How does Granola compare with the alternatives?
Choose Notion AI Meeting Notes when decisions already live in Notion, and Granola when people want one notepad across every meeting app. Both capture meetings without a bot: Granola from a standalone app on every plan, Notion from its desktop app on Business and Enterprise. Granola sends notes to Notion one at a time.
A team that needs a replayable record picks Otter, and people who want their own notes pick Granola. Granola keeps no recording and builds notes around what you type. Otter keeps audio for playback, imports recorded files, and can send a notetaker to meetings you skip, at US$30 a Business seat billed monthly against US$14 for Granola.
Copilot in Teams summarizes and transcribes Teams meetings inside Microsoft 365. Granola captures device audio with no bot across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in-person meetings, from US$14 per user per month. Copilot is the simpler buy when meetings already live in Teams and people use Copilot beyond meetings.
Fireflies sends a visible notetaker that keeps audio, video from Pro, and a transcript, and emails recaps to every invitee by default. Granola keeps text only and no bot joins. Granola Business is US$14 per user billed monthly, against US$18 for Fireflies Pro billed monthly or US$10 billed annually.
