Granola review

Granola takes a different approach from bot-based recorders. It captures audio from your device, so nothing joins the call, and it merges a transcript with the notes you type into a finished document. Apps run on desktop, iOS, Android and Apple Watch. The free Basic plan includes AI meeting notes, custom templates, speaker tagging, voice typing in any app, shared folders, a Slack integration and AI chat across meetings, but keeps only 30 days of history. Business costs $14 per user per month and adds unlimited history, a choice of AI models, pre-meeting briefs, follow-up emails, a workspace dictionary, integrations with Notion, HubSpot, Attio, Affinity and Zapier, and API access. Enterprise at $35 adds SSO, Salesforce, admin controls and org-wide deletion periods. The free plan suits occasional use, but the 30 day history limit and the move of Notion, HubSpot and Zapier to Business mean regular users will pay, and teams that live in Salesforce need Enterprise.

Who it is for
