The short answer
Both sides assessedScribbl compared with Superpowered
Superpowered captures native desktop audio so it is not confined to the browser, holds SOC 2 Type II, and deletes transcripts after seven days by design. Scribbl covers Meet in the browser and Zoom and Teams through a desktop app, keeps video for up to a year, and costs $13 against Superpowered's $25 entry. Choose Superpowered for desktop coverage and an aggressive privacy default; choose Scribbl if you want the archive and the recording.
Superpowered compared with Scribbl
Scribbl records Meet in the browser and Zoom and Teams through a desktop app, keeps video for up to a year, and costs $13 a seat, but publishes no security certification at all. Superpowered costs $25, records nothing, deletes transcripts in a week, and carries SOC 2 Type II. These are opposite products wearing the same bot-free label: one builds a media archive, the other refuses to build any archive.
Choose Scribbl if
Small agencies, sales teams, and consultants who want a recording they can rewatch and clip without a bot embarrassing them in front of a client, and individuals who need unlimited meetings with video for thirteen dollars a seat.
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 | Five minutes. Install the Chrome extension, sign in, and the next browser meeting is captured. There is nothing for IT to package and no bot to whitelist in your meeting platform's admin console. | 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 | Minimal. The post-call tab opens automatically with notes already generated, and the only habit worth building is marking moments during the call so the key exchanges are pre-flagged. | 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
Scribbl
Strengths
- The only genuinely cheap way to get bot-free capture and retained video in the same product, which is a combination almost nobody else offers.
- Transcript-to-video seeking makes finding the exact moment in a call trivial, and it is the feature users cite most in reviews.
- One credit equals one meeting regardless of length, so a three-hour workshop costs the same as a fifteen-minute stand-up.
- Chrome extension and desktop app install with no bot and no meeting-platform approval, which routes around IT friction.
Limitations
- No SOC 2, no ISO 27001, no published data residency, and no SSO, which disqualifies Scribbl from most formal procurement processes.
- Language support is explicitly inherited from Google Meet's caption list rather than owned, so non-English quality is not something Scribbl controls or publishes figures on.
- No mobile app and no in-person meeting recording; Zoom and Teams capture needs the desktop app, which requires a paid plan after 7 days.
- The Team plan has no published price, so team budgets need a sales conversation.
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.
- Unlimited AI notes need Pro at $50 a month billed annually ($108 monthly), several times 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
Scribbl
Freemium credit-based subscription where one credit equals one meeting, with per-seat pricing on paid tiers and a steep annual discount.
- Lite$0
- Pro$13
- TeamCustom
For the specific person who wants bot-free capture and video playback, Scribbl is the cheapest route by a wide margin and there is barely any competition. Model 20 meetings a week: that is roughly 80 calls a month, all covered by Pro's unlimited allowance at $13 per user per month, or $156 a year per seat, with a year of video retention included. Fathom's paid tiers or tl;dv give you more platform, but both put a bot in the room. Granola at $14 is the closer comparison on price and loses on media entirely. What you are trading away is certification and scale: no SOC 2, no SSO, no residency, no mobile, and language coverage borrowed from Google. If none of those appear on your requirements list, the price is excellent. If any of them do, no discount makes it work.
Superpowered
Freemium per-seat subscription metered by AI note generations: none on Free, 10 a month on Basic, and unlimited on Pro, with a large annual discount.
- Free$0
- Basic$25
- Pro$50
- 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. Basic's 10 AI notes do not come close, so that person needs Pro at $50 a month billed annually, $600 a year, or $108 a month month to month. Granola Business gives the same person unlimited notes plus permanent history, API, and MCP for $14 a seat, and Tactiq Team gives unlimited AI for $16.67. On pure capability per dollar Superpowered loses; it wins only if seven-day transcript deletion is the requirement.
Editorial verdict on each
Scribbl
Ease of UseScribbl is a narrow product that is very good at the one thing it chose. If you want a recording you can rewatch and clip, but you refuse to put a bot in front of a client, there is almost nothing else at this price that does both, and transcript-to-video seeking makes the archive genuinely usable rather than nominally searchable. At $13 a seat with unlimited meetings and unlimited length, the arithmetic works for anyone in constant calls. The problem is everything around the product: no SOC 2, no SSO, no residency, no mobile, borrowed language support, a Team tier that is half built, and a company small enough that its own site disagrees about the size of the free plan. Buy it as an individual or a small unregulated team where the buyer is the user. Do not put it in front of a procurement department, because it will not survive the first page of the questionnaire.
Read the full Scribbl profileSuperpowered
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.
