What the two pages add up to
- Neither needs a bot in the call: both record on the user’s own computer.
- Krisp has a seven-day trial rather than a free plan; Granola has a free plan that keeps 30 days of history.
- Krisp’s paid plans include audio and video recording and noise cancellation; Granola’s pricing page does not list video.
Which matters for your meetings
Both record on the computer rather than as a guest, so the choice turns on other things: Krisp is also a noise-cancelling tool and offers only a week's trial before paying, while Granola has a lasting free plan with a month of history. Krisp's pricing page lists video recording; Granola's lists none.
What that comes to, worked out
A week in, the two part ways. Krisp's free access ends after seven days, and keeping it means its Core plan at $8 a user a month billed yearly, $96 a year. Granola's free plan carries on, keeping the last 30 days of notes. A year of Granola's Business plan, at $14 a user a month, comes to $168. So for someone ready to pay, Krisp is the cheaper of the two and adds video recording; for someone who is not, only Granola has a free plan that lasts.
The sums use only the numbers quoted above. Yearly prices are the monthly figure times twelve.
Where Meetful is different from both
Meetful is a meeting app rather than a notetaker you add to someone else's call. It transcribes each person from their own microphone, so every line carries the name of whoever said it without guessing, and there is no bot in the participant list. The notes, the recording and the transcript are free, and anybody in the meeting can leave themselves out of the notes.
