The free version is most prone to the limitation of **only 30 minutes per session** — most meetings exceed this, and recording will stop halfway. Additionally, the "3 file imports" is a **lifetime quota, not monthly**, and once used up, you can no longer upload existing recordings. The official website does not specify the accuracy of Chinese transcription, and since Taiwanese meetings often mix Chinese and English, it is recommended to use the free version for testing before deciding whether to pay.

Best for: Teams or those who need to record meetings longer than 90 minutes

What Sets Us Apart
If you often have meetings that last over 2 hours, Pro's 90 minutes is not enough, so you have to upgrade to Business. The annual payment is US$19.99/person/month.
Custom quotes are available upon consultation with sales. Transcription has no limit, single session up to 4 hours, and imports have no limit (Checked 2026-07-31 from official website)
AI writes songs, inputting lyrics style directly generates a complete song
Free50 credits reset every day on the US$0/month free plan, which the pricing page calls Free Plan (the help centre still calls it Basic). The quota is daily, not monthly. A footnote at the bottom of the official page specifically states that credits included with a subscription do not roll over daily or monthly, so any of the 50 credits left unused that day are gone the next. Only the v4.5-all model is available (the official site calls it the best free model); v4, v4.5, v4.5+, v5 and v5.5 are paid-only. 4 songs generate in parallel in a shared queue (paid gets 10 songs with priority queueing). Audio uploads are capped at 8 minutes (30 minutes on paid). On features the free plan is explicitly listed as standard features only, no stem separation and no credit top-ups, so once the 50 daily credits are gone you either wait for tomorrow or upgrade. Most important is licensing: the official site says No commercial use, and the help centre goes further, stating that songs made on the free plan are owned by Suno and users are only permitted to use them non-commercially.

AI audio generation/clone leader, for podcast and dubbing purposes
Free1,000 credits per month (not simply character count, shared among various features such as TTS/voice cloning, equivalent to approximately 10,000 characters for TTS, with licensing restrictions)
Meeting recording tool: Automatically joins Zoom/Microsoft Teams/Google Meet recordings, and generates transcripts, summaries, and to-do lists in real-time. The official website indicates support for multiple languages, but the accuracy of transcription for Chinese (especially Taiwanese accent with mixed Chinese and English) has not been tested, so zh_support is temporarily marked as partial pending manual verification.

Microsoft shipped MAI-Transcribe-2 on September 3, 2026 at US$0.10 per hour of audio — under a third of the previous generation's US$0.36 — but the official page labels it a limited-time price and the regular rate is unpublished.
