How much does it cost to build an AI meeting-notes tool?
Figuring out how to estimate the cost of an AI meeting-notes tool is one of the first budgeting questions AI teams hit. Built for teams building meeting summarizers, this tool skips the generic rate card and gives you a working estimate you can tune to your traffic. The result reacts live as you adjust the inputs.

Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: you pay to transcribe every minute of audio and then to summarize a long transcript, so meeting length hits you twice. In practice the biggest savings come from transcribing with a cheaper model and summarizing in chunks, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by adding per-minute transcription across meeting length to the summarization cost of the resulting transcript. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
Frequently asked questions
What are the two cost components?+
Speech-to-text per minute of audio, then LLM summarization of the transcript tokens.
How long a meeting can I afford?+
The calculator shows cost per meeting-minute so you can set a sensible cap or price.
Are these prices up to date?+
Yes. The model prices behind this calculator are refreshed and reviewed daily, so your estimate reflects current provider rates rather than a stale snapshot.
