Microsoft 365 Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant for the workplace. Copilot is deeply integrated into Microsoft 365 and supports, among others, Teams, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and other Microsoft applications. In Teams, Copilot can summarize meetings, capture key discussion points, suggest tasks, and answer questions about the meeting — during or after the conversation.
However, those looking for an alternative in Switzerland often have different requirements: not every meeting takes place in Microsoft Teams, many conversations are physical or hybrid, minutes must comply with specific templates, Swiss German should work reliably, and sensitive data should preferably be stored or processed in Switzerland.
This is exactly where Meeting Metrics comes in.
Meeting Metrics is the Swiss alternative to Microsoft 365 Copilot for organizations that want to document meetings independently of the Microsoft ecosystem, create high-quality minutes, and work with meeting content in a structured way.
Summary
Microsoft 365 Copilot is strong when organizations already work deeply within the Microsoft ecosystem. Copilot is especially useful for Teams meetings, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and general work with Microsoft 365 data. Microsoft describes Copilot as an AI assistant available in Teams, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and other Microsoft 365 apps.
Meeting Metrics is strong when organizations seek an independent Swiss solution that is not tied to Microsoft Teams or Microsoft 365. Meeting Metrics works with online, hybrid, and on-site meetings, runs bot-free via its own app, and creates structured minutes, tasks, decisions, reports, and reusable knowledge from conversations.
The central question is therefore:
Are you looking for an AI assistant for Microsoft 365 or a specialized Swiss meeting solution for your entire meeting documentation?
What Microsoft 365 Copilot does well
Microsoft 365 Copilot is particularly attractive for organizations that already work intensively with Microsoft 365.
The big advantage lies in the integration. Copilot is not just a meeting tool but an AI assistant for the entire Microsoft work context. It can support meetings in Teams, help with writing and summarizing in Outlook, create texts in Word, prepare presentations in PowerPoint, and analyze data in Excel.
For Teams meetings, Copilot can, according to Microsoft, summarize key discussion points, record who said what, suggest tasks, and answer questions about the meeting — in real time or after the meeting.
This is powerful when meetings, documents, emails, and collaboration already take place in Microsoft 365. Copilot sits where many teams already work.
Where Meeting Metrics takes a different approach
Meeting Metrics is not built as a general office assistant but as a specialized meeting intelligence solution.
The focus is not on providing a bit of AI support everywhere but on making better outcomes from conversations: minutes, tasks, decisions, reports, follow-ups, management updates, and knowledge that remains findable later.
This is especially relevant when meetings do not only take place in Microsoft Teams. Many organizations conduct conversations via Zoom, Google Meet, telephone, physical sessions, hybrid formats, or personal client appointments.
Meeting Metrics runs via its own desktop or mobile app, can be used online, hybrid, or on-site, and is tailored to Swiss organizations, Swiss German, data protection, and individual minute requirements.
Microsoft ecosystem vs. platform independence
Microsoft 365 Copilot is particularly strong when an organization consistently works with Microsoft. Then Copilot can integrate content from Teams, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and other Microsoft 365 applications into the workflow.
In practice, however, meetings do not always only take place in Teams.
An external customer might send a Zoom link. A municipality holds a physical session. An interview is conducted by phone. A board meets on-site. A partner uses Google Meet. A workshop is hybrid.
If the AI solution is tightly bound to Microsoft Teams or Microsoft 365, gaps arise. Some conversations are well documented, others not. Knowledge remains scattered. Minutes vary depending on the meeting type.
Meeting Metrics solves this problem by working independently of the meeting channel. The solution can be used for Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, physical conversations, hybrid sessions, and audio or video uploads.
This creates unified documentation across different meeting types.
Bot-free and discreet in the background
Microsoft 365 Copilot is directly integrated into Teams. This is convenient if all participants work in Teams and the corresponding functions are enabled.
Meeting Metrics takes a different approach.
Recording runs via its own app in the background. No visible bot has to join the meeting. This is especially pleasant for conversations where an additional meeting assistant would be disruptive.
This includes client conversations, executive and board meetings, municipal and association meetings, interviews, confidential project meetings, or sensitive consulting mandates.
Especially in Switzerland, where discretion, trust, and personal closeness are important in many conversations, bot-free recording can be a decisive advantage.
Swiss German, minute quality, and templates
Microsoft 365 Copilot is strong in general summaries, tasks, and productivity-related functions within the Microsoft environment.
In Switzerland, however, this is often not enough.
Many meetings contain Swiss German, technical terms, internal abbreviations, agendas, resolutions, pending items, and recurring minute structures. Especially in executive, board, municipal, association, or consulting meetings, more than a generic summary is needed.
Meeting Metrics is tailored to the Swiss market and supports German and Swiss German. Additionally, custom templates and context files can be used. This results in outputs that are closer to the internal requirements of the organization.
The goal is not just a summary but minutes or results that can actually be reused.
Swiss data storage and local proximity
AI meeting tools are not just about productivity. They involve sensitive conversation data.
Meetings often discuss topics that should not be arbitrarily processed or distributed: strategy, personnel, finances, client projects, legal issues, regulatory processes, board decisions, or confidential mandates.
Microsoft 365 Copilot offers enterprise data protection, management, compliance, and control mechanisms within the Microsoft 365 environment. Microsoft also names Work IQ, Microsoft 365 data, connectors, agents, and integration into Microsoft 365 applications as key components of Copilot.
Meeting Metrics deliberately positions itself differently: data storage in Switzerland, processing in Switzerland in an enterprise setup, personal support for data protection questions, and local contacts.
For Swiss SMEs, municipalities, associations, consultancies, and regulated organizations, this can be an important difference.
From Teams summaries to reusable meeting knowledge
A Teams summary is helpful. But often the real work begins afterward.
After a meeting, questions arise such as:
What was decided? Who takes on which task? What must go into the official minutes? Which points belong in the management update? What must be communicated to the client? Which risks were mentioned? What was said about a specific topic in previous meetings?
Meeting Metrics is designed to support exactly this follow-up work.
Meetings generate minutes, tasks, decisions, reports, follow-ups, and content that can later be found again via AI chat or search. The meeting does not disappear as an isolated summary in Teams but becomes part of usable organizational knowledge.
Time savings: where the benefit arises
The benefit of Meeting Metrics arises before, during, and after the meeting.
Before the meeting, templates and context files help prepare better results. During the meeting, participants can focus more on the conversation instead of taking notes. After the meeting, minutes, tasks, decisions, summaries, and reports are automatically prepared. Later, content remains findable via search and AI chat.
According to an internal user survey from Q1 2026 with 100 Meeting Metrics users, Meeting Metrics saves on average around 25 minutes per meeting hour. For executive and board meetings, up to 75 percent time savings are possible depending on the situation.
Especially in meetings with multiple participants, sensitive content, or high documentation requirements, the productivity gain becomes quickly noticeable.

