Fireflies.ai vs Krisp

Fireflies.ai

Web, macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android

Desktop supports system-audio recording and live assistance. Mobile supports in-person recording, reviewing meetings, search, sharing, and tasks.

Krisp

macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android

Desktop combines recording with noise cancellation and voice features. Mobile supports in-person recording but not noise cancellation.

Fireflies.ai

Mobile and desktop room capture

iOS and Android can capture in-person conversations. Fireflies documents that mobile recordings often do not auto-detect speakers, so names may need manual correction. Bot-free desktop can also hear room/system audio, with its own media and generic-label caveats.

Krisp

Native iOS and Android room capture

Mobile apps record and upload in-person conversations, but Krisp only documents automatic calendar-based speaker names for one-on-one meetings; ad-hoc meetings need manual assignment. The flagship noise-cancellation capability is also unavailable on mobile.

Bot mode saves AV; bot-free desktop saves neither

This is the key evaluation detail: bot meetings can preserve audio/video and named speakers, while desktop bot-free mode produces notes/transcript without recording files and uses Speaker 1/Speaker 2 labels.

Krisp

Bot-free audio and screen/video; optional bot video

Krisp supports bot-free screen and video recording on supported macOS and Windows versions. An optional bot can also retain meeting video. Advanced adds trimming, comments, and more storage. Check storage quotas if your team keeps many recordings.

Notes, search, and a workspace-wide assigned task feed

Fireflies offers meeting search, AI apps, and live assistance. It automatically creates and assigns meeting tasks, lets teams manage all accessible tasks in one feed, and can turn action items into trackable work in several project tools. Usage credits and plan gates still apply to advanced AI apps and assistant capabilities.

Krisp

AI notes plus a centralized, assigned action-item tracker

Krisp automatically generates and assigns action items when calendar identity or transcript speaker identity is available. The workspace action center supports all-team and assigned-to-me views, reassignment, due dates, priority, status, and completion. The shared action center helps teams track follow-up; broader person and company histories are more limited.

Fireflies.ai

Meeting channels and cross-meeting search

The meeting library is searchable and collaborative, but the product is less centered on a unified relationship timeline combining meetings, email, calendar, people, and companies.

Krisp

Meeting library and AI chat

Meetings are searchable and available through AI chat, but the product does not emphasize combined email, calendar, person, and company relationship pages.

Enterprise rules can auto-route, share, and enforce privacy

Enterprise admins can match meeting title, host, participants, or internal/external type, then route to a channel, share with users or teams, or enforce privacy. Recaps default to teammates plus anyone with the link; review that setting before rollout.

Krisp

Calendar, manager, and recurring-channel auto-sharing

Krisp auto-shares transcripts, notes, and recordings to same-workspace calendar invitees when its calendar and join prerequisites are met; the setting defaults on during rollout. Advanced can also route selected users’ external meetings to managers, and recurring meetings can post to Teams channels. The audience logic is useful but narrower than a general title, participant, domain, tag, and destination rule builder.

Meeting rules, AI apps, CRM workflows, and automatic task handoff

Fireflies can automatically create and assign tasks, then route them to Linear, Asana, Monday.com, Planner, Salesforce, and other systems with meeting filters on eligible plans. It also supports specialized AI apps. The experience spans several feature systems rather than one simple general condition/action canvas.

Automatic action items, webhooks, and Zapier; fewer native rules

Core includes action-item, note, and transcript triggers through Zapier and webhooks; a generated action item can create a Jira task through Zapier. Advanced adds team webhooks. Krisp is still less centered on custom AI extraction and a native multi-step condition/action canvas.

GraphQL API, webhooks, and a rich remote MCP server

Fireflies exposes transcripts and core meeting data through GraphQL plus webhooks for custom integrations. Its OAuth or API-key remote MCP server can retrieve full transcripts, summaries, action items, active meetings, analytics, soundbites, channels, and user data; it can also share, rename, organize, and clip meetings. Some advanced search and fetch tools remain experimental. Super Summary and Custom Apps data are still absent from the documented GraphQL API, and content passed into an external AI follows that provider’s retention terms.

MCP with transcripts and tasks, plus webhooks on Core

The hosted OAuth MCP can search meetings, fetch full transcripts and summaries, list action items by assignee or completion state, inspect activity, and read upcoming meetings. Agent access is unusually accessible at the entry tier. Teams needing centralized webhook management move to Advanced, while private deployment is Enterprise.

Business and Enterprise governance

Enterprise adds SSO/SCIM, Rules Engine governance, custom retention, and private storage. Its Super Admin role can access every workspace meeting, including “Only Me” content—useful for compliance, but a material privacy-policy decision. Fireflies says meeting content is never used for internal or external model training.

100+ languages advertised

Fireflies advertises broad transcription coverage. Real-world speaker separation and accuracy still depend on capture mode, room acoustics, accents, and vocabulary.

Adequate for many English-centered teams, but much narrower on paper than competitors advertising 75 or 100+ languages.
