Plaud makes AI note-taking recorders, from the Plaud Note Pro and Note to the wearable NotePin S, NotePin and Plaud One, and sells Plaud Intelligence transcription and summary plans for individuals and teams.
Buying one means two bills, the device and the membership, and annual billing takes up to 54% off the plans, so the plan choice deserves as much attention as any hardware code.
Plaud Inc. is registered in Dover, Delaware, and it calls itself the top AI note-taking brand worldwide. Recordings are processed through Plaud Intelligence, which runs in a mobile app, a web app and a desktop app, and the newer Plaud One is pitched as a way to direct the Plaud agent by voice.
The company markets its recorders to professionals in specific fields, including real estate, sales, finance, healthcare, consulting, legal work and education, with uses such as clinical notes drawn from patient conversations. For organizations it offers a Team plan, bulk ordering, a reseller program, and developer access through a device SDK and API as well as MCP and CLI tools.

Buy with Prime
Only the NotePin is sold through Buy with Prime, and those orders ship free.
A Plaud Store coupon code goes in at checkout, and the same code works for NotePin orders placed through Buy with Prime, which already ship free.
Promotions cannot be combined unless the offer explicitly allows it, and some carry minimum spends, product limits or expiry dates, so a bundle deal and a separate code rarely add together.
Students, military members and educators are listed as eligible groups for their own discounts, so confirming that status comes before paying.
Card payments are only authorized when the order is placed and are charged when it ships or after 6 days, whichever comes firSt.
