Echo or tl;dv: which one suits you?
tl;dv and Echo both store data in Europe and charge in euros. The differences are which AI processes your meetings, which platforms the assistant joins and what you can do with the recording afterwards. Here they are, using the information on their website.
In short
tl;dv has its data centres in Europe, works with Anthropic as its AI provider and its assistant joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. Echo uses its own AI on Edorteam’s EU servers, is built for Spanish and adds subtitles, dubbing and clips. If your meetings are on Zoom or Meet, tl;dv is the better fit; if you want no third-party AI to see your meetings, Echo is.
