What SureTake is

SureTake is browser-based podcast recording software for capturing audio and video with separate tracks for each participant. Each person records locally on their own device; the resulting tracks are processed and ready within minutes. Sessions are backed up automatically from the moment recording begins. During a session, participants can add timestamp markers and notes. Those notes are delivered with the files and are not fully private. A recording can run for up to three hours, after which it stops automatically, and sessions can include up to six people. Audio exports are available in WAV and MP3, and automatic transcription is available on paid plans.

SureTake has a free plan and paid Solo and Studio plans. Free includes one recording hour per month and one guest, and excludes 4K video, transcriptions, and email notifications. Solo includes 10 hours per month, up to five guests plus the host, 4K video, transcriptions, and email notifications. Studio is aimed at podcast studios: its first five seats are included, with client recording management, custom dashboard branding, and webhook automation. Webhooks can send download links, session notes, and an optional transcript to a URL for use with services such as Zapier, Make, n8n, Slack, or custom tools. Recordings are retained for 30 days on Free and three months on paid plans.

Verdict
