VOMO AI Review: Features, Free Plan and Limits

Sixty minutes, once. That's the free plan you'll find if you try VOMO AI today, and it's the fact older reviews still get wrong.

VOMO AI is a transcription and AI meeting notes app for iPhone, Android, Mac and the web, made by EverGrow Tech Inc. It's a decent pick if you'll pay for unlimited minutes, at $99.99 a year. It's a thin free option, because the 60 minutes don't refill.

This review is built from VOMO's own pages and its store listings, all read on November 9, 2026. We did not run our own tests on VOMO AI, so each fact names where it came from, and user reports are labelled as reports. We also make ParrotNotes, a phone-first note taker, so we have an interest. That comparison sits in one section near the end.

If you record conversations in person, you can try ParrotNotes free while you read.

VOMO AI in short

You record in the app, upload a file or paste a YouTube link. VOMO then returns a transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, plus a "Smart Note" with a summary, key takeaways, chapters and action items. You can question the transcript with Ask AI, share a public link, or export as PDF, HTML or TXT, according to the VOMO homepage.

Verdict: as of November 2026, it's priced well for heavy users who'll commit to a year. It's a weaker fit if you need a free plan you can keep using, CRM sync, or live text on your phone.

VOMO AI free plan: what you get

Here's the plan comparison from the VOMO pricing page, checked November 9, 2026.

Is VOMO AI free?

Only for a first try. VOMO's voice recorder page calls it "a one-time allowance of 60 transcription minutes". The pricing card shows "$0/Weekly", which can read like a weekly refill, but the same page's table says "60 minutes" with no period, and we found no VOMO page describing a reset.

So the free plan is a trial without a clock. Two 30-minute recordings use it up. A 45-minute lecture doesn't fit in one free file, so you'd have to split it first.

Compare that with the free plans in our best free transcription app guide, many of which refill every month or every day. The same VOMO page mentions a guest Audio to Text tool that takes one file of up to 25 MB and 30 minutes and shows a transcript preview, so you can see the output before you create an account.

VOMO AI pricing and what "Save 75%" means

VOMO Pro has three billing periods, and the yearly one carries a "Save 75%" badge. Here's the arithmetic over a full year.

Prices from the VOMO pricing page, checked November 9, 2026. The yearly costs are our own calculation.

So the badge is true against the weekly price. Against monthly, the real saving is 58%, which is still a good deal. Yearly works out to $8.33 a month, and $1.92 a week, the figure the page shows first.

The weekly plan only suits a short burst of work. Tomás, a graduate student with 30 interviews to clear in two weeks, could pay $15.98 and cancel. If he forgets to cancel for three months, he's spent $103.87, more than a full year would have cost. (Tomás is a composite, not a real person.)

One thing to check at checkout: the US App Store listing also shows in-app purchases at $71.99, $9.99 and $3.99, on top of $99.99, $19.99 and $7.99. It doesn't say who gets those prices, and neither do VOMO's pages, so trust the price on your own screen.

VOMO AI features on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows

The features aren't the same everywhere, and this is where the choice of device matters.

Sources: VOMO's recorder page and VOMO's App Store and Google Play listings, checked November 9, 2026.

Beyond recording, VOMO lists:

1. Smart Notes. Editable summaries, key takeaways and action items, with templates for sales calls, stand-ups and interviews. The homepage marks several of those templates as Pro.
2. Ask AI. Questions about one transcript, plus drafted follow-up emails and translations, per the App Store listing.
3. Live Mode. Words appear as you record. VOMO lists it for paid users, on Mac and web, in 27+ languages. That's fewer than the 90+ for regular transcription, and the phone apps aren't on that list.
4. Imports. MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4 and more, up to 10 files at once, plus YouTube links and Instagram Reels.
5. Connections. A VOMO CLI for tools like Claude Code and Codex, and a ChatGPT connection that reads your saved notes.

If you only have the audio on your phone already, our guide on how to transcribe a voice memo covers the free routes first.

Where VOMO's own pages disagree

We read VOMO's site and stores side by side on November 9, 2026, and these are the mismatches.

The 400,000 is VOMO's own number, repeated in a July 2026 press release. The store numbers we could see are far smaller: 406 US ratings on iPhone and "1K+" downloads on Google Play. Web users don't appear in either, so they aren't directly comparable, and we can't confirm the total either way.

Older reviews add to the confusion. The tl;dv review from March 2026, written by a competitor who did test the free plan and says so, reports 30 free minutes, iOS only and no timestamps. Toolradar's pricing page still shows 30 minutes. VOMO's site now lists 60 minutes, an Android app and timestamps, and its old English post "Is VOMO AI Free?" now returns a 410 error. Check any review's date before believing its numbers, including this one.

What VOMO AI doesn't do

VOMO is unusually frank about some of this. Its own comparison with Fireflies, dated June 4, 2026, says the following.

