Pick AudioPen if…
It suits writers, creators, salespeople, lawyers, therapists, and people who find typing slow or painful. It is intended for turning individual spoken thoughts into notes, not for processing meetings with speaker labels.

Memo suits iPhone users who want to turn recordings into searchable notes and follow-up tasks. Pro may fit users who need unlimited notes, calendar tools, and AI-generated summaries.
