Fireflies.ai Pricing 2026: Free, Pro $10, Business $19, Enterprise $39

Fireflies.ai costs $10 per seat a month on Pro when billed annually, or $18 on monthly billing; Business is $19 per seat annually ($29 monthly) and Enterprise $39 per seat on annual billing only. The Free plan is $0 with unlimited bot transcription, 400 minutes of storage and 20 AI credits. A 10-seat team pays $1,200 a year on Pro annual against $2,160 month to month, by our arithmetic.

Fireflies is the meeting notetaker that joins Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls, transcribes them in 100-plus languages and writes the summary, and its pricing has two layers most buyers miss. The seat price buys transcription and summaries; a separate pool of AI credits, shared by the whole team and sold as a second subscription once it runs out, pays for the assistant features. This page prices both layers.

Every figure was read on Fireflies' pricing page on October 26, 2026, with the credit, storage and upload rules from its help center articles on AI credits, storage and rate limits and the Free plan the same day. Whether the product deserves the seat is the Fireflies review; this page is about the invoice.

Toolradar data: Toolradar, the software directory we run, tracks 174 transcription tools as of October 25, 2026, and 71% of them offer a free tier, so a free Fireflies plan is the category norm rather than a gift; among the 20 transcription tools priced per user, Fireflies' entry seat ranks #7 against a median of $14.50 per user a month. The figures are on the transcription statistics page and Fireflies.ai on Toolradar, where it is listed as an alternative to 82 tools, the third most of any transcription tool. Techpresso data: this newsletter reaches 800,000+ readers as of November 8, 2026, with an open rate of 37%.

Fireflies plans at a glance

Prices are per seat per month in US dollars. The page's "save up to 44%" banner is the Pro discount, since $10 against $18 is a 44% cut by our arithmetic, while Business saves 34% and Enterprise has no monthly price to discount.

How does Fireflies pricing work?

You pay per seat for transcription, and the team shares one pool of AI credits on top. Each person who records meetings needs a seat, and the seat price depends only on the plan and the billing term. Transcription, note-taking and recap emails are covered by the plan and never consume credits, which Fireflies' credits guide states in bold.

The credits pay for everything the company calls advanced AI: AskFred questions during a live meeting, the Personal Assistant's daily digest and meeting prep, custom summary sections, AI soundbites and Voice Agents. Two of those, the daily digest and meeting prep, are switched on by default and burn credits on a schedule until an admin turns them off in the AI Skills settings. Credits are charged per query at a rate that varies with the complexity of the request, so no fixed number of questions maps to the 20, 30 or 50 credits a plan starts with.

The pool does not grow with seats. A 10-person Business team starts with the same 30 credits as a solo user, and upgrading replaces rather than stacks them: moving from Free to Business leaves 30 credits, not 50. When the plan credits run out on a paid plan, Fireflies subscribes the workspace to the lowest credit tier automatically, $5/mo for 50 credits, and moves an existing credit subscriber up to the next tier; both auto-upgrades can be paused from the settings. Fireflies' own pages disagree on one detail: the credits guide calls plan credits one-time and non-expiring, while the Free-plan article describes the free allowance as monthly.

What each plan includes

Free: unlimited transcription with 400 minutes of storage

The free plan records and transcribes every auto-joined meeting without a cap, and the limit is what you can keep. Storage is 400 minutes for the team, so a user who records five one-hour calls a week fills it in about a week and a half, by our arithmetic, and must delete old recordings to store new ones. Summaries are limited, downloads need a paid plan, uploaded files are capped at 100 MB and 150 minutes each and consume a transcription credit apiece, with 3 to 10 of those credits granted at sign-up depending on where you sign up. There is no video recording and no integrations beyond the conferencing apps.

Pro: $10 per seat annually, $18 monthly

Pro lifts summaries to unlimited, adds video recording, lets you download transcripts and recordings, and turns on the integrations. Storage becomes 8,000 minutes per seat, which is about 133 hours of meetings each, by our arithmetic, or roughly 130 one-hour calls before anything has to be deleted. The $8 gap between annual and monthly billing is the largest on the page in percentage terms, which is why the 10-seat scenario below is the one to study before choosing a term.

