Common questions

What people ask about Hedy AI

Straight answers to what buyers actually ask, drawn from the documentation and published user reports.

Is the $179 AppSumo lifetime deal worth it compared to monthly subscriptions?
Yes, for professionals conducting regular meetings. At $99.99/year official pricing, the $179 lifetime deal pays for itself in ~21 months of annual subscription costs. If you use Hedy for 2+ years, the lifetime purchase saves money. The 60-day money-back guarantee reduces risk. However, casual users or those primarily needing post-meeting summaries may prefer the $12.99/month Pro plan for flexibility.
Can Hedy transcribe phone calls or video calls on Zoom/Teams/Google Meet?
Yes. On macOS and Windows, the native desktop apps capture system audio directly from any platform (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, etc.) without plugins. On mobile, use the device microphone with speaker mode or place the phone near external speakers. However, phone-to-phone calls present limitations; the product works best on computer-based calls or in-person meetings.
Does Hedy train AI models on my conversations?
No. The company explicitly states strict agreements with AI providers prohibit using your conversations for model training. Conversations are processed for immediate insights, then discarded. Users concerned with data privacy can opt for on-device processing or EU Data Residency. The SOC 2 Type I examination (April 2026) and HIPAA assessment support these claims.
Who should <em>not</em> buy this?
Skip Hedy if you only need basic transcription, primarily attend passive lectures (where live suggestions aren't useful), work in a field where Hedy's generic suggestions won't add value, or prefer month-to-month flexibility without upfront commitment. Some experienced professionals report suggestions lack novelty for senior-level expertise.
Is there a free way to try Hedy?
Yes. Hedy offers a permanent Free tier providing 5 hours monthly of real-time transcription, AI insights, and summaries—no credit card required. This allows substantial trial before committing to the $179 lifetime purchase.
