Earmark vs ChatGPT for Meetings
ChatGPT records the notes. Earmark ships the work.
ChatGPT's record mode is a handy way to transcribe and summarize a meeting inside a tool you already pay for. Earmark is built for product and engineering teams: it captures botlessly across every platform and turns the live conversation into PRDs, Linear and Jira tickets, decision logs, and stakeholder updates — automatically, before the call ends.

Why product teams pick Earmark
From transcript to deliverable, automatically
ChatGPT record mode gives you a transcript and a summary canvas — then you prompt it to reshape that into tickets or a PRD. Earmark produces the deliverable directly, drafting the PRD and the Linear and Jira tickets without a manual pipeline.
Everywhere, not just macOS
ChatGPT record mode runs only in the macOS desktop app and auto-joins scheduled calls for Google Meet links alone. Earmark works across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in person — and captures device-side with no bot.
Built for teams, built for shipping
ChatGPT stores recordings as individual chat threads where personal and work context can blend. Earmark is built for shared product and engineering workflows, producing decision logs, acceptance criteria, and tickets in the formats your team executes with.
Trusted by product teams who ship through conversation
“Earmark transforms planning calls straight into PRDs and JIRA tickets. An indispensable PM tool that saves hours of documentation.”
“No other AI transcription tool gives this level of flexibility. Cuts my admin time by about 75%.”
“Earmark is far beyond a basic meeting tool — task agents build summaries, follow-ups, and deliverables while we’re still talking.”
Questions?
What is the difference between Earmark and ChatGPT record mode?
Earmark automatically turns live meetings into deliverables like PRDs and Linear and Jira tickets across every platform with botless capture. ChatGPT record mode produces a transcript and summary canvas on the macOS desktop app, which the user then reshapes manually.
Is Earmark cheaper than ChatGPT for meetings?
ChatGPT record mode is included in paid ChatGPT plans at no extra cost, so it can be cheaper for existing subscribers. Earmark starts at $8/month as a dedicated platform built to produce meeting deliverables automatically rather than through manual prompting.
Does Earmark work on Windows?
Yes. Earmark works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and in-person meetings on Windows, web, and mobile. ChatGPT record mode is currently limited to the macOS desktop app.
Can Earmark replace ChatGPT for meetings?
Earmark replaces ChatGPT record mode for teams whose goal is meeting-driven deliverables. ChatGPT remains a general-purpose assistant, so individuals may still keep it for ad-hoc transcription and summaries.
Who should use ChatGPT instead of Earmark?
Individuals who want lightweight, included transcription and summaries on macOS, and who are comfortable prompting ChatGPT to reshape notes, should use ChatGPT record mode instead of Earmark.
