Should you choose Meeto or Fireflies.ai?
Choose Meeto if
- You want to hold the meeting and get its notes in one place, without a bot in the participant list.
- Guests should join from a link in the browser, with no account and no app.
- You want video recording and the summary from the same plan for $6.99 a month.
- You also want booking pages that put each confirmed booking into its own Meeto call.
Choose Fireflies.ai if
- Your meetings run on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or another conferencing app and will stay there.
- You want free, unlimited transcription; Meeto's free plan has none.
- Your meetings run in many languages and you want a vendor that lists 100+.
What do your guests see: a bot or a notice?
With Fireflies, the notetaker is invited to the meeting by address or joins from your calendar, so it appears in the call as one more participant. Your guests on Zoom, Meet or Teams see it in the participant list.
In Meeto, nobody joins. The host starts AI summary from the call controls and chooses who gets the summary afterwards: only the host or everyone in the call. Everyone else in the call then sees a notice that the host started an AI summary, a badge stays visible while it runs, and people who join later see the notice too.
Either way, say at the start that the meeting is being transcribed; recording consent rules differ between countries. Meeto's privacy guide covers what to tell participants, and meeting recording explains how video capture differs from the AI summary.
What Meeto does not do
Meeto is built for small meetings that start from a link, a booking page or a website button. Paid plans hold up to 25 participants, and Meeto does not offer:
- End-to-end encryption
- Webinars or livestreaming
- Breakout rooms
- Polls
- Phone dial-in
- SSO / SAML single sign-on
- Live captions over the call video
If any of these is a requirement, test it in Fireflies.ai or another tool first. The full Meeto limits are on the pricing page and the security overview.
