Fathom vs Fireflies.ai vs Granola
Automatic notes, transcripts and action items from calls. The interesting difference is whether a bot visibly joins your meeting.
All 3 checked against the vendor's own pricing page · checked Sep 2026
Which should you pick?
Granola captures and transcribes on your own machine without sending a bot into the call, which is the reason people switch to it and matters if your meetings are with clients who would notice. Be clear on what that does and does not mean: the audio stays local, but the notes themselves are generated and stored in the cloud. Fireflies is the most complete for teams, with CRM integrations and a searchable archive across everyone. Fathom is free for individuals and is genuinely useful at that price, which makes it the obvious starting point if you are the only user.
