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

Supernormal

Supernormal now suits people who want meeting notes without a visible bot and like the idea of an agent drafting the deck or sheet that follows the call. Teams that relied on its old bot, recordings or CRM and project-tool integrations lost them in 2026, and should compare Otter, Fireflies or Fathom first.

Pros

  • Desktop capture means no bot in the meeting
  • Agents act on follow-ups instead of just listing them
  • Unlimited seats on paid plans, sharing one credit pool
  • Notes private by default; MCP server for other tools

Cons

  • Recording and native integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Asana, Zapier and others) were retired in March 2026
  • Only 50 credits a month on paid plans, with the cost per task unpublished
  • Capture is limited to six languages
