What is Fireflies AI?

Fireflies turns meetings into searchable transcripts, summaries and action items. It supports a meeting bot plus desktop, mobile, browser and upload workflows. Windows and Mac desktop capture can work without a bot, but that mode does not save audio or video files. Free auto-join can provide unlimited eligible meeting transcriptions; summaries, uploads, storage and AI usage have separate limits. Transcript downloads require a paid plan. Compare the capture method and the output you need before choosing a tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Fireflies free plan include?
Free includes core transcription and collaboration, 20 AI credits per month and 400 minutes of storage. Website signup starts with three transcription credits; other signup methods can differ. Summaries and uploaded-file transcription consume those credits. Auto-join can enable unlimited eligible meeting transcriptions, but that does not remove the separate storage, summary or AI limits.
Is Fireflies' free storage per person or per team?
The pricing card says 400 minutes per team, while the free-plan help page says 400 minutes per seat. Confirm the allocation in your workspace before planning a team rollout. Storage is the amount retained, not a fresh monthly transcription allowance.
Can Fireflies take notes without a meeting bot?
Yes. The Windows and Mac desktop app can capture system audio using Take Notes without adding a bot. This mode generates a transcript and summary but does not save audio or video files. Use the available participant notifications and obtain any required recording permission.
Can I upload an existing recording?
Yes. Free-plan documentation lists MP3, MP4, WAV and M4A uploads up to 100MB and 150 minutes per file, using one transcription credit per file. External uploads also have rate limits, so check the allowance before importing a large archive.
Can I download the transcript for free?
Fireflies' free-plan documentation says transcript downloads require a paid plan. Pro lists downloads for transcripts, summaries and recordings. Bot-free desktop capture does not save audio or video, so upgrading does not create a recording that was never saved.
How much are Fireflies' paid plans?
The pricing page displays Pro at $18 per seat per month with monthly billing or $10 per seat per month billed annually. Business displays $29 monthly or $19 billed annually. Annual figures are monthly equivalents for an annual commitment; confirm currency, taxes, total charge and current features at checkout.
