Fellow vs Fireflies.ai

Fellow

• Companies that need admin control over who can record and see meetings
• Teams that want notes pushed into Jira, Asana or Linear
• Mixed schedules of video calls and in-person meetings

Fireflies.ai

• Teams that want every call transcribed and searchable in one place
• People who want apps on web, desktop, phone and a Chrome extension
• Sales and recruiting teams that log calls to a CRM or applicant tracker

Fellow

• The Free plan allows only 5 AI notes and 5 AI recordings per user in total, not per month, and tops out at 5 seats.
• Team is still capped at 10 AI notes and 10 recordings per user each month; unlimited use starts on Business.
• Plans cap workspace size: 20 seats on Team and 50 on Business. Enterprise requires at least 10 users and annual billing.
• Salesforce and HubSpot integration needs Business, and Okta or OneLogin SSO needs Enterprise.

Fireflies.ai

• The Free plan stores 400 minutes per team, limits AI summaries and does not include transcript downloads or video recording.
• AI Skills, custom summary sections and soundbites draw on AI credits; plans include only a one-time allowance and extra packs start at $5 a month.
• Conversation intelligence starts on Business. SSO, SCIM and HIPAA compliance are Enterprise only, and Enterprise is billed annually.
• Every teammate added to a workspace counts as a paid seat on paid plans.
