AI Meeting Assistants
Granola: features, pricing and who it fits
Granola runs as a desktop app that listens to device audio, so no bot appears in the call, and it blends the transcript with notes you type yourself. Business costs $14 per user, and SSO and SCIM arrive with a $35 Enterprise tier. You start each meeting by hand, and data is hosted in the US.
Who Granola is for
Best for
- Individuals and teams who dislike visible bots in calls
- In-person and any-platform meetings
Look elsewhere if
- Teams needing automatic recording
- Buyers needing non-US data hosting
