Noota A tool dedicated to AI meeting notes.
What Forgeron3 changes.
Two approaches, one need.
Noota is a French AI note-taking and meeting notes tool. It joins Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex calls, also records phone calls and in-person meetings, and sends the notes to attendees. Its Free plan is permanent, and its Pro and Business plans are paid per user.
Forgeron3 is not a note-taking tool. It is an assistant platform that includes meeting notes alongside email, calendar, knowledge bases and dashboards. So the question is not which one takes the best notes, but whether you want one platform covering meetings, email, calendar and assistants, or one subscription per tool.
Point by point.

Its strengths.
Noota covers meetings broadly: Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex, telephony with Aircall, Ringover or 3CX, and in-person recording. Its notes go to many CRMs, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Dynamics, Odoo and Sellsy. Its help centre lists around sixty transcription languages. Noota offers MCP integration from the Free plan, and sovereign SecNumCloud hosting in France reserved for the Enterprise offer.
What changes for an SME
One subscription per tool means one invoice per need: note-taking from one vendor, a writing assistant from a second, automation from a third. For 10 people, Noota Pro costs €290 per month on monthly billing, or €190 on annual billing, for a tool focused on meetings. Forgeron3 Apprentice costs €120 excl. VAT per month for those 10 people and includes meeting notes, email, calendar, knowledge bases and assistant sharing.
At Forgeron3, meeting notes do not sit on their own. They feed the assistant’s actions and its knowledge base, where a scheduled routine or a dashboard can pick them up. Noota offers meeting-triggered automation on the Business plan. On hosting, Noota states Google Cloud in Belgium and the Netherlands, and Forgeron3 France, in Strasbourg and Gravelines.
Forgeron3 or Noota: your questions.
Is Noota free?
Noota offers a permanent Free plan. Its Pro and Business plans cost €29 and €49 per user per month, or €19 and €39 on annual billing, and the page does not say whether these prices are excl. VAT. Forgeron3 also offers a Free plan, with meeting notes included.
Can Forgeron3 replace Noota?
For video meeting notes, Forgeron3 includes them from the Free plan. If you record Aircall or Ringover calls, or rely on a specific CRM integration, check those integrations: they appear on Noota’s pages, not on Forgeron3’s.
Where is the data hosted?
Noota states Google Cloud in Belgium and the Netherlands, with a SecNumCloud option in France reserved for the Enterprise offer. Forgeron3 hosts its platform in France, in Strasbourg and Gravelines.
