What is Comu Note Pro?
Comu Note Pro is a pocket recorder with one record key, a 0.78-inch monochrome screen and an aluminum alloy body that is 85.7 x 51.7 x 3.1 mm, the size of a credit card. It records conversations and sends them to the Comu app over Bluetooth, and the app transcribes them, labels the speakers and writes summaries.
The Comu app on iOS and Android does the transcription and the writing, and Comu also has a desktop app for Windows and Mac and Comu Web.
Comu Note Pro comes in silver, black and orange. The box holds the recorder, a magnetic case, a magnetic ring, a magnetic charging cable, an OTG adapter and a quick start guide. Comu Note Pro and Comu Action Pro use the same app and the same Comu AI, and the two devices differ in hardware only.

Comu Note Pro records for 45 hours continuously and stays on standby for 107 days. 45 hours is a little under two full days of nonstop recording (1.9 days), and a single charge supports a week or more of intensive meetings. The charging cable is magnetic, and Comu advises against high-voltage fast chargers for it.
The 16 GB of storage holds about 500 hours of recording at 32 kbps. Recordings transfer to the app in the background after the Bluetooth connection is made. Bluetooth is the default, and switching to Wi-Fi speeds up the transfer of long recordings.

How much does Comu Note Pro cost over 1 and 2 years?
Comu Note Pro costs $128.99 for one year and $128.99 for two years on the plan that comes with it, and $248.98 to $608.87 in year one if you add a paid plan (Nov 13, 2026). The totals below are an arithmetic example. The inputs are the $128.99 store price and the in-app plan prices, and the sums were computed by script. The Starter row covers unlimited real-time transcription, speaker identification, basic summaries and 113 languages, and none of those items needs a subscription. Premium and Elite add the items listed in the plan section below.
| Comu Note Pro with | 1-year total | 2-year total |
|---|---|---|
| Starter ($0) | $128.99 | $128.99 |
| Premium, billed yearly ($119.99 a year) | $248.98 | $368.97 |
| Premium, billed monthly ($14.99 a month) | $308.87 | $488.75 |
| Elite, billed yearly ($359.99 a year) | $488.98 | $848.97 |
| Elite, billed monthly ($39.99 a month) | $608.87 | $1,088.75 |
The arithmetic: Premium billed yearly is $128.99 plus $119.99 for one year, and $128.99 plus $239.98 for two. Premium billed monthly is $14.99 times 12, which is $179.88 a year, so billing yearly saves $59.89 a year. Elite billed yearly is $128.99 plus $359.99 for one year, and $128.99 plus $719.98 for two. Elite billed monthly is $39.99 times 12, which is $479.88 a year.
What does the Comu app do on the plan that comes with it?
The Starter plan that comes with Comu Note Pro gives you unlimited real-time transcription, unlimited basic summaries, speaker identification and 113 languages for $0. On Starter you tap to transcribe and summarize each recording that syncs from the device. Premium and Elite do it automatically.
What Starter includes:
- Transcription. Unlimited real-time transcription. The transcript highlights in sync with the audio, plays back from 0.75x to 2.0x and jumps 15 seconds back or forward.
- Speaker identification. The app separates and labels speakers, and the labels sit beside the transcript and the audio. It is a software ability, so it is the same on every plan and on both devices.
- Summaries. Unlimited basic summaries. More than 30 built-in summary templates cover general use, insurance, sales, real estate, medical, legal, journalist, wealth management, headhunter and manager roles, and custom summary templates are unlimited.
- Actions. The app extracts to-dos from a recording with the owner, decision, deadline and next step, and Comu pushes the meeting summary and to-dos after a meeting.
- Comu AI assistant. You ask by text or voice in the app, and the chat answers across your recordings, files, contacts, Actions and history.
- AI slides, docs and email. After a recording the app offers Generate Slides, an editable PowerPoint draft. Comu AI also writes Word, Markdown or PDF documents, and drafts follow-up emails with recipient, subject, summary, decisions, action items and deadlines. Creating an email draft does not send it.
- Search and folders. You search past conversations by keyword, and AI organizes recordings into smart folders.
- Contacts. Link recordings to a contact to build an AI profile and summary, then tag, call or email in one tap.
- Models. Starter uses standard AI models.
Starter includes real-time translation once a month and the Deep Dive Suite three times a month.
Results depend on recording distance, noise, speaking style, network and language, and AI-generated results may require your review and adjustment before final use. You can re-run transcription, summaries and analysis on any recording.
You can also subscribe in the Comu app without buying hardware and upload audio files; MP4 up to 500 MB.
What do Premium and Elite add to Comu Note Pro?
Premium and Elite add automatic transcription and summaries, unlimited translation and Deep Dive, and advanced AI models to the same app, for $119.99 a year or $14.99 a month (Premium) and $359.99 a year or $39.99 a month (Elite) (Nov 13, 2026).
| Feature | Starter | Premium and Elite |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time transcription | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Basic summaries | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Transcribe and summarize | You tap to start | Automatic (AI Note Automation) |
| Real-time translation | 1 time a month | Unlimited |
| Deep Dive Suite | 3 times a month | Unlimited, with automatic generation |
| Custom vocabulary | No | Yes |
| AI Meeting Prep | No | Yes |
| Moments (Beta) | No | Yes |
| AI models | Standard | Standard plus advanced, including GPT, Claude and Gemini |
| Open API, MCP, CLI, Webhook | No | Yes |
Premium and Elite carry the same feature rows. Elite is the plan for heavy daily use, and Premium is the plan for professional use. AI Meeting Prep builds a pre-meeting brief with background, goals, agenda, discussion points, questions and a checklist when a recording names the next meeting, and reminds you before it. Moments turns the day's transcribed recordings into an event timeline and a daily diary.
The app connects to Gmail and Outlook for email, Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do, Slack and Zapier. Authorization is managed on the Me page of the app.
How do you record and sync with Comu Note Pro?
You press the one record key to start and press it again to stop, and the recording syncs to the Comu app over Bluetooth in the background. The microphone setup is two MEMS microphones plus one VPU bone-conduction sensor, with 5 m of indoor pickup.
The sequence:
- Charge the recorder with the magnetic cable, about 1.5 hours.
- Connect it to the Comu app by Bluetooth.
- Press the record key to start and press it again to stop.
- Open the Comu app. The recording transfers after the Bluetooth connection, in the background, and Wi-Fi is available for long recordings.
- Tap to transcribe and summarize on Starter, or let Premium or Elite do it automatically.
Comu Action Pro records phone calls with its built-in bone-conduction microphone held against the phone, and the app recognizes call mode and face-to-face mode and enhances the voice. The Comu Note Pro microphone specification is 2 MEMS plus 1 VPU (bone conduction).
The app settings include switches for auto transcribe and summarize, for uploading audio on Wi-Fi only, and for app language and AI output language, which are set separately.
Is Comu Note Pro private and secure?
Comu is GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant (Nov 13, 2026), encrypts audio and transcripts, does not sell data to third parties and does not use your data to train AI models. Comu is also CCPA compliant.
What the Comu Trust Center and the Comu Note Pro page state (Nov 13, 2026):
- Encryption. Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The Comu Note Pro page says audio and transcripts are protected with AES-256 during transmission and storage.
- No data sale. "We never sell data to third parties."
- No AI training. "User data is never used to train AI models, nor shared for advertising or profiling purposes."
- Deletion. You can delete a single note or recording at any time, and deleting your account removes the associated data from Comu's servers.
- App protection. An app lock uses Face ID, Touch ID or the screen passcode. The guide How to lock your voice recordings covers the steps.
- Where data lives. Comu runs in Amazon Web Services data centers in the USA. Recordings are stored in the cloud only when Cloud Backup is on, and otherwise stay in the app or on the device.
- AI processing. Audio is sent securely to AI service providers only to deliver the function you request: transcription, summaries or insights.
Rules for recording other people differ by place. Read Is an AI note taker legal? before you record a meeting.

