MeetGeek and Fireflies are both AI meeting assistants that record and transcribe your meetings. The biggest difference? MeetGeek can record invisibly without a bot, while Fireflies excels in in-depth analytics and support for more than 100 languages. Which one fits your way of working?
MeetGeek in brief
MeetGeek is an AI meeting assistant that automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings. The tool works with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and supports more than 60 languages. What sets MeetGeek apart: you can record via a Chrome extension without a visible bot appearing in your meeting. This makes it less intrusive for external conversations with clients. The AI summaries are structured with clear action items and decisions. Recently, MeetGeek has added AI Voice Agents: a beta feature that allows AI to actively participate and speak in meetings.
Fireflies in brief
Fireflies positions itself as an AI notetaker with strong analytics. The tool automatically joins your meetings and creates searchable transcripts. What stands out: the in-depth conversation intelligence with sentiment analysis, talk-time ratios, and speaker recognition. Fireflies supports more than 100 languages and has an extensive ecosystem of 200+ AI apps for specific workflows. The AskFred chatbot answers questions about your meetings, and the recent Talk to Fireflies feature combines voice control with real-time web search via Perplexity. For sales teams, Fireflies offers object recognition and conversation metrics that MeetGeek doesn’t have.
MeetGeek vs Fireflies: the differences
The most notable difference lies in how both tools enter your meetings. Fireflies always sends a visible bot to your call. It appears in the participant list and is seen by everyone. For internal meetings that’s not a problem, but external clients sometimes find it intrusive. MeetGeek offers an alternative: recording via a Chrome extension. No one sees that you’re recording. This is practical for sales calls or client contact where you don’t want a bot drawing attention.
When it comes to language support, Fireflies clearly wins. The tool supports more than 100 languages, while MeetGeek stays at 60+ languages. Working in an international team with Spanish, Chinese, and Polish colleagues? Then Fireflies is the safer choice. MeetGeek has added automatic language detection, but the language library is simply smaller.
For analytics and metrics, Fireflies takes a different approach. You get talk-time ratios, sentiment analysis per speaker, and object recognition in sales calls. Sales teams use this to see how long the prospect spoke, which objections came up, and whether the sentiment was positive. MeetGeek offers basic insights like speaking time and keyword search, but lacks the in-depth conversation intelligence. On the flip side, MeetGeek’s summaries are better structured. You automatically get distinctions between action items, decisions, and discussion points. This makes the post-meeting workflow more organized.
Video recording also differs significantly. MeetGeek offers video in the Pro plan at €15 per month. With Fireflies, you need to upgrade to the Business plan at €19 per month. Sounds like a small difference, but for teams of 10 people that’s a €480 difference per year. Another pain point with Fireflies: the AI credit system. Advanced summaries cost credits on top of your subscription. This leads to unexpected costs if you summarize many meetings. MeetGeek has no credit system; everything is included in the fixed monthly fee.
Integrations are a strong point for Fireflies. The tool has native connections with virtually every CRM system, Slack, Notion, and more than 200 specific apps for sales, HR, and project management. MeetGeek has the most important integrations like HubSpot, Slack, and Trello, but for many other connections you need to go through Zapier. That works, but it’s an extra step.
Pricing compared
Both tools have a free plan, but with different limitations. MeetGeek gives you 3 hours of transcription per month with 3 months of storage. Fireflies offers 800 minutes of storage but limits the number of AI summaries and blocks CRM integrations. For real ongoing use cases, free is too limited with both.
For paid plans, Fireflies starts cheaper. The Pro plan costs $1 per month with annual billing, compared to $1 per month for MeetGeek Pro. Paying monthly? Then it’s $1 for Fireflies Pro and $1 for MeetGeek Pro. MeetGeek recently raised prices; the Pro plan used to cost less.
The difference is in what you get. MeetGeek Pro includes video recording, unlimited transcription, and no credit system. Fireflies Pro doesn’t include video; for that, you need to upgrade to Business at $1 per month. And you still have the AI credit system for advanced features. For a team of 5 people, MeetGeek Pro costs $1 per month with everything included. Fireflies Business costs $1 per month, but you get more analytics and language support.
MeetGeek also has an Enterprise plan for $1 per month with monthly billing, but the added value compared to Business is unclear. Fireflies offers custom Enterprise pricing for larger teams with specific compliance requirements.
Conclusion
Fireflies wins for teams that need in-depth analytics, work internationally, or use many CRM integrations. The lower entry price and broader language support make it attractive for growing businesses. However, you have to accept that the bot is visible and that video recording is more expensive.
MeetGeek is the better choice if you want to record invisibly, video recording is important without paying too much, and you want a clear post-meeting workflow without hidden costs. For freelancers and small teams that don’t need complex analytics, MeetGeek is more straightforward to use. The structured summaries save time, and you pay a predictable amount without a credit system.
