How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Allego when coaching reps using insights and showreels drawn from real calls matters most, and OpenOats when privately transcribing meetings on a mac without sending audio to the cloud matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

Open-source macOS meeting note-taker that transcribes calls locally and surfaces relevant talking points from your own notes in real time.
Allego provides conversation intelligence as part of its broader sales enablement and revenue-enablement platform. The conversation intelligence module automatically records and transcribes sales calls and meetings across common dialers and video platforms, supporting multiple languages, then analyzes those conversations to surface key topics, buyer sentiment, objections, competitor mentions, and successful selling behaviors. Transcripts are searchable, and the system generates summaries and action items from each call. Because it sits inside Allego's enablement suite, the analysis connects directly to coaching and learning workflows: managers can build showreels from top-performing calls, apply consistent scoring to identify coaching opportunities, and link reps to relevant training and practice modules. On the deal side, Allego ties conversation data to CRM context, providing early warning signals when deals lose momentum and visibility into buyer engagement across calls, email, content, and digital sales rooms. Allego is aimed at mid-market and enterprise revenue organizations that want conversation intelligence unified with onboarding, content, and coaching rather than as a standalone tool. It was recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Revenue Enablement Platforms. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

OpenOats is an open-source macOS meeting note-taker, created by Yazin Akkawi (the project was previously named OpenGranola before being renamed), that sits alongside your calls and both transcribes the conversation and helps you contribute to it. It captures both sides of a meeting and transcribes audio locally on Apple Silicon so audio never leaves the device, while in real time it searches your own markdown or plain-text knowledge base to surface relevant talking points and things worth saying during the discussion. The application window is hidden from screen sharing by default, which lets it stay private during video calls, and transcripts and session logs are auto-saved locally. OpenOats supports both fully local operation through Ollama and cloud providers such as OpenRouter and Voyage AI, so users can choose between complete offline privacy and hosted models. It is written primarily in Swift, distributed under the MIT license, and actively maintained with very frequent releases. The project documents itself at openoats.com and targets users who want a privacy-respecting, self-hostable alternative to cloud meeting copilots, combining live transcription with a retrieval layer over personal notes rather than only producing an after-the-fact summary. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
