01
Privacy that doesn't compromise features
Zoom's end-to-end encryption is an opt-in toggle that disables cloud recording, live transcription, polls, and breakout rooms. You're forced to choose between security and productivity.
Hyper takes a different approach. End-to-end encryption is on by default, and because AI features run on-device rather than in the cloud, you get full transcription, translation, and summarization without ever sending data to a remote server. Your meeting content stays on your hardware — period.
02
AI that runs on your device, not in the cloud
Zoom AI Companion processes your meeting audio in the cloud to generate summaries and action items. That means your conversations pass through third-party infrastructure where they can be stored, analyzed, or used for model training.
Hyper's AI runs entirely on-device. Transcription, translation, noise cancellation, and meeting summaries are all processed locally using optimized models that deliver real-time results without any network dependency. The result is faster, more private, and available on every plan — not just Business or Enterprise tiers.
03
Lower latency, lighter footprint
Hyper's custom QUIC-based transport protocol delivers sub-75ms glass-to-glass latency — roughly 40% faster than Zoom's typical 120ms. You'll notice the difference immediately in fast-paced conversations where even small delays create awkward crosstalk.
On the performance side, Hyper uses 15-20% CPU in-browser compared to Zoom's 25-30%, meaning less fan noise, longer battery life on laptops, and smoother multitasking. Join times are under 500ms versus Zoom's 1-2 seconds.
04
Collaboration built in, not bolted on
Zoom is fundamentally a video pipe — features like notes, whiteboards, and task tracking are either missing or require separate products (Zoom Docs, Zoom Whiteboard) with their own subscriptions.
Hyper ships with shared meeting notes, built-in whiteboarding, agenda templates, and automatic action item tracking as part of the core product. Multi-calendar sync pulls in Google, Outlook, and iCloud, and natural-language scheduling lets you book meetings without leaving the app. Everything is connected so context flows from scheduling to the call to the follow-up.
05
Simple, transparent pricing
Zoom's pricing tiers lock AI features behind Business ($21.99/user/mo) and Enterprise plans, and add-ons like translated captions and large meetings come with extra fees that are hard to predict.
Hyper includes all AI features, end-to-end encryption, and full collaboration tools on every plan. The Free tier supports teams up to 20 with no time limits, and Pro plans are straightforward with no per-feature upsells. You always know what you're paying for.
