What our research says

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

Goelo

Goelo has dropped its old Salesforce field-filling pitch and is now a plainer sales notetaker whose distinctive part is billing: one workspace credit pool with unlimited members instead of per-seat fees. That suits teams where managers and sales engineers drop into calls now and then; the AI-agent integration that would set it apart is still marked coming soon.

Pros

Unlimited members on every plan, with one shared credit balance instead of seat fees
Sales-specific summary covering budget, timing, decision makers, objections and next steps
Works across Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams from the calendar
Hosted in France on OVHcloud, which helps with EU data-residency questions

Cons

Prices are in euros and metered in credits, so cost depends on call length, AI model and extra summaries
CRM write-back, the old Salesforce field-filling pitch, is no longer described on the site
The AI-agent context feature is still marked coming soon