• No meeting bot. "VOMO doesn't have a meeting bot feature." Nothing joins your Zoom or Teams call. Some people will see that as a plus.
• No CRM sync or team analytics. "No deep integrations. If you need CRM sync or team analytics, VOMO won't help."

Our reading of its other pages adds three more:

• No phone call capture described. VOMO's recorder pages describe microphone recording in the room. We found nothing on capturing a phone call's audio.
• No live text listed for phones. Live Mode is listed for Mac and web.
• No recording past 3 hours per file, even on Pro.

Is VOMO AI safe?

VOMO is a real product. Its Google Play listing names the developer as EverGrow Tech Inc., with an address in Sunnyvale, California. Here's what its documents say about your recordings.

• Encryption: "encryption in transit and at rest", per the homepage FAQ. Play's data safety section confirms "in transit" only.
• Deletion: the privacy policy says deleted notes and account data are cleared after 30 days. Operational logs are kept indefinitely, separately from your notes.
• Sharing: the policy says VOMO doesn't share personal information without consent or a legal requirement. Results go to OpenAI or another provider if you connect an AI assistant yourself.
• Tracking: the App Store labels say identifiers may be used to track you across other companies' apps, and audio data is linked to your identity. Apple notes these labels are the developer's own and aren't verified.

Two gaps remain. The policy doesn't say whether recordings can be used to train AI models, and the pages we read name no SOC 2 certificate. If your work is sensitive, ask VOMO before you upload anything. And for health information, take the therapists page at its word: no protected health information. ParrotNotes makes no HIPAA claim either, so the same goes for us.

Whatever app you pick, ask before you record. VOMO's own page says to "get permission from the people involved", and our overview of one-party consent states explains the US rules. This is general information, not legal advice.

What VOMO AI users report

On the App Store, VOMO holds 4.5 out of 5 from 406 ratings, so read those as a small sample. These are individual reports, not tests.

The praise we read is mostly about summaries and support. One reviewer describes "top of the line support through its discord". The complaints are about accuracy and reliability. In a June 2025 review, one user sitting next to the recorder got a transcript that jumped between English and Japanese. In a reply dated December 4, 2025, the developer apologizes for two weeks of problems with imports and recordings, and offers a refund if it can't fix them.

That reply is the only refund statement we found. The Terms of Use, dated July 15, 2023, don't cover refunds or subscriptions at all. The App Store listing says you can turn off auto-renewal in your Account Settings. If you buy, set a reminder before the renewal date.

We couldn't read a Trustpilot profile for it on the day we checked, so we've left that out.

VOMO AI fit test: 5 questions

Answer yes or no:

1. Will you record or upload more than a few hours a month, every month?
2. Are you happy to pay for a year up front?
3. Do you work alone, with no CRM to feed?
4. Do your files run under 3 hours?
5. Are you on a Mac, or fine recording through the microphone?

Four or five yes answers: VOMO suits you. Use the 60 minutes on your hardest recording, then decide.

Three: it could go either way, so let the free hour decide.

Two or fewer: look at the options below.

Nadia is a freelance podcast producer on a Mac with long remote interviews every week, and she gets five yes answers. Ben is an Android field rep with three customer visits a month and a CRM to update, and he gets two. (Nadia and Ben are composites, not real people.)

VOMO AI alternatives and how they compare

Which alternative fits depends on how often you record and whether the free plan needs to last.

If your conversations happen in person: ParrotNotes

The trade here is plain, and on price VOMO wins. Pro at $99.99 a year with no minute cap beats ParrotNotes Pro at $179.88 a year for 3,000 minutes. VOMO's free tier also includes its 90+ languages, while ParrotNotes keeps its 99+ languages for Pro. VOMO's Mac app records system audio, and it offers YouTube transcripts. ParrotNotes isn't the cheaper tool for someone transcribing all day.

ParrotNotes makes more sense if you want a free plan that keeps working. You get 100 minutes every month, a summary on every recording, and AI action items and key points on 5 recordings a month. You open it on your phone, tap record and lock the screen, and it keeps going.

Here's Ben's month on the free plan. He asks each customer if he can record, puts his phone on the table for three 30-minute visits, and reads the summary in the car. That's 90 minutes, and next month he gets 100 more. On VOMO's free plan, he'd run out after the second visit, for good. If his visits grow, he'd pay for Pro on either app, and VOMO would be the cheaper one.

Try Ben's routine. Download ParrotNotes free, record your next in-person meeting with the other person's OK, and read the summary before you've left the parking lot.

The verdict of this VOMO AI review

As of November 2026, VOMO AI gives you unlimited minutes for $99.99 a year on iPhone, Android, Mac and the web, with 3-hour files, 90+ languages and Ask AI. The free plan is a one-time 60-minute taste, and its accuracy and user numbers differ from page to page, so don't lean on any single figure.

So use the free hour on your hardest recording, and judge it on that. If you're Nadia, with long interviews every week, Pro is easy to justify. If you're Ben, and you want a plan that refills each month for your next customer visit, get ParrotNotes free and have your notes before you're back in the car.
