How we grade them
| 2.4GPAClaapFair | 3.2GPAFireflies.aiVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $32 a licence a month billed yearly, $40 monthly, well past where this category's dearest tenth starts. And the bits in its own tagline, CRM auto-complete and coaching, need Business at $60, booked through a sales demo. People who only watch get free Basic seats, which helps a bit. | CPro is $10 a seat a month billed yearly, which is exactly the middle of this category, and $18 if you pay monthly. Conversation analytics need Business at $19, and every teammate you add counts as another paid seat. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is free, but it's a taster: 10 recordings per user and 300 minutes in total, not per month, kept for 3 months. That's five hour-long calls and you're through it. | CTranscription is unlimited, which sounds generous until you meet the storage: 400 minutes for the whole team. AI summaries are limited too, and you can't download a transcript or record video. Free dictation with Fireflies Talk is a genuinely nice touch. |
| Features | BIt covers the job: Zoom, Meet and Teams recorded with or without a bot, meetings in the room on your phone even when it's locked or offline, summaries, transcripts in 99+ languages, and on Business CRM fields filled in and reps scored. There's an MCP server for Claude too. | ATwo things here its rivals don't do: notes come either from a bot in the call or from your computer's own audio with nothing showing in the meeting, and an MCP server hands your meeting history to Claude or ChatGPT. The rest is the full job, plus AskFred over old calls and free dictation into any app. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and there's setting up to do: sync a calendar so recording starts by itself, pick bot or no bot, and on Business map your CRM fields and write the coaching framework. Business itself starts with a sales demo. | A4.8 from about 5,200 App Store ratings, the top of this category. Connect your calendar and the notetaker joins your meetings without being asked. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, a Mac recorder, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, hooked into Zoom, Meet, Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion and Claude. Windows people get the extension or the bot rather than a desktop app, and the API is Enterprise only. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, connecting to Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Asana and dialers like Aircall, with an MCP server that opens your meetings to Claude and ChatGPT. |
| Best for | sales teams that want call notes in the CRM | teams that want every call searchable |
