Granola vs Timeless

Granola

• People who do not want a recording bot visible in their calls
• Note-takers who like to type their own points and have them filled out afterwards
• Back-to-back meeting schedules across Zoom, Google Meet and Teams

Timeless

• Teams that want meetings grouped by customer or project
• Developers connecting meeting history to Claude Code, Codex or their own tools
• Conversations that move between Hebrew and English

Granola

• The free Basic plan shows only the last 30 days of notes; older notes need a Business subscription to view.
• Notion, HubSpot, Attio, Affinity and Zapier integrations start on Business; Salesforce, SSO and SCIM are Enterprise only.
• Basic and Business are billed monthly only; annual billing is offered on Enterprise contracts.
• There is no web app or browser extension, and the Mac app needs macOS 14 or later.

Timeless

• The Free plan covers 5 AI meetings of up to 90 minutes each; the pricing page does not say the allowance renews.
• API, MCP and webhook access are limited to Max for individuals and Business for teams; the Team plan leaves them out and needs at least 3 seats.
• SAML single sign-on and custom data retention policies are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
• The site offers a phone recorder through a QR code but names no App Store or Google Play app; downloads are listed for macOS and Windows.

Granola

Bot-free capture

Transcribes from your device's microphone and system audio, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or other call software without adding a participant to the meeting.

Notes built on what you type

Type rough notes during the call and Granola expands them into a full write-up using the transcript. Custom templates control the structure of the result.

Chat across meetings

Ask questions about one meeting or your whole history, such as what you agreed to do this week. Basic uses automatic model choice; paid plans let you pick the model.

Shared folders

Notes are private until you share them. Shared folders give a team a common place for meeting notes and are included on every plan.

MCP and API access

An MCP connection lets assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT read your meeting notes. Basic exposes personal notes from the last 30 days; API access starts on Business.

Phone apps for in-person meetings

The iPhone and Android apps take notes away from the desk, for walking meetings, conferences or coffee catch-ups, and there is an Apple Watch app.

Timeless

Recording for calls and rooms

Timeless records Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings, phone calls and in-person conversations. The desktop app notices when a call starts and offers to record, and a bot can be sent to a meeting.

Transcripts with speakers

Every word is transcribed with speaker identification, including conversations that switch between Hebrew and English. Meeting notes are available in more than 60 languages.

Rooms

A room holds the meetings, recordings and documents for one customer or project, so questions and new documents draw on all of them together.

Meeting documents

Summaries, recaps and custom pages are generated from each conversation and can be emailed, downloaded, copied or exported to Google Docs and Notion.

Chat, agents and playbooks

A chat answers questions across the meeting history, with agents called in by typing a slash. Playbooks run on their own when a conversation ends and deliver the result to other tools.

API, MCP server and webhooks

Max and Business include a REST API, an MCP server and webhooks for meetings, transcripts, recordings, documents and rooms, with setup guides for Claude Code and Codex.
