ThreadRecap VS ClientForms.app

ThreadRecap's answer

ThreadRecap runs on the web and on Android. The export is opened in the browser or on the phone. An AI transcription service writes out the voice messages, and an AI model writes the summary and answers questions about the chat.

ClientForms.app's answer:

Frontend: Next.js 15 (React 19), Tailwind CSS Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL, Row-Level Security) Authentication: Clerk Payments: Stripe Hosting: Vercel (Sydney region) Database hosting: Supabase (Australian data residency)

ThreadRecap's answer

Solo professionals and individuals who need to establish what was actually agreed in a conversation. In practice: real estate agents, recruiters and HR, small business owners, freelancers dealing with clients, and people documenting a personal dispute over a rental, a partnership or a family matter. A second, lighter audience uses it to catch up on long work or family group chats. Buyers are spread across more than 20 countries, led by the UK, the US, Italy and Switzerland.

ClientForms.app's answer:

Psychologists who assess ADHD and autism. Typically private practice, solo or small group (1-5 clinicians), currently using paper forms and spending hours on admin per assessment. They want something that works and is secure.

ThreadRecap's answer

Most tools transcribe one voice message at a time, or summarize text you paste. ThreadRecap takes the raw WhatsApp export, the .zip with thousands of messages and hours of voice notes, and writes out every voice message where it was sent, so the whole conversation reads as one dated record. A commitment made in a 4-minute audio at 11pm sits in date order next to everything else. On top comes a summary of decisions, commitments and open questions, and the record downloads as PDF and TXT.

ClientForms.app's answer:

Neurodivergent-first design. Most digital forms just replicate paper online. ClientForms is built specifically for ADHD and autism patients - progress bars with time remaining (helps with time blindness), softer colours instead of harsh white, sticky headers so you always know where you are. The forms are designed to reduce anxiety and improve completion rates.

ThreadRecap's answer

Single-message transcribers make you forward voice notes one by one and lose the order of the chat. Generic AI assistants hit limits on long threads and ignore voice notes. Chat statistics tools give word clouds, not what was said. ThreadRecap handles the whole export at once and keeps sender and time on every line. The export opens free in the browser, the exact price shows before paying, and you pay once per conversation, with no subscription.

ClientForms.app's answer:

Most clinical software treats patients as an afterthought. ClientForms is designed specifically for neurodivergent users who are filling out the forms, progress indicators, time estimates, calmer colours, predictable layouts. One link, no signup required, works on any device. Patients just open and complete.

ThreadRecap's answer

I'm André, a Brazilian developer based in Portugal. ThreadRecap started as a personal tool. I kept receiving long voice messages and endless work threads, and wanted the main points without listening to everything again. I built the first version over a weekend and published it as a proof of concept, mostly to see whether anyone else cared. People did, but not for the reason I expected. Instead of catching up on chats, they were using it to document disputes, prove agreements and produce a record of what was said. That reframed the whole product, and the roadmap has followed the users ever since.