| Shell | Aluminum alloy | ABS and PC plastic |
| Screen | 0.78-inch monochrome | 0.95-inch color OLED |
| Buttons | Record key | Record key and AI key |
| Microphones | 2 MEMS plus 1 VPU (bone conduction) | 6: 4 omnidirectional MEMS, 1 directional MEMS, 1 bone conduction |

How does Comu Note Pro compare with Plaud?
Comu Note Pro is $128.99 and Plaud Note is $159 on their US stores, so Comu Note Pro is $30.01 below Plaud Note before any plan (Comu Nov 13, 2026; Plaud Nov 13, 2026).
| Spec | Comu Note Pro | Plaud Note |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $128.99 | $159 |
| Weight | 27.6 g (0.97 oz) | 1.06 oz |
| Pickup range | 5 m (16.4 ft) | 9.8 ft |
| Continuous recording | 45 hours | Up to 30 hours |
| Transcription languages | 113 | 112 |
The unit conversions in the table were computed by script from the gram and meter values.
Software plans decide the rest of the cost. Every Plaud device includes the Starter plan with 300 transcription minutes a month, which is 5 hours. Plaud's Pro plan is 1,200 minutes (20 hours) a month at $99.99 a year, and Unlimited is $239.99 a year (Plaud plan page, Nov 12, 2026). Plaud does not support real-time transcription (Plaud help center). Comu Starter transcribes in real time with no minute cap.
The Comu row in the next table covers unlimited real-time transcription, speaker identification, basic summaries and 113 languages. Plaud Starter caps transcription at 300 minutes a month, so the Pro and Unlimited rows show the Plaud cost for higher volumes.
An arithmetic example: ten hours of recording in a month is 600 minutes, which is twice the 300 minutes on Plaud Starter and half the 1,200 minutes on Plaud Pro. The table shows Plaud Note on each of its plans (device prices Nov 13, 2026, Plaud plan prices Nov 12, 2026, computed by script).
| Setup | 1-year total | 2-year total |
|---|---|---|
| Comu Note Pro on Starter | $128.99 | $128.99 |
| Plaud Note on Starter (300 minutes a month) | $159.00 | $159.00 |
| Plaud Note with Pro, billed yearly | $258.99 | $358.98 |
| Plaud Note with Unlimited, billed yearly | $398.99 | $638.98 |
Plaud labels speakers on every plan, including Starter.
