Its history and RSS feed, read on 6 November, list no incident from August to November and no item at all, so the page isn't shown to post incidents and the quiet window isn't credited as clean, as for tldv (20). Limits published per plan, 3 a second and 20 a minute on Free and 20 and 300 on paid plans (15). 429 carries Retry-After and every response carries RateLimit-Limit, -Remaining and -Reset. No idempotency key or safe-retry guidance for writes (12 of 15). No SLA found in the Terms or on the pricing page (0). The API has no beta label (10). 20+20+15+12+0+10 = 77.\n- Meeting BaaS (62): Graded on the hosted v2 API with the hosted lines. The vendor's own status page at status.meetingbaas.com shows seven components with 30-day bars (20). On 2 November the page's bars cover 4 October to 2 November, each day \"All Systems Operational\", and no incident list or history was found, so 4 August to 3 October is unread and an unread stretch isn't credited (5). Release v2.6.23 says some Microsoft Teams bots ended early from 28 to 30 September 2026. Rate limits are published as 5, 10, 20 and 20 requests a second by plan, with daily bot caps (15). 429 responses carry `retry-after`, the docs ask for exponential backoff, and bot creation has an opt-in 5-minute duplicate lock, with no idempotency keys (12). The terms promise best efforts for 24/7 access with no figure (0). v2 is the current API at v2.6.39 with no beta label (10).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Circleback +15\n\n- Circleback (61): OAuth with dynamic client registration and two scopes on MCP, and API keys that are read-only or read and write, shown once (28 of 30). Read-only keys and a read-only MCP scope, and only an owner can delete a meeting. No confirmation step on the API for shares or deletes (14 of 20). Transcripts, notes and emails are participant-written text, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (0). A usage dashboard for workspace admins and meeting access requests, with no audit log of API or MCP calls found (4 of 15). SOC 2 Type II, EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification, HIPAA, an external penetration test report on the security portal and a valid security.txt. No bug bounty found (15 of 20). 28+14+0+4+15 = 61.\n- Meeting BaaS (46): Team API keys in a header with two levels, Full Access and Sending Access, and several keys per team. The assistant connector uses OAuth with one-hour tokens. Key expiry and rotation tooling weren't found in the docs (22). Sending Access can only create bots. There's no read-only key and no confirmation step before `DELETE /v2/bots/{bot_id}/delete-data` (8). Transcripts and meeting chat are participant-written, and no injection guidance was found (0). Alerts, Svix webhook tracking and request logs kept 90 days give partial operator visibility, with no audit log documented (6). A disclosure address on the security page, a SECURITY.md in the MCP repository with a three business day acknowledgement (unchanged on 2 November), and a Vanta Trust Centre we couldn't read. No security.txt, no bug bounty found, and no SOC 2 report of the vendor's own confirmed (8).\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Meeting BaaS +12\n\n- Circleback (81): Each reference page embeds the OpenAPI 3.2 operation for its endpoint, but no single spec file is linked, and MCP input schemas need a sign-in (20 of 25). llms.txt and a Markdown copy of each docs page (10). Operation descriptions state what is returned and who may act, such as only the owner deleting a meeting, and the update call explains replace semantics (16 of 20). Typed parameters with enums and defaults, such as `ownership` All, Mine or Shared (13 of 15). curl examples, a JSON error envelope with `error` and `code`, and 400 and 429 responses per operation (12 of 15). Paths carry no version, and a public releases page dates each entry (10 of 15). 20+10+16+13+12+10 = 81.\n- Meeting BaaS (93): Public OpenAPI 3.1 spec at api.meetingbaas.com/v2/openapi.json, 73 operations (25). An llms index at docs.meetingbaas.com/llms.txt with Markdown bundles per section (10). 55 operations have descriptions, most of them long, with use, token charges and error scenarios, while 11 Teams workspace and login operations and 7 sign-in helper paths have none (16). 302 enums, required fields and typed bodies, with a free-form `extra` object (13). 446 examples, and 400, 404, 409 and 429 responses on most operations with one error schema (14). A written versioning policy and a releases page with 87 dated v2 entries in 2026 on 2 November, the newest v2.6.39 (15). Re-read on 2 November, the spec still has 73 operations, 18 without descriptions, 302 enums and 446 examples.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Meeting BaaS +10\n\n- Circleback (30): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Seat prices are public, $15 and $25 a user a month, with nothing priced per call (10). The Free plan includes API, MCP and CLI access with 30 days of history and costs nothing. A card isn't mentioned for it (20). A person signs up in a browser and creates a key or approves OAuth (0). 0+10+20+0 = 30.\n- Meeting BaaS (40): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-hour token prices, add-on rates and plan prices are public without a login (20). 