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

MeetGeek

The cheapest credible notetaker that still ships a real API and MCP server, at roughly half what Otter and Fireflies charge for comparable output. The free tier's three-hour monthly cap is too tight to properly evaluate it, so budget for Pro from day one.

Pros

  • $9.99 per user per month undercuts most notetakers at the same feature level
  • API, webhooks and an MCP server are included on paid tiers rather than enterprise-gated
  • Free plan includes unlimited AI summaries, not just raw transcripts
  • Transcription covers 100+ languages, which most cheap rivals do not

Cons

  • Retention is the real paywall: 3 months of transcripts on free, 1 year on Pro
  • Per-meeting recording length is capped at 2 hours on free and 3-4 hours on paid
  • The bot joins visibly, which some clients and legal teams refuse outright
  • Unlimited transcription only arrives at the $17/user Business tier
