Which one fits your firm
Choose Chaser if

Choose Ping Assistant if
- Advisory or CAS firms running five or more client meetings a week on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.
- US firms standardized on Dialpad, RingCentral, or OpenPhone wanting phone calls transcribed alongside meetings.

Think twice about Ping Assistant if
- Firms on Canopy, TaxDome, or Jetpack Workflow as the primary practice-management system. No integrations yet.
- Compliance-only firms with low meeting load. A generic notetaker like Otter or Fireflies is cheaper.
- Budget buyers under $25 per user per month. Ping starts at $28 per user on annual billing.
