These two tools are more alike than any other pair on this site. Both record from your desktop with no bot in the call, both keep the video, both write the notes. The difference is who they are built for, and what you pay.
Short answer: if you are one person or a small team who wants botless recording with the video kept and the notes written, Jotted does that for $14 a month with no length cap on any plan. Bluedot does the same core job well, but its $18 entry tier is audio only and caps a single recording at one hour, and its full version is aimed at companies that need CRM integrations, SSO and admin controls.
One thing to check on any comparison, including this one: most tools in this category advertise the price you pay when you commit to a year. Jotted's $14 is the monthly price with no annual commitment, so compare it against their monthly rate, not their annual one.
Pick Bluedot if you need those integrations. Pick Jotted if you do not, and would rather keep the difference.
Bluedot is aimed at bigger companies with CRM and ATS integrations most freelancers will never open. You end up paying for a sales stack you do not use.
Their cheaper plan is audio only and caps how long one recording can be. If you record client calls and want to keep what was on screen, you are on the higher plan.
One person, a laptop, and a few client calls a week does not need enterprise anything. It needs a recorder that keeps the video and stays out of the way.

Bluedot is the better choice if your calls need to end up in a CRM or an applicant tracking system automatically. That is real work and Jotted does not do it. Same if your company requires single sign-on, or if an admin needs to manage recordings across a team, which Jotted deliberately does not offer yet.
They are also a larger company with apps on more platforms. If you need a Mac app today, Jotted is Windows first with Mac coming after, and that is a fair reason to choose them.
Bluedot deserves credit. They proved the idea works: you do not need a bot sitting in the participant list to get a recording and a set of notes. Recording from the desktop is better in almost every way, and they got there first.
The split is about who each one is for. Bluedot sells to companies. That is why the feature list runs into CRM logging, applicant tracking, single sign-on and admin controls, and why the price reflects a tool that has to satisfy a procurement conversation.
Jotted is for the person on the other end of the client call. No CRM, no SSO, no admin console. Record the call, keep the video, get the transcript with real names, the summary and the action items, and share it with a link when someone needs to see it. Fourteen dollars, and the launch price is locked in for as long as you stay subscribed.
Two things worth checking yourself. Recording length, since Jotted has no cap on any plan including free, and whichever Bluedot tier you would actually be on may. And the billing basis, because headline prices in this category are often the annual rate. Jotted's $14 is what you pay each month with nothing to commit to.
The core is similar: both record without a bot, both keep the video, both write the notes afterwards. The difference is scope. Bluedot adds CRM and ATS integrations, SSO and admin controls for larger companies. Jotted leaves those out and charges $14 a month instead.
No. Bluedot records from the desktop the same way Jotted does, so nothing appears in the participant list. That is what makes them the closest comparison on this site.
On its video tier, yes. Its cheaper entry tier is audio only and caps how long a single recording can be. Jotted keeps the video on every plan and never caps length.
Jotted, on price and simplicity. A freelancer is unlikely to use CRM logging or SSO, which is most of what the higher Bluedot price buys.
Yes. The free plan records unlimited meetings of any length and transcribes every word on your own computer, forever, with no card. Pro adds the summary, action items with owners, cloud backup and sharing.
Record free forever, no card and no bot. Join the waitlist and you'll be first in.
