Decision summary

Choose if

Choose Fireflies when its desktop system-audio capture or meeting-participant workflow matches your platform and the resulting transcript needs to enter a reviewed follow-up process.

Compare before choosing

Compare Granola when a notes-first device capture is preferred, or Otter when the searchable retained meeting record is the main deliverable.

Verify before adoption: Test desktop system-audio and participant-bot capture separately. Verify recording disclosure for the selected meeting and jurisdiction. Review transcript and follow-up data before any connected-system write. Compare the [Fireflies vs Fathom sales workflow](/en/articles/fathom-vs-fireflies-sales-workflow) before enabling CRM field updates, deal signals, or customer follow-ups.

About Fireflies

Fireflies is an AI meeting assistant that records or accepts uploaded conversations, creates transcripts and summaries, and turns meeting content into a searchable record. Teams can review discussions, find details, track action items, and share notes so every colleague does not have to attend every call. It supports Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and other conferencing services, with transcription in more than 100 languages. Users can work through desktop and mobile apps, a Chrome extension, integrations, and an API. The free tier includes unlimited transcription and AI summaries, but storage is limited to 400 minutes per team and includes 20 AI credits. Paid plans add more storage and workflow features; Pro adds video recording, downloads, AI Skills, Voice Agents, task management, and unlimited integrations. Buyers should compare per-seat pricing, annual billing discounts, storage allowances, and AI-credit limits against expected meeting volume. Planning qualitative research? Use [the customer interview meeting-notes workflow](/en/articles/ai-meeting-notes-customer-interviews) to compare consent, capture, and synthesis requirements. Before rolling out meeting capture, use the [AI meeting notes privacy checklist](/en/articles/ai-meeting-notes-privacy-checklist) to test consent, retained artifacts, sharing, integrations, retention, and deletion.
