Use tool ↗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.

Pros & cons of 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
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.
