Autorec vs Avoma
Local-first vs a cloud notetaker
Avoma is a conversation-intelligence platform, not just a recorder. It does scorecards, deal analytics, CRM sync and a shared call library for revenue teams. It records with a bot and processes everything in its cloud. Autorec does one thing instead: it records and transcribes your meetings locally with no bot. If you manage a sales pipeline and want analytics on every call, Avoma is the heavier tool and it is built for that. If you just want a private local recording, Autorec covers it without the platform overhead or the subscription.

Which one fits you
Choose Autorec if
You want calls recorded without a bot and kept on your own disk, for a one-time price. You do not need scorecards or pipeline analytics, and you would rather not run meeting audio through a vendor's cloud.
Choose Avoma if
You run a sales team and need conversation analytics, call scorecards, CRM sync and a shared library. Avoma is built for exactly that. Autorec has none of it, so for a revenue org Avoma is the right tool.
What it costs over time
Avoma's paid plans start around $19 per user per month. A three-person team over two years runs about $1,370, and keeps billing after that. Autorec is €20 once per major version, and one license activates on up to 5 devices — a three-person team needs just one €20 purchase, with two slots to spare. That is a big gap, but Avoma's price covers a whole analytics platform and Autorec is just a recorder. Compare them on what you actually need, not on the number alone.
Moving off Avoma
Avoma keeps recordings, transcripts and analytics in its web app. Export the recordings and transcripts you want to retain before your plan ends; the analytics history does not move. If Avoma feeds your CRM, plan a replacement for that, since Autorec does not integrate. The recording itself needs no migration: install Autorec and it captures the next detected meeting locally.
Common questions

No. Avoma scores calls, tracks talk time and feeds deal analytics. Autorec records and transcribes meetings locally and writes an AI summary, but it has no analytics or scorecards.
Does Autorec add a bot to the call like Avoma?
No. Avoma joins the call as a bot participant. Autorec records the meeting window from your desktop with no extra attendee.
Where do recordings live with Autorec versus Avoma?
Avoma stores everything in its cloud. Autorec writes recordings, transcripts and summaries to your local disk only.
Is Autorec a replacement for Avoma?
Only for the recording part. If you use Avoma mainly to capture and transcribe calls, Autorec covers that locally. If you depend on its analytics and CRM features, Autorec does not replace those.
