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

Rango

Rango goes further than a note-taker by acting inside the call, pulling up files or answering questions when addressed by name, and by carrying memory across meetings so past decisions are searchable later. The free plan only covers a single 30-minute meeting, so evaluating the live-participation features requires paying before the second call.

Pros

  • Responds live during a call when addressed by name, not just after the fact
  • Cross-meeting memory lets users query decisions from past conversations
  • Connects to 20+ tools including CRM, email, and issue trackers
  • Meeting hours are metered individually with refunds available

Cons

  • Free tier is limited to a single 30-minute meeting
  • Per-hour pricing can add up for teams with heavy meeting loads
