Viora's reasons to leave are platform and allowance. The download is macOS only, no plan is unlimited and Pro drops back to Haiku after the allowance, and the product is marked early access. Data is stored in Viora's cloud with inference on Google Vertex AI, and Max at $100 per month has few described extras.
ChatGPT Plus is $20 per user per month, has a free tier and runs on web and mobile, but it is not a hold-to-speak layer across every Mac app. Claude Pro is $20 per month, or $17 per month on annual billing ($200 billed up front), also with a free plan; its Pro tier includes more models such as Opus. Otter.ai is narrower: it records, transcribes and summarizes Zoom, Teams and Google Meet meetings, Pro is $16.99 per user per month, and it has a free tier. Choose Otter.ai for meetings, and ChatGPT or Claude if you want a chat assistant on more than one platform.
