Vexa vs Meeting BaaS
Meeting BaaS gives you a bot API. Vexa gives you the bot, plus the knowledge and agents on top, on your own servers.
Where your
meetings live
Both send a bot to the call. The difference is where recordings end up, and what self-hosting takes.
Where recordings and transcripts live
Recordings in your object storage, transcripts in your database.
Meeting BaaS’s cloud for 3 to 30 days, or your S3-compatible storage.
Running it yourself
A public repository. Deploy with Docker or Helm; nothing to request.
Private Helm charts: contact your Meeting BaaS representative for access.
The licence
Apache-2.0, perpetual and irrevocable: we cannot withdraw it from your copy.
Bot: Elastic License 2.0, which forbids offering it as a managed service.
Which model it runs on
A speech-to-text model you choose and deploy, via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Gladia transcription, or your own transcription provider’s key.
