Quiet Machines vs Zocks

Zocks is the safest notetaker in wealth. We're what installs the other six workflows.

Last updated April 13, 2026 · By Quiet Machines

Zocks earned its reputation for a reason: it's SOC 2 Type II, it stores only the notes — no audio, no video — and it passes security review at firms where other tools don't. If privacy is your gating concern, start with Zocks. This page is for the firms asking what comes after the meeting layer.

Zocks owns the meeting; the rest of your week stays manual. We wire the rest. See Wealthbox + Claude and Wealthbox + Zoom for what an end-to-end install looks like.

Who each is actually for

Different things. Often on the same desk.

Zocks

The privacy-first meeting AI.

Zocks is built for advisors who need the note-taking win without the security review nightmare. It's SOC 2 Type II certified, stores only text (no audio/video), integrates cleanly with the major advisor CRMs, and is priced per advisor per month. Among the Jump/Zocks/Finmate/Zeplyn cohort, Zocks is the one that wins enterprise-grade security reviews most easily.

Quiet Machines

One human. A stack of workflows. Three days on-site.

Quiet Machines doesn't compete with Zocks — it wraps around it. We come in, watch how your firm actually works, and install a stack of AI workflows on top of your existing stack. If you already use Zocks, we wire it into your Client Brain and everything else. If you don't, we'll either install it for you or build the meeting layer in Claude directly.

When to pick which

We'll tell you when Zocks is the right call.

Pick Zocks when…

  • Privacy and security review are your #1 decision criteria.
  • You only need the meeting layer right now.
  • Your firm already has solid systems for everything else.
  • You're comfortable with SaaS and want to start today.

Pick Quiet Machines when…

  • You want Zocks and lead scoring, compliance, content, and touch points — all wired together.
  • You've been burned by tools nobody on the team actually uses.
  • You want one human who builds it, trains your team, and picks up the phone.
  • You'd rather pay once and own the stack than stack monthly SaaS forever.
Questions we actually get

Frequently asked.

Is Zocks good enough on its own?

For many firms, yes — if meetings are your only real pain and your other systems are humming. Zocks is a genuinely excellent tool. We only show up when there are six other things the AI should be doing too.

Do you install Zocks for us?

If you want us to, yes. More commonly, firms are already using Zocks when we arrive and we wire it into the rest of the Client Brain and the other workflows.

Will Quiet Machines pass our compliance review?

We don't need to — we don't become a vendor. The tools we wire in (Zocks, Claude, your CRM) all stand on their own security posture. We're the human who installs them.

What if we fire you in month 4?

Every tool is in your name, on your bill, with your data. You keep everything we built. The residency produces an Operator Runbook your team can run from — with or without us.

When is Zocks the better choice over Quiet Machines?

When the firm only needs the one capability Zocks provides and doesn't want a broader installed system. If your only gap is meeting-note capture, Jump or Zocks is faster to deploy than a full QM install. If you have six gaps, an installed system pays back faster.

Can we use both Quiet Machines and Zocks?

Yes, and many of our clients do. We're tool-agnostic — we'll wire Zocks into the broader stack if you already pay for it. The workflows don't replace point tools; they connect and orchestrate them.

What does switching from Zocks to Quiet Machines look like?

You don't switch — you add. Keep Zocks running while we install. After 60 days, decide whether Zocks is still earning its monthly fee. Most firms keep it for the workflow it's best at and let QM handle the rest.

What's the price comparison over 24 months?

Quiet Machines: $50,000 install + ~$2,500/mo optional retainer = $80,000 over 24 months. Zocks's typical SaaS pricing in this category runs $300-1,500/mo per seat, so a 5-seat firm is at $36K-180K over the same window. Apples to oranges — different scope — but the math is comparable.
