| actions.xyz | tl;dv | |
|---|---|---|

| Install required | None — zero install, works on any OS | Bot-free capture requires the desktop app |

| Assign tasks by email to non-users | Yes — assignees never need an account | No — you can tag teammates with a link to the moment, but we found no documented way to assign a task to a non-user |

The workflow gap
They transcribe the meeting. We turn it into a pipeline.
tl;dv extracts action items and lets you tag teammates with a timestamped link, but tasks leave the product through reports and Zapier — there is no board and no way we could find to hand a task to someone outside the tool. And the free plan deserves a careful read: by tl;dv’s own help center, free AI limits "are for the lifetime of the account, they do not renew monthly", and free recordings are deleted after 3 months.
Transcription is table stakes in 2026 — every tool on this page does it. The gap is what happens after the call: a summary nobody re-opens, or a pipeline that actually moves. actions.xyz turns each commitment into a card on a kanban board and lets you assign it to anyone by email — even people who have never signed up — so the meeting ends with work in motion, not a document.
FAQ
actions.xyz vs tl;dv — common questions
Is tl;dv’s free plan really unlimited?
Recordings are unlimited, but the AI is not: per tl;dv’s official help center, the free plan includes full AI notes for your first 10 meetings, then AI notes cover only the first 10 minutes of each meeting — and these limits are for the lifetime of the account, not monthly. Free recordings are also archived after 3 days and auto-deleted after 3 months. The actions.xyz free plan is 5 meetings every month, renewing monthly.
Does tl;dv use a meeting bot?
Yes — the tl;dv Notetaker joins as a participant and must be admitted from the waiting room; Google Meet now labels it a "potential risk" on join. tl;dv shipped a desktop app with bot-free local capture in 2026, but that requires an install. actions.xyz records in the browser with no bot and nothing to install.
Can tl;dv assign action items to people without accounts?
We found no documented way. tl;dv lets you tag teammates (email/Slack link to a timestamped moment) and push items to Asana, Trello, Notion, or 6,000+ Zapier apps — where the assignee needs that tool. actions.xyz assigns tasks to any email address natively.
How much does tl;dv cost?
Per independent pricing trackers (tl;dv’s pricing page requires JavaScript, so verify there): Pro is around $18/user/mo annual ($29 monthly) and Business around $59/user/mo annual ($98 monthly). actions.xyz runs $15–63/mo annual across Starter, Pro, and Team — with no jump like tl;dv’s Pro-to-Business cliff.
When is tl;dv the better choice?
When you want Multi-Meeting AI Reports — scheduled AI digests that query across every meeting you’ve recorded. That is a genuinely differentiated feature actions.xyz doesn’t have. Its language coverage and integration catalog are also much larger.
Your next meeting can end with a moving pipeline.
Record in the browser — no bot, nothing to install. Action items land on a kanban and go out by email to anyone. 5 meetings free, every month.
