Both read your calls and your email. Circleback turns each meeting into notes and action items for the tools you use. nicefig turns everything that arrives into new work, or an update to a fig you already have.
Checked 16 September 2026, from Circleback's own website and pricing page.Circleback takes the notes itself, with apps for desktop and mobile, and speaker-labelled transcripts. nicefig does not record; it needs a recorder.
Linear, Asana, Monday, Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, Zapier and Make, plus an API, an MCP server and a command line.
Transcription in over 100 languages, and a free plan to start with.
The second message about the same piece of work.
Both tools catch it. Circleback lists it as an action item and can create an issue in your task tool. nicefig suggests a new fig: "Add a price list to the website".
Nobody named the task. nicefig recognises this as an update to Monday's fig and suggests two steps and a note, with the email as the source. A notetaker working one meeting at a time sees a new list.

Or use both. Let Circleback record the call, then paste its notes into nicefig. You get Circleback's recording and nicefig's memory of your work.
No. nicefig takes what your recorder produces. We connect Fathom for you, and notes from Circleback or any other tool can be pasted.
