Tana is an agentic meeting platform. Its pitch in 2026 is that work should get done in the meeting, not after it. AI agents join your video calls, transcribe what is said, and act on it: they draft documents, file issues, and update a shared context graph that the team can query later.
This is a real shift from what Tana used to be. The original Tana was a Supertags outliner that turned notes into structured, queryable data. That product still exists, but it is now branded separately as Tana Outliner at outliner.tana.inc. Tana itself says these are distinct products that share a brand name, so check which one you are signing up for.
System Verdict
Pick Tana if you want meetings that produce work, not just notes. Its agents join Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet, capture the discussion in dozens of languages, and turn it into documents, tasks, and a context graph automatically. For teams that run on meetings, that is more useful than a passive transcript you read afterward.
Skip it if you want a simple notes app or the old Supertags tool. The meeting platform is built for teams and live calls, not quiet personal note-taking. If you came for the original outliner and its Supertags model, you want Tana Outliner or a tool like Notion AI instead.
Who pays which tier: Free for individuals trying a few meetings a month, Pro at about $20/mo for regular users who want unlimited meetings and more AI, Max at about $80/mo for heavy users and small teams, and Business for organizations that need SSO and security controls.

What it actually is
The differentiator is that the agent works inside the meeting. Most AI notetakers record a call and hand you a summary afterward. Tana puts an agent on the call that transcribes in real time and acts on the discussion as it happens, so a decision can become a document or an issue before the meeting ends.
Behind that sits a context graph. Instead of asking you to file notes by hand, Tana populates the graph from your meetings, then lets you and the AI query it. The structured ideas that powered the original Supertags model carry through here as types, but you configure them in natural language rather than building the system up manually.
The trade-off is focus. Tana is now built around teams and live calls. If you wanted the quiet, single-user knowledge outliner, that is the separate Tana Outliner product, and conflating the two leads to the wrong plan and the wrong workflow.
When to pick Tana
- You run on meetings. Agents act during the call instead of after it.
- You want automatic capture. Transcripts and a context graph build themselves from calls.
- You use Zoom, Teams, or Meet. The agent joins those calls natively.
- You want work, not just notes. Discussion becomes docs, issues, and tasks.
- Your team shares context. The graph is queryable across the group.
When to pick something else
- Simple personal notes: a lightweight app is faster and cheaper.
- The original outliner: use Tana Outliner for the Supertags knowledge tool.
- All-in-one docs and wiki: Notion AI is more mature for general docs and team wikis.
- Local-first storage: Tana is cloud-based, so offline-first tools differ here.
Pricing
Tana is freemium. As of June 2026 the meeting platform at tana.inc/pricing lists a Free plan with about 5 hosted meetings a month and roughly 50 AI queries, a Pro plan at about $20 per month on an early-bird rate (around $30 standard) with unlimited meetings and more AI, a Max plan at about $80 per month early-bird (around $120 standard) that adds more AI and dedicated support, and a Business plan at custom yearly pricing with SAML SSO and advanced security.
The original Tana Outliner is a separate product with its own, generally lower-priced plans at outliner.tana.inc. Because the platform is young and several tiers are on promotional early-bird rates, confirm the current prices and meeting limits on the live pricing page before committing.

Failure modes
- Two products, one name. Tana and Tana Outliner are distinct; it is easy to sign up for the wrong one.
- Early-bird pricing. Pro and Max rates are promotional and will likely rise.
- Team-first design. The meeting focus is overkill if you only want personal notes.
- Cloud-based. Not a local-first or offline-first store.
- Young product. The meeting platform is new, so features and limits change often.