Business: $19 per seat annually, $29 monthly

Business is the first plan with unlimited storage, and the one that adds conversation intelligence, team analytics for admins, user groups, public meeting access and the multi-language mode for calls that switch languages mid-meeting. Its 30 starting credits are the only credit difference from Pro, so a team buying Business for AI features alone is paying $9 more per seat for 10 more one-time credits; the sales-analytics and admin features are the real reason to step up.

Enterprise: the top seat, annual billing only

Enterprise is sold through sales, carries no monthly option, and adds the controls IT asks for: SSO and SCIM provisioning, audit logs, a rules engine, custom data retention, a transcript-and-summary-only mode that stores no recording, a super admin role and private storage. HIPAA compliance with a BAA and the education DSA are available on Enterprise with private storage, per the security section of the pricing page, and the dedicated account manager carries an asterisk the page does not explain.

What AI credits cost when the plan's run out

Credit subscriptions are sold only on paid plans, renew on the chosen interval, and unused purchased credits do not carry over, on monthly or annual billing. On an annual credit plan an auto-upgrade is charged pro rata against the annual cycle rather than as a new monthly line. A team that leaves the daily digest running for 10 people should expect the 50-credit tier to kick in early and plan for the 200-credit tier at $16/mo on annual billing.

What a 10-seat team pays in a year

The scenario is a 10-person team on one Fireflies workspace, every seat on the same plan, with the plan's own credits and no top-up. Each row is our arithmetic on the printed per-seat prices.

Monthly billing costs a 10-seat Pro team $960 a year, 80% more than the annual price, by our arithmetic, so month to month only makes sense for a team that expects to cancel inside seven months. Business on annual billing lands at $2,280, under what Pro costs on monthly billing, which turns the usual "upgrade or not" question on its head: a team paying monthly for Pro could move to Business, pay annually, and still spend less. The credit line is small next to the seats, $192 a year on the annual 200-credit tier, but it is the line that appears without anyone choosing it.

The same team costs $999.60 a year on Otter.ai's Pro plan at its annual rate, which is why Otter vs Fireflies spends its time on storage, languages and team features rather than on a gap of about $200. The wider field, including Fathom's free recordings and Granola's per-user plan, is ranked in best AI meeting assistants.

Gotchas and hidden costs

• Uploads have an overage. Files from external sources are limited to 3,000 minutes per source a month for an individual, and 3,000 minutes multiplied by the user count for a team, capped at 150,000; minutes beyond that cost $0.01 each.
• Two AI features spend credits by default. The daily digest and meeting prep run on a schedule from day one; a workspace that never opens the AI Skills settings pays for them.
• Credits trigger their own subscription. Running out on a paid plan starts the $5/mo tier automatically, and a later shortfall moves the workspace up a tier, unless auto-upgrade is paused.
• Upgrading does not add credits. The new plan's starting credits replace the old ones, so a Free user who waits to upgrade until the 20 credits are gone gets 20 fresh ones on Pro, not 40.
• Enterprise has no monthly option and no self-serve checkout, so a short pilot at that tier is a sales conversation.
• Storage on Free and Pro is a total, not a monthly allowance. The 400 and 8,000 minutes cover everything stored, and only Business and Enterprise lift the cap.

Which Fireflies plan should you choose?

Stay on Free if you record a few calls a week and can delete as you go: transcription is unlimited, and 400 minutes of storage is the only wall. Buy Pro annual the day you need to keep recordings, download transcripts or connect a CRM, and pay for the year, because the monthly rate costs the same 10 seats $960 more. Choose Business when admins need talk-time analytics, topic trackers and user groups, or when storage must be unlimited, and remember it brings 10 more credits, not a different credit model. Enterprise is for SSO, SCIM, HIPAA and retention rules, at the top seat price with no monthly escape hatch. The recording workflow itself is covered in how to transcribe a meeting automatically.

Methodology and sources

Seat prices, billing terms, storage and included credits were read on Fireflies' pricing page on October 26, 2026. Credit prices, auto-upgrade rules, default-on features and the one-time nature of plan credits come from Fireflies' AI credits guide; storage totals and the upload overage from its storage and rate limits article; the free plan's transcription credits and upload caps from its Free plan article, all read the same day. Otter.ai's annual Pro price was read on Otter's pricing page the same day. The 10-seat totals, the savings, the discount percentages and the storage-in-hours figures are our arithmetic on those printed prices. Toolradar figures are from its transcription category as of October 25, 2026.
