Granola and Notion bring notes into your daily work. Compare their seat prices and recording workflows here; the upload calculator above does not assume their plans cover any monthly volume.
Choose Granola when your main goal is capturing and sharing notes from live conversations.
Business: $14.00 per person / month
Basic is free, with 30 days of meeting history.
Start Granola during a meeting to capture microphone and computer audio without a bot. It keeps transcripts and notes, not a playable recording.
Choose Notion if you want meeting notes in your team’s existing workspace, especially when your plan already includes them.
Business: $24.00 per person / month
Free and Plus include a limited trial of AI Meeting Notes.

Consider GoTranscript or Rev’s human service. You’re paying for human work, with delivery times and add-ons to check. TranscribeCat leaves that review to you.

Trint comparison →Why TranscribeCat exists
An interview, a lecture, a recording you need to read. Upload it, see the price, review the text alongside the audio, then download it. Speaker labels and exports are included.
$2/hour · $2 minimum per file
No subscription required. If you need a meeting bot, a video editor or a human-reviewed transcript, pick a service built for that. If a free plan covers your files, try it first.
