Meeting recording API – why Cronofy beats Recall.ai
Cronofy Meeting Agents run entirely on Cronofy’s integrated infrastructure. They are built around where data runs and who has access to it, and have reliability, scalability and compliance built-in.
One integration, the whole meeting workflow
Cronofy has spent over a decade solving the hardest parts of meeting workflows. Whereas Recall.ai attaches a bot to a calendar invite, Cronofy owns the whole workflow: scheduling, availability, recording, and what happens after the meeting ends, all in a single integration.

Does Cronofy use any subprocessors for meeting recording or transcription?
No. Cronofy does not use any subprocessors for recording or transcription. No customer data leaves Cronofy's infrastructure at any point in the process.
What ISO certifications do Cronofy and Recall.ai hold?
Cronofy is certified to ISO 27001, 27701, and 27018. ISO 27701 covers data privacy management. ISO 27018 covers protection of personal data in the cloud. Recall.ai holds ISO 27001 but not 27701 or 27018.
How long do Cronofy and Recall.ai retain meeting data?
Cronofy stores all meeting data for 7 days as standard. Recall.ai retains audio and video for 7 days but transcription data for 42 days. Their default retention policy is indefinite unless deletion is requested via API.
What is the most GDPR-compliant way to record and transcribe meetings via API?
Cronofy Meeting Agents run on Cronofy's EU-based infrastructure with no subprocessors. No customer data leaves Cronofy's own infrastructure. GDPR compliance is standard on every plan, with all recording and transcription processed only in your selected region across six dedicated data centres. Recall.ai offers three regions and routes Japan transcription to the US. Per their privacy policy, all personal data is processed in the United States.
How do I connect meeting recordings back to calendar events and attendee data automatically?
With Cronofy, transcripts and summaries are tied to the calendar event and scheduling context from the start. With Recall.ai, linking recording data back to calendar and attendee context is something you build yourself.
How do I add meeting recording and scheduling to my application without building two separate integrations?
Cronofy handles both through a single API. Calendar sync, availability, scheduling, and meeting capture in one layer. Recall.ai handles recording only, so you would need to build or buy the scheduling side separately.
Is Recall.ai HIPAA compliant?
Not on their PAYG plan. Recall.ai's HIPAA compliance BAA applies to their enterprise plan only. Cronofy is HIPAA compliant on every plan.
