A pin recorder and a cap are not the same job
Plaud NotePin is a pin you clip on to record. Choose it if you want a clip-on recording and you do not want a cap. This page does not invent its price, battery, or mics.
Waga is the cap. You say the note into it while your hands stay on the work. The phone stays pocketed. Alia, on iPhone, turns that into the note after. No subscription.
If the thing you want is a dedicated recorder you add to your clothes, the pin is the honest fit. If the thing you want is to speak a sentence into a cap you were already wearing, that is the cap.
Questions people ask
Is a clip recorder hands-free? It can be, once it is clipped on. You still have to remember the clip. The cap is for people who were going to wear one anyway.
Which is better for a long meeting? A dedicated recorder is built for a recording you will replay. A one-sentence note is a different job. Do not make one tool do both.
Where should you read the comparison? Stay on the job. Object you add, or object you were already wearing.
