The three to remember
Included in Workspace; the best price-to-integration ratio.
- · Utility 9/10, best of the selection
- · Paid, from €12
- · No known security caveat
The local alternative to Otter or tl;dv: 100% on-device transcription, summaries via Ollama locally. The right choice when meetings are confidential.
- · Utility 8/10
- · Free tier to get started
- · No known security caveat
The reference for marketing skills; install à la carte (copywriting, seo-audit, ai-seo, pricing) rather than the full pack.
- · Utility 7/10
- · Free, no limits
- · No known security caveat

Method
Overall score = utility (rated by the editorial team), reliability (GitHub activity, official publisher, reachable site), security (where data goes, permissions, known incidents) and accessibility (install, required level, price), weighted per category. A tool inactive for over six months is flagged and leaves the recommendations. No ranking is sold.
