MEETGEEK VS RECAPRO
The MeetGeek alternative that eliminates CLOUD Act risk
MeetGeek hosts on AWS Ireland (Amazon US subsidiary, subject to CLOUD Act). Recapro hosts in France or on your own servers, outside both direct AND indirect CLOUD Act jurisdiction.
Why pick Recapro over MeetGeek?
Six points verified on meetgeek.ai (April 2026).
AWS Ireland = indirect CLOUD Act
MeetGeek hosts on AWS Ireland. AWS = subsidiary of Amazon.com Inc. (US), bound by CLOUD Act. US authorities can compel Amazon US to disclose EU-stored data. GDPR does not protect against a CLOUD Act injunction.
No full offline mode
MeetGeek mobile can record in-person but transcription and summaries are cloud-only. Recapro transcribes locally on smartphone, airplane mode included.
No real on-premise
MeetGeek pricing JSON-LD mentions "on-premise options" Enterprise but no public page or documentation confirms it. The open-source MCP Server self-hosting is an API bridge, not service on-prem. Recapro offers a real on-premise from €199/month (1-10 seat tier) published.
Visible MeetGeek bot
MeetGeek Notetaker bot joins Zoom/Teams/Meet as a visible participant. No-bot mode only via Chrome extension. Recapro = recording from mobile app, no bot.
USD pricing
MeetGeek pricing in USD: Basic free 3h/month, Pro $9.99, Business $17. Exchange rate exposure. Recapro: Cloud Team €22.90/user/month (€17.90 annual) fixed in EUR.
Heavily limited free plan
MeetGeek Free: 3h/month transcription, 2h max sessions, 1-3 month retention. To evaluate long-term, you must upgrade.

What Recapro does that MeetGeek does not
Five structural capabilities absent.
Outside CLOUD Act direct AND indirect
France-Nuage (Vendée) + Scaleway (Paris), or on-premise. MeetGeek on AWS Ireland = Amazon US subsidiary, indirect CLOUD Act exposure.
Real Fortress on-premise from €199/mo
Direct install (Kubernetes, dedicated, air-gapped). MeetGeek mention of "on-premise options" Enterprise is undocumented; open-source MCP Server is not a service on-prem.
Full offline mode
Local smartphone transcription, airplane mode. MeetGeek mobile records in-person but transcription is cloud-only.
No bot in meetings
Recapro records from participant’s mobile app. MeetGeek sends Notetaker bot as visible participant (no-bot mode only via Chrome extension).
Structured private/public debrief mode
Recapro structurally separates official summary and private debrief. MeetGeek = 3 sharing levels (private/restricted/public) at recording level, no debrief workflow.
Fixed EUR pricing
Recapro Cloud Team €22.90/user/month (€17.90 annual) posted in EUR. MeetGeek: $17/month USD, exchange rate exposure.

MeetGeek vs Recapro: frequently asked questions
01
MeetGeek is in Romania/Ireland — is it sovereign for France?
MeetGeek EU (Aivision Products Srl, Bucharest) is outside direct CLOUD Act jurisdiction. But the AWS Ireland infrastructure belongs to Amazon.com Inc. (US), subject to CLOUD Act. US authorities can compel Amazon US to disclose AWS Ireland data. For full sovereignty, Recapro hosts on France-Nuage + Scaleway (no US cloud) or customer on-premise.
02
Is there a real on-premise version of MeetGeek?
Indeterminate / probably not. MeetGeek pricing page mentions "on-premise options" in its Enterprise JSON-LD, but no public page or documentation confirms it. MeetGeek offers an open-source self-hostable MCP Server — that’s an API bridge, not service on-prem. Recapro offers a real on-premise from €199/month (1-10 seat tier) published.
03
Does MeetGeek use my transcripts to train its models?
No on raw data. MeetGeek DPA (section 1a) limits processing to service delivery. Section 8 allows use of "de-identified, anonymized, and/or aggregated" data to improve systems — derivatives, not raw transcripts. Recapro applies zero-training on all data forms.
04
Does MeetGeek have a private/public debrief mode like Recapro?
Partially. MeetGeek offers 3 sharing levels (private/restricted/public) at the recording level. Recapro goes further: structured debrief workflow that separates the official shareable summary from a private debrief containing your impressions, weak signals and strategy.
05
Does MeetGeek work without internet?
Not fully. MeetGeek mobile can record in-person but transcription and AI summaries require connection to cloud servers upon reconnection. Recapro transcribes locally on smartphone, even in airplane mode.
06
How does Recapro pricing compare to MeetGeek?
MeetGeek Business: $17/user/month (~€16). Recapro Cloud Team: €22.90/user/month (€17.90 annual). The gap pays for: France or on-premise hosting (no indirect CLOUD Act), full offline mode, structured private/public debrief mode, fixed EUR pricing without exchange rate exposure.