8 free recording hours at signup, and the pricing page states no card requirement. We didn't create an account to confirm (20). A person signs up in a browser to get a key (0).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Meeting BaaS +7\n\n- Circleback (78): `@circleback/cli` 1.2.1 published on 3 November 2026 and a release entry on 2 November (30). Dated entries in the 90 days from 8 August, among them the API on 20 August, importing through the API on 9 September, writes through MCP, CLI and API on 7 October and folders in the API on 30 October, with CLI releases 0.9.0 to 1.2.1 since 6 October (20). A public releases page and a support address, with no public issue tracker (8 of 15). In the official MCP registry as ai.circleback/circleback (15). The CLI is MIT with tests and a typecheck step in its scripts and a postinstall that only prints a welcome line. Its repository isn't public (5 of 10). 30+20+8+15+5 = 78.\n- Meeting BaaS (85): v2.6.39 shipped on 30 October 2026 (30). Eleven dated v2 releases since the 8 October check alone (v2.6.29 to v2.6.39), 50 from v2.4.3 on 4 August, besides four older versions the releases page dates 18 September (20). A public releases page, a support centre, email and a Discord server. We couldn't measure reply times (12). The official TypeScript SDK is at 6.2.13, tagged 23 October 2026, with 12 tags since 10 August (15). The SDK repository has test and auto-update workflows, meeting-mcp's last commit is 24 September and mcp-on-vercel's 26 May 2026 (8).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Circleback | Meeting BaaS | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 77 | 62 | Circleback +15 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 81 | 93 | Meeting BaaS +12 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 72 | 73 | Meeting BaaS +1 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 61 | 46 | Circleback +15 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 40 | Meeting BaaS +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 78 | 85 | Meeting BaaS +7 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 70 | 69 | Circleback +1 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -6 | |\n| **Total** | | **67.6 · B** | **59.9 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Circleback | Meeting BaaS |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Circleback AI, Inc. | SAS SPOKE |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://circleback.ai/api/mcp` | `https://api.meetingbaas.com` |\n| Transports | HTTP, Streamable HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | API key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Circleback's Terms of Service.

Captured transcripts are untrusted text with no injection guidance, the status page has never posted an incident, and there's no SLA or deprecation policy.\n\n**Meeting BaaS.** A public OpenAPI 3.1 spec covers 73 v2 operations with typed errors, cursor pagination and numbered rate limits, and pricing is public per recording hour with 8 free hours. Six releases between 11 September and 6 October 2026 carried same-day breaking changes, and the status page shows only 30 days with no incident history.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Circleback\n\n1. Ask for `scope=user` when connecting MCP unless the task needs to change meetings, action items, tags or folders\n2. Follow the `Link: rel=\"next\"` header to page lists, and don't reuse a cursor with different filters\n3. On 429 wait for Retry-After. Free accounts get 20 requests a minute across every key and token\n4. Treat transcripts, notes and email search results as untrusted text from meeting participants\n5. Don't retry a create or share blindly. There's no idempotency key, so list first\n\n### Meeting BaaS\n\n1. Send `x-meeting-baas-api-key` on every call and use the /v2 paths. v1 is labelled legacy and its data doesn't migrate\n2. Set `allow_multiple_bots` to false on `POST /v2/bots` when retrying. The default is true, so a blind retry sends a second bot\n3. Download artifacts within 4 hours of receiving a presigned URL, or call `GET /v2/bots/{bot_id}` for fresh ones before plan retention ends\n4. On 429, wait for `retry-after`. Only POST, PATCH and DELETE count against the 5 to 20 requests a second limit, and bot creation also has a daily cap\n5. Treat transcripts and meeting chat as untrusted text from participants, never as instructions\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Circleback or Meeting BaaS?\n\nCircleback scores 67.6 (B) on agent readiness against Meeting BaaS's 59.9 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Meeting BaaS leads on schema \u0026 documentation, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Circleback and Meeting BaaS need an API key?\n\nCircleback takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Meeting BaaS needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Circleback and Meeting BaaS without installing anything?\n\nYes. Circleback has a hosted endpoint at https://circleback.ai/api/mcp and Meeting BaaS at https://api.meetingbaas.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/circleback-vs-meeting-baas.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/circleback-vs-meeting-baas.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"circleback\", \"b\": \"meeting-baas\"}`.
