Agentic
Tools that ship a real MCP server / CLI / API surface so an AI agent can use them.
Most of the comparisons here aren't agent-aware. Sprachmemo is. The page below names which competitors expose an MCP server, an authenticated REST API, or only a UI - so you can pick a tool that an agent can actually drive.

Free plan, no credit card. We host in Germany. Export + delete are self-serve.
