Laxis suits sales teams that want calls, dictation and CRM updates in one subscription on a Mac, a Windows PC or a phone. Dalm is for Mac users: speech is recognised on the Mac and no audio is sent, while the text syncs to our servers.

When Laxis is the better choice
- You sell on calls. Laxis syncs notes and action items to HubSpot and Salesforce, automates the CRM on Business, and turns a call into a MEDDIC report or a follow-up email from more than 50 templates. Dalm has no CRM link, no deal fields and no emails.
- You work on more than a Mac. Laxis has apps for Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, and its mobile app records phone calls and meetings in the room. Dalm is a Mac app for Apple Silicon · macOS 15.0 or later.
- You want a bot to join from your calendar. Laxis can send an assistant bot to a meeting from your calendar, as well as recording from your device.
- You work across languages. Laxis translates live and rewrites dictated text into other languages. Dalm writes down what was said in the language it was said in.
- Your notes feed other apps. Zapier links Laxis to more than 7,000 apps, and Laxis offers an MCP connector. Dalm does none of this.
When Dalm is the better choice
- Speech becomes text on your Mac. Dalm recognises speech on the Mac in front of you, sends no audio anywhere and deletes the audio once the text exists. The text is another matter: each transcript syncs to our servers automatically, a language model reads it to write the summary, and no setting turns that off. How local and cloud recognition differ.
- No pool to run dry. No plan puts a limit on recording minutes, on the length of a recording, or on how long anything is kept. On Laxis, dictation and meetings share one monthly pool, and a Basic recording stops at 45 minutes.
- Quotes that lead back. In each summary, every point keeps a word-for-word quote. Every quote shows you where it was said — open it and the transcript opens at that place.
- One archive for both. Everything you say lands in one archive you can search: meetings, phone calls, conversations in the room, and what you dictate to a model.
Looking for a Laxis alternative?
If you like having dictation and meetings in one app but want the speech recognised on your own Mac, Dalm works that way: no audio is sent, and no plan counts minutes. The text still syncs to our servers, where a language model writes the summary, so it is not an app that keeps everything on one machine. If your calls have to end up in a CRM, or you need Windows or a phone, Laxis covers more. A page for the minutes themselves is the meeting minutes template, and seven note takers are compared by name. Paid plans are on the pricing page.
Questions
- Is there a Laxis alternative for Mac?
- Dalm is one, if you work on a Mac with Apple Silicon · macOS 15.0 or later. Like Laxis, it records meetings and types dictation into any app. The difference is where speech becomes text: Dalm recognises it on your Mac and sends no audio anywhere, while the text of each meeting syncs to our servers automatically.
- Does Laxis transcribe on my device?
- Its pages do not say where speech is turned into text. Its privacy notice names Google Cloud Platform for cloud computing, and its dictation page points people who need everything to stay on the device to a local Mac app instead. Dalm recognises speech on your Mac; the text then syncs to our servers, where a language model writes the summary.
- How much does Laxis cost?
- Laxis Basic is free with 300 transcription minutes a month. Premium is $15.99 a month, or $9.99 billed yearly, and Business $29.99 a month, or $19.99 billed yearly. Dalm's Free plan covers meetings and dictation, and Pro is $16 a month, or $12 a month billed annually.
- What happens when the minutes run out?
- On Laxis, meetings, dictation and live translation draw from one monthly pool, and they pause until it resets or you upgrade; a single recording also stops at 45 minutes on Basic. In Dalm, no plan puts a limit on recording minutes, on the length of a recording, or on how long anything is kept.
- Is Dalm a good fit for sales calls?
- For notes on the call, yes: it records the call on your Mac and writes a summary from the transcript and your notes. For the sales work around it, Laxis does more — it syncs notes to HubSpot or Salesforce, has templates such as MEDDIC and drafts follow-up emails. Dalm does none of that.
