AI Meeting Notes
Recorders and notepads that transcribe your calls and write up the summary and action items for you.
Our top three AI meeting note takers
The first two are close. Fireflies.ai comes first because it runs on the web and Android as well as Mac, Windows and iPhone, and its paid plan costs less. Fathom's Free plan gives more, with unlimited recordings, storage and transcription, but there is no Android app. Granola is third for people who want no bot in the call. Otter.ai narrowly missed: its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.8 from about 83,000 ratings, but its Pro plan stops at 1,200 minutes a month. tl;dv's Free plan stops AI notes at 10 meetings a month, and TwinMind's has no such cap but keeps speaker separation for its Max plan.
First: Fireflies.ai
Free plan · from $10/mo
For: Most people
Fireflies.ai records, transcribes and summarizes calls on the web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with a Chrome extension. Its notetaker can join a call as a bot, or the Mac and Windows app can capture device audio with no bot in the meeting. Transcription is unlimited on every plan, and Pro, at $10 per seat a month billed annually, makes AI summaries unlimited. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.8 from about 5,200 ratings. Know the limits: the Free plan limits AI summaries, stores 400 minutes per team and has no transcript downloads or video recording, Pro is $18 billed monthly, and every teammate added to a paid workspace counts as a paid seat.
iPhone and iPad app: 4.8 out of 5 on the App Store
Fireflies.ai pricing and detailsSecond: Fathom
Free plan · from $15/mo
For: Anyone who wants to pay nothing
Fathom's Free plan lists unlimited recordings, storage and transcription for Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls, with an AI summary ready when the call ends, plus clips and playlists. Fireflies' Free plan stores 400 minutes per team. It is second because it runs on fewer devices and costs more to upgrade: it is listed for Mac, Windows and iPhone, there is no Android app, bot-free capture works on Mac only, and Premium, the plan for individuals, is $16 per user a month, billed annually. On the Free plan, advanced summaries cover only the first 5 calls each month, and action items and Ask Fathom have limited use.
Fathom pricing and detailsThird: Granola
Free plan · from $14/mo
For: People who want notes without a bot in the call
Granola transcribes from your device's microphone and system audio, so no bot joins, and it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or other call software. Type rough notes during the call and it expands them into a full write-up. It runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 5.0 from about 14,000 ratings. The free Basic plan has no daily transcription limit. It is third because Basic shows only the last 30 days of notes, where Fathom's Free plan lists unlimited storage, and there is no web app or browser extension. Business, at $14 per user a month, is billed monthly only, and the Mac app needs macOS 14 or later.
