Where they pull apart

Fireflies

Stands out: Fireflies transcribes in more than 100 languages and includes API access even on the free plan, which suits multilingual desks and teams that want to pipe transcripts elsewhere.

Watch out: The free plan limits AI summaries and stores only 400 minutes per team. There is no ATS writeback, and conversation intelligence and multi-language mode sit on Business.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need notes filed on candidate records in an ATS
  • Free plan users who need a long searchable archive

Noota

Stands out: Noota records without a bot on every plan, covers phone calls with your own number as well as video interviews, and connects to ATS and CRM tools from Pro.

Watch out: Pro caps transcription at 1,000 minutes a month and a 10 seat workspace. The Hiring Agent is a separate $199/user/mo plan, and EU data centre hosting is on Hiring Agent and Enterprise only.

Not the right fit for

  • Heavy users on Pro who would pass 1,000 minutes a month
  • Teams that only want a free general meeting recorder
