Dicte and Recapro: four verified differences
Findings from dicte.ai on October 16, 2026. Both tools are French; the differences concern the pricing grid and a few features.
On-site installation price
DicteBOX is part of Dicte’s Enterprise offer, on quote, with a 10-licence minimum and an annual subscription. Recapro publishes the price of Fortress On-Premise: €19.90/seat/month, 10 seats minimum, hardware extra from €4,990.
Cloud plans
Dicte shows a free plan of 120 minutes per month and a Plus plan at €19.99/user/month, or €9.92 per month billed annually; its Business (3 licences minimum) and Enterprise (10 licences minimum) plans are on quote. Recapro shows Cloud Team at €22.90/user/month (€17.90 billed annually), from 5 users, and 300 free minutes for life.
Private debrief
Recapro separates the shared summary from a private debrief that you dictate after the meeting. We found no equivalent feature documented on dicte.ai as of October 16, 2026.
Pseudonymisation and encryption
Dicte pseudonymises transcripts before any processing by its models and encrypts text at rest with a post-quantum algorithm (Kyber). Recapro currently offers neither automatic pseudonymisation nor post-quantum encryption.

Published on-site installation price
The Fortress On-Premise grid is public: €19.90/seat/month, 10 seats minimum, i.e. €199/month, plus hardware from €4,990. DicteBOX is offered on quote.
Private debrief
After the meeting, you dictate a confidential debrief: impressions, weak signals, figures. It stays separate from the shared summary.

Dicte and Recapro: frequently asked questions
01
Dicte or Recapro: which is more sovereign?
Both are French publishers. Dicte processes audio on servers in Paris (Scaleway) and stores data in France or the EU depending on the plan. Recapro Cloud: data at rest in France at Scaleway (Postgres and object storage, fr-par region); in transit, Cloudflare terminates TLS. Both commit not to train models on your content and both offer an on-site installation. The differences concern the pricing grid and a few features.
02
What is the difference for on-site installation?
Dicte offers DicteBOX in its Enterprise plan, on quote, with a 10-licence minimum and an annual subscription. Recapro publishes the Fortress On-Premise grid: €19.90/seat/month, 10 seats minimum, i.e. €199/month, plus hardware from €4,990.
03
Does Recapro pseudonymise and encrypt like Dicte?
Dicte pseudonymises transcripts before processing by its models and encrypts text at rest with a post-quantum algorithm (Kyber). These are two strengths. Recapro currently offers neither automatic pseudonymisation nor post-quantum encryption. It encrypts data in transit and at rest, and Fortress On-Premise keeps it on your servers.
04
Does Recapro have a private debrief mode?

05
Can I record without a connection?
With Recapro, yes: the mobile app records offline, then transcription runs on our servers once the network is back, or locally with Fortress On-Premise. According to its privacy policy, Dicte stores recordings on the device before transferring them to its servers for transcription, and its DicteBOX unit allows local processing in the Enterprise offer.
06
