Circleback adds free tier to compete with AI note-takers
circleback introduces a free subscription tier with limited features to attract more customers amid intensifying competition in the meeting note-taker market.
circleback, founded in 2023 by ali haghani and kevin jacyna, has introduced a free subscription tier to attract more customers in the competitive meeting note-taker market. the free plan offers unlimited meeting transcriptions with 30-day history access, mobile and apple watch apps, ai-powered query transcripts, and integrations with linear and slack. previously, circleback's plans started at $20.83 per month, but with the new free tier, paid plans now start at $14 per month. the company, which raised $2.5 million in 2024 and has been profitable since then, sees this move as a way to increase user acquisition and compete with larger companies. circleback's run-rate revenue is over $1 million per employee, with a team of eight people.
