How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Allo when sales teams that want every outbound and inbound call recorded, transcribed, and logged to the crm automatically matters most, and HiDock when capturing phone calls and bluetooth-earphone conversations for notes matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

AI note-taking hardware (docks, recorders, mini devices) paired with the HiNotes app to transcribe and summarize meetings.
Allo is an AI-powered business phone system aimed at sales teams, support, and operations that records every call, transcribes it in real time, and syncs the recording, transcript, and an AI-generated summary to a CRM automatically. Positioned as mobile-native and quick to set up, it focuses on letting reps spend time selling rather than logging calls. Each conversation is recorded with consent-message compliance options, transcribed with speaker identification, and condensed into a shareable AI recap. Allo can then draft personalized follow-up emails and SMS based on what was discussed. The platform includes an AI receptionist for answering inbound calls, voicemail transcription, multi-tag organization of calls, and team collaboration features such as cascade ring and warm transfers. Managers can pull call recordings and AI transcripts to find coaching opportunities, while reporting dashboards surface connection rates, conversion tracking, funnels, and heatmaps. Allo integrates with CRMs including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, and Apollo, and exposes an MCP endpoint to connect the phone system to AI assistants. It is a live, operating product as of 2025/2026. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

HiDock is a hardware-and-software brand built around capturing meeting audio and turning it into transcripts and summaries through its companion HiNotes service. The product line includes USB-C docking stations such as the H1E and the O1 meeting-room dock, the HiDock P1 voice recorder for Bluetooth earphones, and the P1 mini for capturing phone calls and in-person conversations. The devices capture two-way audio from video calls, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings, including a proprietary BlueCatch technology that records through standard Bluetooth earbuds. Captured audio is sent to HiNotes, which auto-transcribes it and generates AI summaries using tailored templates organized by profession, such as sales, engineering, HR, and education. HiDock markets unlimited AI transcription across many languages, and because recording happens on the device or dock rather than through a meeting bot, no extra participant needs to join the call. The approach suits people who hold in-person or mixed meetings and want a dedicated capture device rather than a browser bot. HiNotes is available as a mobile and web app that turns recordings into searchable, actionable notes. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
