Fireflies.ai vs Notta
The split is free-tier generosity vs paid feature depth. Fireflies.ai: Free (three meeting transcriptions by default, with Auto Join unlocking unlimited transcription for supported meetings and recordings; 400 min storage with the unit unconfirmed across official pages; 20 one-time AI credits per seat), Pro $18/seat/mo ($10 annual, 8,000 min/seat storage), Business $29 ($19 annual, unlimited storage, CRM integrations, conversation intelligence), Enterprise $39 annual-only (SSO, HIPAA). Note the separate AI-credit meter: advanced outputs like AskFred consume credits beyond the subscription. Notta: Free (120 transcription min/mo, 3-minute per-conversation cap — nearly unusable for real meetings), Pro $13.49/mo ($8.17 annual, 1,800 min), Business $27.99 ($16.67 annual, unlimited transcription), 58 languages, Webex support, translation add-ons. Fireflies is the better free-tier value and CRM integration pick; Notta is cheaper per paid seat and stronger on languages. There is no measured accuracy winner in this review.
| Decision point | Fireflies AI | Notta |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Teams that search meeting records and route reviewed summaries into follow-up work. | People who need transcripts, then export or share reviewed records. |
| Plans and cost | Free is available, with limited AI summaries. The pricing page lists 400 minutes of storage per team, while the Free-plan help page says per seat; the account-level unit remains unresolved. Pro or higher is required for downloads of transcripts, summaries and recordings. | The official support page lists Pro at USD $13.49 monthly or $97.99 prepaid annually; Business is USD $27.99 per seat monthly or $199.99 per seat annually. |
| Limitations | Official pages disagree on the Free storage unit: the pricing page says 400 minutes per team, while the Free-plan help article says per seat. Confirm the account entitlement. Storage is a finite capacity, not a monthly refill. Desktop Take Notes does not save replayable media. | Free recordings have short per-task limits, transcript downloads require paid access, and privacy modes differ. |
Use the same input
Have both bots join five 30-minute meetings in two languages. Compare transcripts, summaries, and CRM sync, then price a 10-person team.
What a successful result must preserve
Both must bot-join the same five multilingual meetings, produce transcripts and summaries, and the monthly cost must fit within published plan allowances.
