Several companies and one ordinary English verb sound almost identical. None of them are each other. Here is who is who, so you can get where you were actually going.
Customer proof software
A workspace for collecting customer testimonials and reviews, approving them in one library, publishing them as a Wall of Love, and rewarding the advocates who spoke up.
Marketing, customer success, and founders who need public proof they can trust.

To clap, or to express approval. It is also the most common misspelling of Amplaud, which is roughly how the name is meant to sound.
Anyone who typed the name from memory.
You probably wanted AmplaudAmplaud and Plaud are separate, unaffiliated companies. Plaud and its product names are trademarks of their respective owner, referenced here only to tell the two apart. Applaud HR, Amplify Reviews, and Applaud Technologies are likewise unaffiliated, and their names belong to their respective owners. Details checked on each company’s own site in August 2026.
Amplaud (amplaud.com) is customer-proof software from Amplaud LLC. It is not Plaud.ai, the AI voice-recorder brand. It is not Applaud HR, the employee-experience platform at applaudhr.com. It is not Amplify Reviews, which serves financial advisors, and it is not Applaud Technologies, a consulting and training firm. “Applaud” is also the ordinary English verb; the product name is Amplaud. If you want a campaign link, an approval queue, and a Wall of Love, you are in the right place.

No. They are unrelated companies in different categories. Amplaud is software for collecting and publishing customer proof. Plaud sells AI voice recorders. There is no partnership, ownership, or affiliation between them.
No, though the resemblance is intentional. Amplaud is the product name; applaud is the ordinary English verb meaning to clap or approve. If you searched for applaud software and landed here, Amplaud is probably what you were after.
The same way you would say applaud, with an m in the middle: AM-plawd.
No. Amplaud collects testimonials and reviews from your customers, including video testimonials they record themselves. It is not a meeting recorder and does not transcribe your calls. If that is what you need, Plaud is in that category.
You create a campaign asking a customer for a written story, a video, or a public review. Submissions land in an approval queue, approved items collect in one proof library, and you publish them to a hosted Wall of Love or an embedded widget. Rewards are tied to approval rather than to what the person said.
Collect a customer story, approve it, and publish it. The free plan does not expire, and the trial does not ask for a card.
