Fireflies.ai has four tiers: a Free plan, Pro at $10/seat (annual; $18 monthly), Business at $19/seat ($29 monthly), and Enterprise at $39/seat billed annually. The unusual part is that transcription minutes are unlimited on every plan — even free. What actually scales with price is storage, AI credits, analytics, and security. Here's exactly what each tier gives you.
Fireflies plans at a glance
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Storage | AI credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 400 min/team | 20 |
| Pro | $18/seat | $10/seat | 8,000 min/seat | 20 |
| Business | $29/seat | $19/seat | Unlimited | 30 |
| Enterprise | — | $39/seat | Unlimited | 50 |
Every tier includes unlimited transcription, unlimited AI summaries, speaker identification, and mobile plus desktop apps. Annual billing is a meaningful discount — Pro drops from $18 to $10, Business from $29 to $19.
Free plan
Fireflies' free plan is unusually generous: unlimited transcription and AI summaries, 20 AI credits, basic integrations, and both mobile and desktop apps. The limits are 400 minutes of storage for the whole team and no video recording. For a solo user with occasional meetings, it's genuinely usable — you just can't hoard a large transcript library or record video.
Pro — $10/seat ($18 monthly)
Pro is the value sweet spot for individuals and small teams. For $10/seat annually it lifts storage to 8,000 minutes per seat, adds video recording, transcript downloads, AI Skills, and unlimited integrations. If you record meetings regularly and want them all kept, this is the plan to buy — the free plan's storage cap is the main thing it fixes.
Business — $19/seat ($29 monthly)
Business is the team plan. For $19/seat annually you get unlimited storage, conversation intelligence (sentiment, talk-time, topic detection), team analytics, multi-language mode, user groups, and 30 AI credits. If you're running a sales or revenue team and want analytics on top of transcripts, this is the tier — the intelligence features are Business-only.
Enterprise — $39/seat (annual only)
Enterprise, at $39/seat billed annually, adds the governance and security features larger orgs need: a rules engine, SSO/SCIM, audit logs, HIPAA compliance, private storage, a dedicated account manager, and 50 AI credits. If you're not bound by compliance requirements, Business covers the same day-to-day functionality for less.
AI credits explained
Fireflies meters its AI features — AskFred queries and generated content — with an AI-credits system: 20 on Free and Pro, 30 on Business, 50 on Enterprise. Transcription and standard summaries don't consume credits, but heavy use of the AI assistant can. It's the most-cited frustration in reviews, so if you plan to lean on AskFred constantly, factor the credit ceiling into which tier you pick.
Is Fireflies worth it?
Yes, if you value integrations and unlimited transcription. Pro at $10/seat is one of the better deals in the note-taker market — unlimited transcription plus video and generous storage for the price of a coffee run. Business at $19 earns its keep for teams that want conversation intelligence flowing into a CRM.
Where it's less compelling: if you're a solo user who just wants clean notes, Otter's Pro is a touch cheaper at $8.33/month, and Granola is the pick if you'd rather skip the bot entirely.

Is the Fireflies free plan good enough?

What are Fireflies AI credits?
