After a year and a half with it, the Plaud Note is still my favourite AI recorder, and it's 20% off on Prime Day
Excellent speech recognition and ever-improving AI tools, easy user interface, and now at a better price than ever. If I didn't have it already, I'd be ordering it now.
When I first reviewed the Plaud Note AI recorder, I gave it a relatively mild 7.8 out of 10, which translates to just under 4 stars.
I liked it, but I didn't love it. So why, after trying out about 8 other AI recorders since then, am I still using the Plaud Note?
Because since its release, it's only gotten better.
The transcription software on board, along with its summarisation tools, have gone from strength to strength. Speech recognition has evolved from good to best-in-the-business, and the template community, where users contribute their own templates for all sorts of uses, has become a hub for a host of fantastic templates such as meeting secretary modes and all manner of interview formats.
Add to that the growing intelligence of the AI machine underpinning the whole thing, and tools such as Plaud Team, which is a centralised smart remote workspace that automates a lot of office admin, and we're onto a real winner here.
And now their entire lineup of AI recorders is on sale over Prime Day, with up to 20% knocked off the sticker price.
That includes the OG, the Plaud Note (which I use every time I can), down to $119 (was $149), the Plaud Note Pin S (a clever wearable recorder that I've also tried, and liked a lot), down to $135 from $159, and the Plaud Note Pro (the OG after drinking a case of Red Bull).
And the best thing? You don't have to be a Prime member, because these discounts are also available on Plaud's own website!
The Plaud Note is built for hybrid work, capturing calls and in‑person meetings anywhere. It records in 112 languages, tags speakers, and turns conversations into structured notes you can use instantly. Slim, portable, and designed to keep you focused while it handles the admin.
The Plaud Note Pin S is a hands‑free AI recorder that clips on and goes, arriving with four accessories included. It captures conversations automatically, highlights key moments, and syncs everything to Plaud Intelligence for fast, multidimensional summaries.
The Plaud Note Pro is the most advanced model, intended for teams and larger spaces. It uses four MEMS mics with intelligent noise isolation for clearer audio, auto‑switches between call and in‑person modes, and feeds everything into Plaud Intelligence for deep, structured outputs.
