Pick Fireflies.ai if…
you need a full video recording of each call, downloadable transcripts, or conversation intelligence for sales.
Fireflies sends a notetaker bot into Zoom, Teams and Meet and pipes the results into CRM, Slack and analytics. Granola takes a different route to the same output: you type your own notes during the meeting and it blends them with the transcript into a shareable summary.
Pick Granola ($14/mo per user for Business) if you want your own notes improved and connected to Notion, Slack, HubSpot or Claude/ChatGPT via MCP — at the lower price. Pick Fireflies.ai ($18/mo per seat) if you want every call recorded with video and transcripts downloadable.
