Quick take
- A meeting bot that records, transcribes and summarises calls, with the longest integration list of any notetaker in this library.
- Free is a trial in practice: about 400 minutes of storage per person and limited summaries. Pro at $10 a seat (billed yearly) is where it becomes useful.
- The bot joins calls from your calendar automatically, and people complain it turns up where it wasn't wanted. Check the auto-join settings on day one.
- Summaries are good enough to send on most days but can mix up who said what. Fathom gives you more on its free plan; Granola writes cleaner notes.
What is Fireflies.ai?
Fireflies sends a notetaker bot into your Zoom, Google Meet or Teams calls. It records, transcribes in more than 100 languages, and sends a summary with action items when the call ends. Every meeting goes into a searchable library, and you can ask questions across all of them. It also transcribes uploaded audio files, has phone apps for in-person meetings, and a desktop app that can capture calls without the bot.
Pick it over Fathom when you want the widest set of integrations (CRMs, project tools, applicant tracking and phone dialers) and lots of languages. In September 2026 it added Fireflies Talk, free dictation in its Mac and Windows apps, and it has an official MCP server so Claude can read your meetings. If you want notes that feel like your own and no bot at all, Granola is the gentler choice.
The catch is the bot. Once it is connected to your calendar it can join meetings you forgot about, and clients notice. The free plan only stores about 400 minutes per person and rations AI summaries. Advanced features like AskFred run on a small monthly allowance of AI credits. Fireflies is also defending an Illinois class action over how it handles voiceprints, so check your own recording and consent rules before you switch it on for client calls.

Which plan should you pick?
