Fireflies is a mature, broad meeting assistant: a free plan with real transcription, API access on every tier, AskFred for questioning past meetings, and Pro at $10 a seat billed annually with video recording included. The company says it has been profitable since 2023, which is reassuring in a crowded category.
Watch two things. AI credits are metered and expire each period, so heavy AskFred users should check the allowance. And Illinois biometric-privacy suits over voiceprints of non-consenting participants are pending, so anyone recording external callers should settle consent and retention policy before rolling it out.
What we found
Fireflies.ai is a meeting assistant from Fireflies.AI Corp., the company Krish Ramineni and Sam Udotong started in 2016. Its bot joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls from a connected calendar, or a Chrome extension captures a call without a bot, and the output is a transcript, an AI summary with action items and a searchable archive that the AskFred assistant can answer questions about. The pricing page lists transcription in more than 100 languages, desktop and mobile apps, file uploads and API access on every plan, Free included. Newer additions are Talk to Fireflies, a voice command inside meetings that can search the web through Perplexity, and Fireflies Talk, a dictation tool the company says is free and unlimited on every plan.
The business is unusual for the category. In June 2025 Fireflies said a tender offer for early employees valued it at more than $1 billion, that it had been profitable since 2023 and that it had raised no primary capital since 2021. These are the company's own figures, and the valuation came from a share sale to staff rather than a priced funding round.
Plans are per seat. Free gives 400 minutes of storage per team and 20 AI credits. Pro is $18 a month, or $10 billed annually, and adds video recording, downloads and 8,000 minutes of storage per seat. Business is $29, or $19 annually, with unlimited storage, conversation intelligence and team analytics, and Enterprise is $39, annual only, with SSO, SCIM and HIPAA. AI credits expire each billing period, and the September 2026 terms describe an Auto-Upgrade option, off by default, that moves a subscription up a tier when credits run out.
The legal risk is real. Illinois biometric-privacy suits allege the speaker-recognition feature builds voiceprints of participants who never consented. The first was filed in December 2025 and closed in March 2026; two more are pending in federal court in Chicago, beside a separate suit in California. Teams recording outside callers should settle consent first.
