AI Meeting Notes Comparisons 2026

AI meeting-notes tools all promise to capture a call and hand back a clean summary, but they differ sharply on the numbers that move the bill: how much free transcription you get, how the per-user minute or credit pool scales, whether a bot visibly joins the call or it runs quietly in the browser, and how deep the CRM auto-fill goes. This page collects every head-to-head we have run across Otter.ai, Fireflies, Fathom, Granola and Tactiq so you can jump straight to the matchup you care about. Prices come from each vendor's live pricing page and were re-checked on the date shown, because these tier plans change often enough that we verify rather than guess.
