Notta vs. Fireflies.ai

Both Notta and Fireflies.ai help you eliminate manual note-taking processes, record sessions, and generate transcripts. However, Fireflies.ai focuses more on the meeting rather than transcription. On the other hand, Notta is all-in-one AI-enabled software capable of recording, transcribing, and even summarizing virtual meetings.

1. Cost-effective Pro plan

Both Notta and Fireflies.ai adopt a seat-based billing system. Despite being a feature-rich recording and transcribing tool, Notta offers affordable and lower pricing on the Pro plan, which starts at $14.99 per user per month. With the paid plan, Notta offers multiple features, such as real-time transcription, importing audio/video files to generate transcripts, and AI Summary Generator. We also provide a Notta bot, so you can automate the recording and transcribing process. 

In contrast, the Fireflies.ai Pro plan starts at $18 per seat, billed monthly. Compared to Notta, Fireflies.ai meeting assistant offers transcription only in 30+ languages in its free plan. You can also access other features like AI Super Summaries, smart search filters, and custom vocabulary. However, they are available only in paid plans.

2. Transcribe accurately in multiple languages

As the best Fireflies.ai alternative, Notta supports more languages and offers high accuracy. 

Languages Supported: Fireflies.ai currently only supports 69+ transcribing languages, whereas Notta takes things up a notch by offering transcription in 100+ languages, dialects, and accents. This makes Notta more versatile compared to Fireflies. Besides, Notta lets you instantly translate the transcripts into 42 languages, making it the best choice! 

Accuracy: There's no point in transcribing the virtual meetings if you've to spend time editing and proofreading. Notta provides a higher transcription accuracy rate of 98.86%, whereas Fireflies.ai has a 90% accuracy rate for most meetings. Hence, you can rest assured that Notta eliminates the hassle of editing the transcribed text.

3. Schedule meetings seamlessly

Notta's free-to-use scheduler feature lets users create detailed events and share the joining link with the participants. The sole purpose of scheduling meetings via Notta is to eliminate the time spent with back-and-forth emails. 

In contrast, Fireflies.ai does not offer any such scheduling feature. You need to schedule meetings via Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook Calendar directly from the Fireflies dashboard.

4. Various file import formats

With Notta, you can transcribe 5-hour audio and video files up to 10GB. It supports multiple file formats, including WAV, M4A, CAF, AIFF, AVI, MP3, MP4, RMVB, FLV, MOV, WMV, and WMA. You can also directly paste the audio or video URL from Dropbox or Google Drive to transcribe them in no time. 

In contrast, Fireflies.ai lets you transcribe files less than 100 MB and 150 minutes long. Unlike Notta, Fireflies.ai supports fewer formats, such as MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4. There is no option to directly transcribe audio or video files from Google Drive or Dropbox, a feature which Notta excels at!
