Fred against Krisp's audio capture

Fireflies.ai's bot is named Fred. It joins a live meeting by invitation or joins your calendar meetings automatically. Fireflies.ai's pricing table also lists a Chrome extension that records without the bot, so bot-free capture is not unique to Krisp.

Krisp captures the call from your computer's audio by default. Its own bot is optional, starts at Core, appears to other participants as a separate participant and joins only Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. The Krisp Bot needs the host's approval to enter.

Storage, recording length and AI credits

Fireflies.ai measures storage in minutes: Free keeps 400 minutes per team, Pro 8,000 minutes per seat and Business unlimited storage. Krisp measures it in gigabytes per user: 10 GB on Core and 60 GB on Advanced, dedicated to each seat and not pooled. The units differ, so the numbers do not compare directly.

AI credits are a usage allowance for some AI features: Fireflies.ai lists 20 on Free and Pro and 30 on Business, and its Free plan adds limited AI summaries. Fireflies.ai caps recording length at 2 hours on Free and Pro and 3 hours on Business, while one Krisp recording runs up to 4 hours and a call under 30 seconds is not captured.

In-person meetings on each mobile app

Both vendors list a phone route for meetings held in a room. Fireflies.ai's pricing page lists unlimited in-person recording on its mobile app, a feature that draws on AI credits. Krisp's help center says its mobile app records in-person meetings with a single tap, its home page says it works offline, and the Core tile lists in-person meeting notes.

Krisp's mobile app has no noise cancellation yet, and Krisp's home page points to the desktop app for online calls and for recording in-person meetings. The guide to in-person meeting notes compares phone and laptop options.
