Read AI Pricing (2026): Free, Pro, Enterprise and Enterprise+ Plans, Limits and Team Costs

Read AI pricing plans at a glance

Free: 5 meetings a month, 1 hour each

The free plan includes summaries, transcripts, search, the meeting coach and the apps for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. The limit is 5 meeting reports a month, and Read’s help center says reports other people share with you count toward it. After the fifth, new reports show as “out of quota”. Read leaves a free meeting after 1 hour and builds the report from that hour.

Free accounts can’t join a workspace, upload audio or video files, or pick OpenAI and Anthropic models in Ask Read. Read keeps a free user’s text reports for up to 2 years and deletes recordings 180 days after the meeting; paid users’ reports are kept indefinitely.

Pro: unlimited meetings, no playback

Pro removes the meeting cap, raises the meeting length to 4 hours and adds priority processing, 100 minutes of audio and video uploads a month and the premium integrations, so notes can go to Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion or Jira. It costs $15 a month billed annually, $180 a year, or $19.75 month to month.

Pro has no playback: you get the transcript and the summary but can’t listen to or watch the meeting again. If you need that, compare tools that include it in Read AI alternatives.

Enterprise: playback and video highlights

Enterprise, which Read marks as its most popular plan, adds audio and video playback, video highlights, 200 upload minutes and premium support for $22.50 a month on annual billing, $270 a year, or $29.75 monthly. The meeting length stays at 4 hours. Despite the name, there’s no minimum: one person can buy it.

When you upgrade, Read reprocesses your reports from the past 30 days, so playback turns on for recent meetings and reports that were over the free limit unlock. Playback also ends with the plan. If you move from Enterprise down to Pro or Free, Read says you keep past notes and transcripts but lose audio and video playback on old reports too.

Enterprise+: compliance, SSO and 8-hour meetings

Enterprise+ needs at least 5 licenses and adds HIPAA compliance, SAML and SCIM, domain capture, a custom data retention policy, hosting in the EU or Canada, workspace onboarding and 300 upload minutes. Meetings can run up to 8 hours. At $29.75 per user a month on annual billing, the smallest team pays $1,785 a year; month to month it’s $39.75 per user.

What Read AI costs a team

Read sells individual licenses, and every license in a workspace has to be on the same plan. You can’t give Enterprise to the people who need playback and Pro to everyone else, and there’s no admin-only seat for someone who only manages billing. A license belongs to the seat, so you can reassign it when someone leaves. Not everyone in a meeting needs one: one person’s account creates the report and shares it, and viewers need only a free account, or none if the link is open to anyone. Yearly totals on annual billing:

Discounts: annual billing, volume, education and Zoom

Annual billing is the main discount: Read labels it 25%, and against the monthly prices it works out to about 24% on Pro and Enterprise and 25% on Enterprise+. Volume discounts start at 100 annual licenses with 10% off, then 15% from 500 and 20% from 1,000.

Students and staff at higher education institutions with a .edu address can buy EDU at $60 a year or EDU + Video, with playback and highlight reels, at $100 a year. Both are annual only, allow 4-hour meetings, and leave out workspaces and the premium integrations.

Nonprofits and charities buying 10 or more licenses can ask Read’s sales team for a discount; below 10 licenses Read doesn’t offer one.

Qualifying Zoom customers get a Zoom Apps plan from Read through Zoom’s Essential Apps, free for 12 months. It’s closer to Free than to Pro: transcripts and summaries for 5 meetings a month, meetings up to 60 minutes and no playback, though it adds a workspace for up to 10 users. After 12 months the account drops to Free unless you upgrade.

The Read AI free trial and its limits

Every new account gets a 7-day trial of Enterprise, with no credit card, and moves to Free when it ends, so nothing is charged by surprise. But the trial starts the moment you create the account and can’t be restarted, so signing up a few days before you have real meetings wastes it. It doesn’t include upload credits: testing file uploads means buying them at $20 per 500 minutes. And to try Read with colleagues, you have to set up the workspace and invite them inside those 7 days; once your trial has ended, a group trial goes through Read’s sales team.

After the trial you are on Free: 5 meetings a month, 1 hour each, and no playback, which is an Enterprise feature, so you can no longer replay the meetings recorded during the trial.

Read AI reviews: what users complain about

On 7 November 2026 Read AI had 4.0 out of 5 from 44 reviews on G2 and 1.4 out of 5 from 112 reviews on Trustpilot, where 89% of reviews give one star. Most of the Trustpilot complaints are about how Read spreads: the assistant turning up in meetings nobody invited it to, or still joining after the integration was removed; report e-mails to every attendee that lead them to sign up, after which Read starts joining their meetings too; and accounts that are hard to find and delete. Fewer reviews are about charges and slow support. On G2, the negatives reviewers raise most include integrations, support, price and summary quality.

Virginia Tech listed Read.ai among AI assistants not authorized for university use in March 2026, and Morgan State University named it among the note-taking bots it blocks from university Zoom meetings from June 2026, citing meeting data stored outside systems the university manages. If the assistant keeps joining your calls, the steps to remove it are in what is Read AI.

Billing rules to know before you pay

Read takes credit cards only, not PayPal. In a workspace the owner pays for everyone. Sharing one paid account between several people breaks Read’s terms of service. Read doesn’t refund subscriptions: if you forget to cancel before renewal, you keep access until the end of the period you paid for, and paid features stay on until then after a downgrade as well.

Which Read AI plan to choose

Free works for a few short meetings a month. Pro suits one person or a small team who wants unlimited notes in a CRM and doesn’t need to replay calls. Enterprise makes sense when playback matters, and Enterprise+ when security or data location does. If the price of playback is the problem, Fathom and tl;dv keep video recordings on their free plans and Fireflies adds video recording on Pro at $10; prices for eight tools are in Read AI alternatives.

Every Read plan writes notes after the meeting. Realtimer, which we make, helps during it: it runs on your Mac without joining the call, and when the client asks about price or terms you press a key and an answer from your own documents appears in about a second. It’s free with your own API keys or €29 a month on Pro, and it doesn’t keep audio or video.
