The full guide

Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.

Short answer: Alori is a tl;dv alternative for small software companies and agencies that want each Zoom, Meet or Teams call recorded and its notes filed on the right customer and deal, in the same app as their CRM, phones and quotes. Alori Recorder for Mac records from your computer with no bot, and Leo, the AI sales assistant, coaches reps from the calls. There is no tl;dv import, so you bring the meetings that matter as files and record the next ones in Alori.

Why teams leave tl;dv

tl;dv is a well-made AI notetaker with a free plan, many languages and syncs to HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive. Teams leave it for three reasons:

tl;dv writes the notes, then syncs them into a CRM you pay for separately.
tl;dv usually joins as a bot; its desktop app records without one.
Customers who call your business number never reach a video notetaker.

What you pay

tl;dv, as listed on its pricing page in November 2026, in euros per seat:

Team of 5	tl;dv	Alori
Notes	Pro: €90 a month billed yearly (€18 a seat), €145 monthly	Solo from $99 a month, everyone included
More features	Business: €145 a month billed yearly (€29 a seat), €195 monthly	Business from $249 a month
CRM and phones	A separate CRM	Built in
Free plan	Yes	Yes, no card

Recording and notes in Alori use your plan's credits. See pricing.

What Alori replaces

Alori Recorder for Mac records the Zoom and Teams apps, and Meet, Zoom, Teams, Webex and Whereby in any browser, plus FaceTime and Slack huddles. It starts by itself when a call takes your microphone and follows you when you share your screen.
A transcript with who said what, a summary and next steps land in Meetings, linked to the customer. Click Create the task beside a next step.
Alori video meetings: send a link, and guests join in their browser with no account and see that the meeting is recorded.
Calls on your business number get a recording, a transcript and a summary too. See calls.
Ask about one meeting, or ask Sam "What did Orbit Labs say about onboarding?" across every past call.
Leo scores each recorded sales call out of 10 with better words to say, and sends each rep their week.
Customers, deals, quotes and invoices in the same app.

What Alori doesn't do yet

The recorder is Mac only (macOS 15 or later). On Windows, import the recording after the call.
No shareable video clips or highlight reels.
tl;dv says it transcribes more than 100 languages; Alori's app is in English and French.
No sync to an outside CRM: the notes stay in Alori's own CRM.

If you only want free meeting notes and already live in another CRM, tl;dv may be the simpler choice.

How to switch

Start free. Describe your business. Alori builds your app with customers, deals and Meetings.
Bring your customers. Import data brings them from HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM or GoHighLevel, or paste a list into Ask Sam: "Add these customers:".
Bring the meetings that matter. Download the recordings or transcripts you want to keep from tl;dv and import each in Meetings › Import (.mp4, .m4a, .vtt, .srt, .txt or .docx, up to 4 hours).
Install Alori Recorder for Mac. Your next call records by itself, with no bot.

Questions

Another question? Ask it when you start.

Yes, if you want calls recorded with no bot and the notes on the customer, next to their deals and quotes. If you need a notetaker on Windows or in many languages, tl;dv fits better.

For a team that also pays for a CRM, yes: Alori's Solo plan is $99 a month for everyone, with the CRM, phones and notes included. Both have a free plan.

There is no tl;dv import. Import the recordings or transcripts you saved one at a time in Meetings, and Alori writes the summary and next steps. Alori imports whole libraries from Fathom, Granola and Claap.

No. Alori Recorder records from your own Mac, with nothing joining the meeting.

Small software companies and agencies, usually under 50 people. See meeting notes to tasks.
