Why Iris wins

Better than meeting apps. Simpler than bloated platforms.

  • Compressed call audio and video
  • Internet issues affect what gets recorded
  • Harder to get polished separate files
  • Built for meetings, not podcast production

All-in-one creator suites

  • Powerful, but often cluttered
  • More tools than many podcasters need
  • Steeper learning curve for simple interviews
  • AI slop built in everywhere

Iris.fm

  • Guests join from a browser link
  • Every person is recorded locally
  • Separate tracks for clean editing
  • Simple workflow focused on podcasts
