Our verdict

A fit for teams that want bot-free meeting capture and to bring their own Claude or ChatGPT into the call, or for people drawn to the supertag model of Tana Outliner. The trade-off is that in 2026 Tana split into two distinct products, which is easy to confuse, and the sources read show little independent user feedback on the new one.

Best for: Teams that meet often on Zoom, Meet or Teams and want capture without a bot joining the call

Skip it if: Anyone who needs an Android app for the new meeting platform (the site lists Android as roadmap)

Pros

  • Captures meetings through computer audio, with no bot joining the call
  • Works with your own agents (Claude, ChatGPT) through External agents and MCP
  • Document changes and drafts for outside tools arrive as proposals you approve first

Cons

  • Two products share the brand (Tana and Tana Outliner) with different pricing and features, and older web content about Tana often describes the Outliner
  • The meeting platform's pricing page gives no monthly price for Pro, and Business is quoted by sales
All pros and cons · Who is it for?

Pros

  • A Free plan and a 14-day trial of paid plans with no card required

Cons

  • The new iOS app was released on 1 October 2026 and does not yet have enough App Store ratings to show a score

Best for

  • People who already pay for Claude or ChatGPT and want that agent connected to their meetings
  • Note-takers who like typed outlines (supertags) with multiple views, through Tana Outliner

Skip it if

  • Organisations that need end-to-end encryption: the policy does not mention it

Experience & key features

What Tana is

Tana Labs began with an outliner-style notes app that combines a knowledge graph with AI and is known for supertags. According to the company's own May 2026 post, on 16 March 2026 the team decided to split into two products: the new Tana at tana.inc is an agentic meeting platform, while the older notes app is now called Tana Outliner at outliner.tana.inc. This review covers both and flags where they differ.

The new meeting platform

According to the homepage, the desktop app captures Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls through the computer's audio (Mac or Windows required), with no bot joining. Tana also hosts its own video calls, with guests joining by link and no account. You connect your own Claude or ChatGPT under External agents so the agent receives the live transcript and shared screen. Each agent's replies stay in a private chat by default and are shared only when you choose. Document changes and drafts for outside tools arrive as proposals awaiting approval.

Pricing and value

The meeting platform has three plans: Free, Pro at 15 USD per member per month and Business from 35 USD, both billed yearly, with one plan per organisation. Free limits meeting history to 30 days and about 50 AI queries. Tana Outliner is priced separately: Free, Plus at 8 USD and Pro at 14 USD per month on yearly billing, with AI credit allowances and a 50% discount for students, academics and NGOs. The two price lists are separate, so check which product you are buying.

More analysis

Versus alternatives

For notes and knowledge bases, Tana Outliner sits alongside Notion, Obsidian and Logseq but leans on outline structure and supertags. The new meeting platform targets a different audience, where the meeting is the centre. The company has raised 25 million USD in total (a 14 million USD Series A in February 2025), which says nothing about product quality, and the sources read contain little independent feedback, so trying the Free plan first is sensible.

Privacy

Tana's privacy policy says it collects user content, contact details, account data, device and usage data and technical logs; with meeting or voice features it also collects audio, video, screen captures and transcripts. The policy names no primary storage region, says data may be transferred outside the EU/EEA to the United States and Australia under EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and does not mention end-to-end encryption. Tana states it does not use user content to train AI models unless it notifies you in advance and offers an opt-out; the same restriction applies contractually to its AI subprocessors. A subprocessor list is at trust.tana.inc/subprocessors, and the pricing page lists SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance. If you connect Claude, ChatGPT or Google Drive, data goes to those services at your direction. The Business plan adds a custom DPA with data residency and retention control, and EU hosting.

Scores

Ease of use
6.5
Why this score

The meeting platform has a simple flow (connect calendar, capture, get a summary), but the Outliner brings concepts such as nodes, supertags, fields and views, and the two-product split makes the choice harder for newcomers. The interface is English-only.

Features
7.5
Why this score

The meeting platform offers transcripts, summaries, bring-your-own agents, approval-gated proposals and integrations with GitHub, Slack, Linear, Jira and HubSpot. The Outliner has supertags, multiple views, AI chat, MCP, an Input API and imports from Notion, Roam and Logseq.

Value for money
6.5
Why this score

Pro is 15 USD per member per month and Business starts at 35 USD (billed yearly); Outliner Plus is 8 USD and Pro 14 USD per month on yearly billing. A Free plan exists, but its AI allowance is small (about 50 queries, or 500 credits on the Outliner).

Performance
6.5
Why this score

The sources read contain no independent performance data and the new app has no App Store score yet. The changelog lists several fixes (windows reopening in the right workspace, self-reload on load failure), so the score stays mid-range.

Support
6.0
Why this score

There is a dedicated docs site for the Outliner, a public changelog and a support email ([email protected]); only Business includes a designated customer success manager. No live chat or phone channel was found.

Privacy & security
7.0
Why this score

It commits to no AI training on user content without prior notice and an opt-out, publishes a subprocessor list and lists SOC 2 Type 2, and Business offers a DPA and EU hosting. Points are deducted because meeting use collects audio, video and screen captures and the policy does not mention encryption.
