings.
Choose Superpowered if
Privacy-conscious professionals and small teams on macOS or Windows who use native desktop meeting clients, want nothing recorded and nothing retained, and will pay a premium for a vendor that deletes rather than accumulates.

| Setup time | Around ten minutes. Install jamie, connect a calendar, grant microphone and system audio permission, and the next meeting is captured. There is no bot to whitelist and no meeting-platform admin approval to obtain. | About ten minutes. Install the macOS or Windows app, grant audio and screen recording permission at the operating system level, connect a calendar, and auto-join handles the rest. The permission grant is the only step that trips people up, particularly on managed Macs. |
| Learning curve | Low. The two things worth configuring early are speaker identities, so speaker memory starts building correctly, and the note language, since jamie will happily produce notes in a different language from the one the meeting was held in. | Low. The one investment worth making is template design, because Superpowered's output quality is driven far more by template structure than by prompt skill. Teams that skip templates get generic notes and conclude the product is ordinary. |

Strengths and limitations
jamie
Strengths
- Complete EU hosting for both storage and processing, which resolves the data transfer question that blocks most American tools in European procurement.
- ISO 27001 certification plus a clear, unambiguous statement that customer data is never used to train models.
- More than 99 languages for both transcripts and notes, the broadest coverage among the bot-free tools in this category.
- Device-level capture handles in-person and hybrid meetings as well as online calls, which browser-extension rivals cannot do at all.
Limitations
- Expensive: Pro at €39 a month is roughly triple Granola Business for a comparable individual, and the euro pricing adds currency risk for non-eurozone buyers.
- Hard meeting-duration caps at 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 5 hours by tier, which is an unusual constraint and a genuine problem for workshops and all-day sessions.
- The cheap tiers are not viable plans: 10 meetings at 30 minutes on Free and 20 meetings on Plus rule out anyone with a normal calendar.
- No audio or video retention means no playback for coaching, demo review, or checking how something was said.
Superpowered
Strengths
- The only mainstream notetaker built around deleting your data rather than accumulating it: no audio ever, transcripts gone in seven days.
- Native desktop capture on macOS and Windows works with native meeting clients that browser-extension competitors cannot reach, and cannot be blocked by a host's bot policy.
- SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance on a product this small and this cheap to evaluate, which shortens the security conversation considerably.
- More than 50 languages supported with no per-language pricing, and a published list rather than a vague claim.
Limitations
- The seven-day transcript deletion is a hard architectural choice, not a setting; you cannot search back through what was said last quarter because it no longer exists.
- AI Chat across your meetings is still marked coming soon, and the deletion policy makes a full cross-archive assistant structurally difficult to deliver.
- Entry paid pricing at $25 a month is roughly triple the individual tiers of Granola, Tactiq, and Scribbl for a smaller feature surface.
- The Basic to Pro jump doubles the price for integrations alone, with no improvement in capture, notes, or history.
Pricing compared

jamie is priced as a compliance product, and if you have the compliance requirement it is worth it. If you do not, it is hard to defend. Model 20 meetings a week: roughly 80 a month, which immediately eliminates Free and Plus and puts you on Pro at €39 a month, about €468 a year, or Team at €33 a seat. Granola Business gives an equivalent user unlimited notes, unlimited history, CRM connectors, API, and MCP for $14. Tactiq Team gives unlimited AI generation for $16.67. On raw capability per euro jamie is roughly two to three times the market. What the premium buys is complete EU hosting, ISO 27001, 99-plus languages, in-person capture, and a vendor that answers to European regulators. For a Berlin or Munich buyer with a data protection officer to satisfy, that is a rational purchase. For a US startup that has never been asked where its data lives, it is an expensive way to get notes.

- BusinessCustom
Superpowered is the most expensive entry point in this batch and it is honest about why: you are buying a deletion policy, not a feature list. Model 20 meetings a week, roughly 80 a month. On Basic that is $25 a month flat with unlimited generations, about $300 a year, or nearer $150 if the advertised annual discount holds. Granola Business gives the same person unlimited notes plus permanent history, API, and MCP for $14 a seat. Tactiq Team gives unlimited AI for $16.67. On pure capability per dollar, Superpowered loses to both. It wins only if the seven-day transcript deletion and the no-recording guarantee are load-bearing requirements rather than nice-to-haves, in which case the alternatives are not really alternatives at all. Decide which of those two situations you are in before comparing prices, because the comparison is meaningless otherwise.
Editorial verdict on each
jamie
jamie is what you buy when the answer to where does the data live has to be Europe. Complete EU hosting, ISO 27001, no model training on your conversations, audio deleted after transcription, and 99-plus languages add up to a product that clears European procurement in a way that most of this category cannot, and the bot-free local capture means it clears the client-relationship test too. The cost of that position is real: Pro at €39 a month is around triple Granola Business for a comparable individual, the meeting-duration caps are an odd and genuinely limiting constraint, and the cheap tiers are demonstrations rather than plans. If you have a data protection officer to satisfy or a genuinely multilingual European operation, jamie is the right choice and the premium is defensible. If you do not, you are paying two to three times the market rate for a compliance property nobody will ever ask you about.

Superpowered is the answer to a question most buyers do not have, and the only good answer for the ones who do. If your real objection to meeting AI is not the bot in the room but the permanent transcript archive accumulating on someone else's servers, this is the only credible product built around deleting instead of hoarding, and the SOC 2 Type II plus native desktop capture make it defensible in a security review. For everyone else the arithmetic is unkind: $25 a month buys less than Granola's $14 or Tactiq's $16.67, cross-meeting chat is still unbuilt, there is no mobile app, and the seven-day deletion you are paying for is the same thing that stops you searching your own history. Buy it deliberately, for the policy. Buy anything else if you want the archive.
