Overview

Tetra dials into your calls — invite bot@asktetra.com from your calendar or start a call in the web app — and transcribes them automatically. Trained human editors then correct the automatic speech recognition, with no editor hearing more than 15 seconds of a call. Notes can be read, played back, searched, shared by link and exported to document tools.

Teams on phone or conference calls who want searchable, human-checked transcripts afterwards

Plus is $100/month for 3 hours of transcription and Pro is $300/month for 10 hours, with custom plans by email and a free first hour.

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

  • Documentation

    Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

  • Agent friendliness

    How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

  • Changelog

    A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

  • Marketing site structure

    Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.

  • Page speed

    How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.

  • Operational trust

    Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

  • MCP supportnot counted in this category

    Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

  • Openness

    Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
