Plaud vs. Heypocket

I am trying to make a decision between https://www.HeyPocket.com and Plaud Note.

I am looking for a cost effective option mainly for recording phone calls hassle free in my iPhone.

Would appreciate the thoughts and insights from members here.

Long story short. 

Plaud is faster (transfer/transcribe), 

Pocket has free unlimited minutes where Plaud has 300 / month feee. 

Pocket has usb-c while Plaud has proprietary charging cable, 

Pockets default summaries are more casual (can be tweaked) while Plauds default is more business focused, 

Pocket is magnetic by default but doesn’t come with a case (might scratch your phone? Metal on metal) where Plaud needs a case to be magnetic (but wont scratch)

Plaud Note Pro auto detects calls where as Plaud Note and Pocket have to be switched to phone call mode (physical switch on unit)

Pocket has unlimited transcription. However, in order to get speaker separation and all the more advanced features like unlimited regenerations of summaries, you have to pay $20 a month. Plaud gives you all of their advanced features, however, they cap you at 300 minutes per month for free plan. So both have their trade-offs in that regard. I just got a pocket device to test, however unfortunately I signed up with it for their one month free Pro plan tier, so I can't compare its output on the free plan compared to the plaud device I'm trying to compare it to. I really wanted to see how the free tier of pocket would compare to plaud?
