Frequently asked questions
tl;dv offers unlimited free recording. Why choose Noted?

Noted provides relationship intelligence across all your meetings. Contact profiles that grow over time, interaction history, and relationship health scores. Richer than summary reports.

Noted Personal is $19/mo vs. tl;dv Pro at $25/user/mo. Noted includes a full auto-built CRM, commitment tracking, and pre-meeting briefs. Features tl;dv does not offer.
