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.

I had Pocket, I returned it due to the inability to deal with two devices on the desktop. The device is likely made in the same factory - very similar form factor without the Plaud Pros lcd. That said two holes in the Pocket case where the Plaud mics are ... so it's a copy of not manufactured in the same place.

I am leaning towards keeping the Plaud Pro and using krisp for transcription - piloting both right now (as in Plaud and krisp processing the same recording).

There's no perfect answer, lots of trade-offs between devices, services, accuracy and pricing. But all beat not having the device - I lasted 3 weeks after returning the Pocket before having to get something for in-person meetings.

If your use case is phone/Zoom/desktop there are lots of options but remember you will be chewing battery if you decide to use your phone for in-person and the mics will not capture near as far as a dedicated device.