Pricing: Microsoft 365 Copilot
Status: June 4, 2026, according to publicly available Microsoft pricing page Switzerland

For Microsoft 365 Copilot Business, Microsoft lists on the Swiss pricing page CHF 20.40 per user per month with monthly commitment or an annual price of CHF 17.00 per user per month, currently with a limited discount offer from CHF 14.57 per user per month.

What the price comparison really means
Microsoft 365 Copilot appears attractive in price, especially if an organization already uses Microsoft 365 and views Copilot as an addition to the existing environment.
Meeting Metrics takes a different approach.
Here you do not pay for a general AI assistant within an office ecosystem but for a specialized Swiss meeting solution:
Swiss data storage, bot-free recording, support for online, hybrid, and on-site meetings, custom templates, high-quality minutes, personal onboarding, local contacts, AI chat, meeting search, reports, and flexible enterprise setups.
The central question is therefore not only:
What does the Copilot license cost per user?
But:
Which meetings do we want to document, how good must the minutes be, and how much follow-up work do we really save?
If a team saves about 25 minutes per meeting hour, the pure price comparison becomes less decisive. Especially if the solution supports not only Teams meetings but improves the entire meeting documentation of an organization.

Typical use cases for Meeting Metrics
Executive and board meetings
In executive and board meetings, a simple summary is often not enough. Traceable decisions, tasks, open points, and clean documentation are needed. Meeting Metrics helps prepare these contents in a structured way and bring them faster into usable minutes.
Municipalities and public organizations
Municipalities work with clear processes, agendas, resolutions, and documentation obligations. Meeting Metrics can consider existing templates and structure minutes closer to actual administrative practice.
Consultancies and client projects
In consulting mandates, much valuable information is lost in conversations. Meeting Metrics turns this into follow-ups, project tasks, reports, summaries, and decision bases.
Physical and hybrid sessions
Not every important meeting takes place in Microsoft Teams. Meeting Metrics is also suitable for on-site conversations, hybrid sessions, or recordings via the mobile app.
Sales and customer success
Client conversations are automatically summarized. Next steps, pain points, objections, and opportunities can be documented more easily and processed internally.
HR and interviews
Conversations can be documented in a structured way and made more comparable. This helps with interviews, employee discussions, and internal feedback processes.
Who is Meeting Metrics suitable for?
Meeting Metrics is particularly suitable for organizations operating in Switzerland, that do not want visible bots in meetings, and require Swiss data storage or Swiss processing.
It is especially relevant for teams that do not only use Microsoft Teams but conduct meetings across various channels. Meeting Metrics is also suitable when German and Swiss German need to be reliably covered, high-quality minutes instead of generic notes are needed, and sensitive conversations must be documented.
Typical users are SMEs, municipalities, associations, consultancies, executive boards, boards of directors, sales teams, customer success teams, and organizations with regular meetings and high documentation effort.
Who is Microsoft 365 Copilot suitable for?
