Pricing

Plans as listed on each vendor's site when we last checked. Confirm before you buy.

Attribute	Granola	Miro AI
Plans	Basic Free Trying it, or anyone who only needs the last month of notes.	Free Free Trying Miro on one small project.
	BusinessOur pick $14/user/mo Anyone in regular client or sales calls.	Starter $10/member/mo, or $8/member/mo billed yearly Freelancers and small teams who mostly whiteboard.
	Enterprise $35/user/mo Companies that need admin control over who records what.	BusinessOur pick $25/member/mo, or $20/member/mo billed yearly Teams that want the AI features properly.
		Enterprise Custom, from 30 members Large organisations needing control and data residency.
Which plan to pick	Start on Basic and see how it fits your week. If you find yourself wanting a call from six weeks ago, that's your signal to move to Business. Enterprise is only for IT-managed rollouts.	If you only whiteboard and dip into AI now and then, Starter is fine. If you want Sidekicks, Flows and prototypes, you need Business, and agencies benefit from its free client guests. Credits reset monthly and don't roll over, so buy a bundle before a big workshop week rather than mid-session.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Granola	Miro AI
Pros	No bot in the call keeps clients and candidates relaxed Notes read like something you wrote, not a wall of transcript Quick to set up and almost nothing to learn Cross-meeting chat is genuinely useful for follow-ups Phone apps cover in-person meetings	AI works right on the shared board where the team can see it Great for turning messy workshop output into structure Diagrams and Mermaid come out as editable Miro shapes Official MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other AI tools Data residency in Australia on Enterprise
Cons	No video recording or shareable clips The free plan locks notes older than 30 days No annual discount shown, so $14 a user adds up for a team Needs the desktop app running; it won't record from a phone call on your laptop if the app is closed	AI credits are small, pooled and reset monthly, and regenerating costs again The best AI features need Business AI often struggles with large boards and some requests fail Users say AI prompts and pop-ups crowd out basic fixes Pricing risk after Bending Spoons' takeover deal
