# Fireflies.ai. Review

An AI meeting assistant that joins your calls, transcribes and summarizes them in 100+ languages, and offers searchable transcripts, action items, and integrati

## Editor's Score: 82/100

Fireflies.ai earns points for its broad transcription, summary, and integration capabilities across four tiers and 100+ language support. It’s easy to use with real‑time notes and AskFred search. Value dips because AI credits are metered and can force upgrades, and the Free tier’s storage cap is tight. Delivery is strong - features match claims and compliance options exist - but the credit model adds complexity.

## Pros
- Unlimited transcription and AI summaries even on Free tier
- Wide integration support (CRMs, Slack, project tools) and AskFred natural‑language search
- Enterprise compliance features (SSO, HIPAA, private storage) in top tier

## Cons
- AI features beyond transcription are metered via credits that can force upgrades
- Free tier’s storage cap (800 mins/seat or 400 mins/team) fills quickly for heavy users
- Video recording and conversation intelligence only available starting at Business tier

## Verdict

Fireflies.ai works well for teams that run frequent virtual meetings and want searchable transcripts, summaries, and integrations. Its trade‑off is a metered AI‑credits model that can push you into higher tiers sooner than expected. If you need unlimited AI features without credit limits, consider Otter.ai instead.

Best for: Teams needing searchable, summarized meeting archives

## Overview

Fireflies.ai is built around capturing virtual meetings automatically across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and others, then transcribing and summarizing them in real time with speaker labels, action items, and AI‑generated summaries in over 100 languages. It stores searchable transcripts and integrates with CRMs, Slack, project tools, and more, letting you pull meeting content into your workflow.
Plans scale from a Free tier with unlimited transcription and limited summaries plus 800 minutes of storage per seat, to Pro ($10 - 18/month) with 8,000 minutes storage, downloads, AI apps, and integrations, to Business ($19 - 29/month) adding unlimited storage, video recording, conversation intelligence, team analytics, and API access, up to Enterprise ($39/month) with SSO, HIPAA, private storage, custom retention, rules engine, and a dedicated account manager. AI‑powered features beyond transcription use metered credits, with one‑time credits per plan and add‑on packs available.

## Who should use it

Teams that run frequent virtual meetings and need searchable transcripts, summaries, and integration into CRMs or project tools will find Fireflies.ai useful. If you want to automate note‑taking, action items, and follow‑ups across Zoom, Meet, or Teams with minimal setup, it fits well. But if you rely heavily on AI‑generated insights and don’t want to manage credit limits, or if you need unlimited AI features without metering, you should look at Otter.ai instead.
