Choose Reline if you want Jamie's clean summaries plus full speaker-separated transcripts on every plan, a collaborative notepad, reusable Lenses, and a free tier with unlimited notes.

What Reline does that Jamie doesn't.
Jamie proved you can build a beautiful summary engine. Reline ships the same summaries with full speaker-separated transcripts (Me vs Other — mic vs system audio) on every plan, plus a collaborative notepad, reusable AI templates, and a web app you can use from any browser — no installation required.
Use Reline from any browser — web app at reline.so, no install needed. Native desktop apps (macOS, Windows, Linux) are optional.
Full speaker-separated transcripts (Me vs Other — mic vs system audio) on every plan, including free — no paywall on the source data.
AI summaries cite the exact transcript segment that justifies each point — never hallucinated.
Notion-grade collaborative editor — your team co-edits the note, not just reads the summary.
Reusable Lenses for Sales · Discovery · Standup · Design review · Customer interview.
Multi-note Lenses roll up an entire folder into a single executive summary or weekly digest.
RAG chat across notes, folders, and workspaces.
Push to Slack, Linear, Notion when you want (rolling out).
SSO, audit log, and granular per-note permissions on the Enterprise plan.

When Jamie is the better choice
Choose Jamie over Reline if EU data residency is a hard requirement: Jamie is a German company that hosts and processes all data exclusively on servers in Frankfurt under GDPR, deletes audio after transcription, and never uses your data to train models. It also natively captures both online and in-person meetings across 100+ languages with a dedicated desktop and iPhone app.
Switching from Jamie
- Is Reline a good Jamie alternative?
- Yes. Reline gives you the same clean meeting summaries Jamie offers, plus full speaker-separated transcripts (Me vs Other) on all plans, citation-backed AI summaries, a real-time collaborative notepad, and a web app you can use from any browser without installing anything.
- Can I use Reline from my browser?
- Yes. Reline's full editor is available at reline.so — sign in and start taking notes in any browser on any device. The desktop apps (macOS, Windows, Linux) are optional if you prefer to install.
- Does Jamie have a web app?
- Jamie has a web dashboard at app.meetjamie.ai for reviewing and managing notes, but recording meetings requires installing the native desktop app or iOS app. Reline's web app is a full-featured editor for both recording and note-taking.
- Does Jamie give me the full transcript?
- Jamie historically paywalled full transcripts behind paid tiers and emphasised summaries instead. Reline ships full speaker-separated transcripts (Me vs Other) on every plan, including the free tier.
- How is Reline different from Jamie for note-taking?
- Jamie is summary-first; the notepad is thin. Reline is built on a Notion-grade collaborative editor (Tiptap + ProseMirror) so the transcript, the summary, and your live notes all live in the same document — and your team can co-edit them in real-time.
- Can Reline replace Jamie for German-speaking teams?
- Reline's product UI is fully localised in German, and transcription supports German and 60+ languages.
- How much does Reline cost vs Jamie?
- Reline is free for solo note-takers (1 hour per note, 10 hours of transcription / month), $15/user/month on Professional ($12 billed annually), and $32/user/month on Enterprise ($26 billed annually) with SSO and audit log. Jamie Plus is €25/month (20 meeting credits, 2-hour cap), Pro is €47/month (unlimited meetings, 3-hour cap), and the Team plan is €39/seat/month.
- Does Reline work on Linux?
- Yes. Reline ships a native Linux app (AppImage for x64 and arm64), plus the web app at reline.so works on any device. Jamie does not offer a Linux app.
- Reline vs Jamie: which is better?
- Reline is better if you want full speaker-separated transcripts on every plan, a collaborative team notepad, reusable Lenses, and unlimited notes on the free tier. Jamie is better if strict EU data residency is non-negotiable — all processing stays in Frankfurt — or you need native in-person capture in 100+ languages.
