What our research says

Claap

Most meeting recorders stop at a summary; Claap's point is the CRM write-back, with deal scores and structured fields instead of a transcript you have to re-key. API and MCP access to the archive is rarer than it should be in this category. The downside is a pricing page that never renders actual numbers, so you go in on a single figure quoted on the homepage.

Pros

  • Writes structured notes and deal scores into HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio and Pipedrive
  • Captures in-person meetings through a mobile app, not just video calls
  • Transcription across more than 100 languages
  • API and MCP access to the recording archive, unmetered even on the free tier

Cons

  • The pricing table shows no figures, leaving one homepage number to plan against
  • Free tier is a trial in practice: 10 videos and 300 minutes in total, not per month
  • AI credits are metered separately from recording minutes

Fireflies.ai

Unlimited transcription on the free tier is the hook and it is genuinely unlimited — the meter sits on storage and AI credits, which is where any team of real size ends up on a paid seat.

Pros

  • Transcription minutes are unlimited on every tier, including Free
  • API access is not paywalled — it starts on the free plan
  • Pro at $10/seat undercuts most rival meeting assistants
  • Storage becomes unlimited from the $19 Business tier

Cons

  • Monthly billing is about 1.8x the annual rate on Pro and 1.5x on Business
  • AI credits, not transcription, are the real ration — 20 a month on both Free and Pro
  • Free storage is 400 minutes for the entire team, not per person
  • Enterprise is annual-only at $39/seat
