PRICING PAGE REFRESH -- FREE STORAGE HALVED TO 400 MINUTES PER TEAM, MONTHLY AND ANNUAL PRICES SPLIT, A $39 ENTERPRISE SEAT, AND 'AI CREDITS' ON EVERY PLAN (verified 2026-10-06, vendor pricing page): fireflies.ai/pricing now lists **Free** at $0 with 'Unlimited transcription*', **400 mins of storage/team** and 20 AI credits; **Pro** at **$18 month-to-month or $10 per seat/month billed annually** with 8,000 minutes of storage per seat and 20 AI credits; **Business** at **$29 or $19 annual** with unlimited storage, 30 AI credits and team analytics; and **Enterprise at $39 per seat/month, 'ANNUAL ONLY'**, with 50 AI credits. Against the March 2026 version of this page: the free storage allowance dropped from 800 to 400 minutes, the headline Pro and Business prices hold only if you pay annually (monthly is 80% and 53% higher), and the AI-credit meter is new to this page. The page also promotes **Fireflies Talk**, 'free, unlimited dictation wherever you type'. The asterisk on unlimited transcription is not expanded on the page. Scores unchanged; the value score already assumed annual pricing.

Microsoft MAI-Transcribe-1.5

7.9

Microsoft's in-house speech-recognition line. **MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming launched 2026-10-01 -- Microsoft's first real-time streaming transcription model, ranked No. 1 on Artificial Analysis for both final and partial transcripts, 60 languages with continuous language detection, first partial hypotheses just over 100 ms after audio arrives, at an introductory $0.54 per hour of audio through the end of 2026.** It sits beside the batch **MAI-Transcribe-2 (2026-09-03, $0.10 per hour)**, which superseded the 1.5 model this page was built on: diarization, configurable styles, word-level timestamps, No. 1 on FLEURS across 60 languages. Microsoft pairs the streaming model with the new MAI-Voice-2.1-Flash for voice agents.

B

Otter.ai

7.5

Joins your meetings, transcribes everything, and gives you a summary so you can actually pay attention. **Pricing re-verified 2026-10-05: Basic stays free at 300 minutes/month with a 30-minute cap per conversation; Pro is $16.99/user/month monthly and annual billing drops Pro to $8.33; Business is $30 monthly or $19.99 annual and now advertises unlimited meetings and imports instead of a 6,000-minute cap.**

B

Notion AI

7.0

**Notion's 2026-10-13 release lets Business and Enterprise members connect a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription to cover their Notion AI usage with no markup, adds a Skills API that syncs Skills to ChatGPT and Claude, column-level database permissions, admin controls for MCP-connected agents, rebuilt GitHub/Jira/Salesforce synced databases and seven new models including GPT-6.1 Sol and Opus 5.5.** **Notion 3.7 (2026-09-15)**: Agent skills for the whole team -- reusable instructions that teach Notion Agent how your team works, kept in a shared skills library and run with a slash command. **Model controls (2026-09-09)**: Business/Enterprise workspace owners can now pick which AI models Notion Agent and Custom Agents may use and set a default -- a cost and compliance lever the page lacked. Also new since July: suggest-edits mode (8/28), a model picker with scorecards (8/14), the Developer Portal in the sidebar (8/19), and AI Meeting Notes triggering Custom Agents (7/31). AI built into Notion -- Custom Agents exited beta 2026-05-04/05 with admin controls (per-agent spend caps, workspace caps, auto-pause on limit) and credit billing live at $10 / 1,000 credits (~$0.17-$0.33 per agent run) as an add-on to Business/Enterprise
