Aura Meet vs Microsoft Copilot
Microsoft Copilot can transcribe Teams meetings — but at $30/user/month, locked to the Microsoft ecosystem, and with all audio processed in the cloud.
The cost and lock-in problem
Microsoft Copilot requires a Microsoft 365 E3/E5 subscription plus a Copilot license at $30/user/month. It only works inside Microsoft Teams — if you use Zoom, Google Meet, or have in-person meetings, Copilot can't help. Aura Meet works with any meeting, anywhere, at a fraction of the cost.

$9.99 vs $30/user/month
For a team of 10, Microsoft Copilot costs $300/month just for meeting features — and that's on top of your existing Microsoft 365 subscription. Aura Meet Pro costs $9.99/month per user with no prerequisites, no enterprise agreements, and no IT department required.
Privacy Shield: On-device vs. Microsoft's cloud
Microsoft Copilot processes all meeting audio through Azure cloud infrastructure. Your conversations are transcribed, analyzed, and stored on Microsoft's servers — creating potential exposure for sensitive discussions.
Aura Meet's Privacy Shield takes a fundamentally different approach: all transcription and AI processing happens on-device. Zero audio is ever uploaded to any server — not ours, not Microsoft's, not anyone's. Learn more about our privacy architecture →
