Overview

About Fireflies.ai

Fireflies joins calls on the usual conferencing platforms, transcribes them, and turns each one into a summary, action items and tracked keyword hits that stay searchable across a whole team's history. Notes push back into CRM records, and API access is open on every tier including the free one. Transcription minutes are unlimited on all plans; what the tiers actually ration is storage and AI credits, from 400 minutes and 20 credits on Free to 8,000 minutes per seat on Pro.

How we collect these records

Editorial verdict

Pros & cons of Fireflies.ai

high confidence

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

Best for

  • Sales and success teams who want call notes landing in the CRM by themselves
  • Distributed teams searching across months of past meetings
  • Developers pulling meeting data out through an API on any plan

Not for

  • Companies where recording every call is a compliance problem
  • Solo users who only need a transcript of the occasional call

Watch out: Pro carries the same 20 AI credits a month as Free — the upgrade buys storage and seats, not more AI.
