Fireflies pricing (2026): plans, free plan limits and AI credits

Fireflies’s plans and prices

Fireflies charges per seat: everyone in the workspace counts, and on a paid plan you pay for each of them. The yearly prices ($10, $19 and $39) only apply when you pay for a year; monthly billing is $18 for Pro and $29 for Business, and Enterprise is yearly only. For more than 50 seats you talk to sales.

Transcription isn’t metered in minutes on paid plans. The limits that matter are storage (the total minutes of meetings you can keep: 400 per team on Free, 8,000 per seat on Pro, unlimited from Business) and the recording limit per meeting (2 hours on Free and Pro, 3 on Business, 4 on Enterprise). Uploaded files have separate monthly limits.

The free plan’s card says “unlimited transcription” with an asterisk while the comparison table says transcription and summaries are “limited”. In practice the 400-minute storage cap is what you hit.

AI credits are separate from the plan price. The credits that come with a plan are one-time and don’t expire; add-on subscriptions start at 50 credits for $5 a month ($4 billed yearly) and are only available on paid plans. Transcription and template-based summaries don’t use credits.

Is Fireflies free?

Yes, with a cap that works differently from most tools. Instead of minutes per month, the Free plan gives you 400 minutes of storage per team, in total. Every meeting you keep counts against it, so a team that records a few hour-long calls a week fills it in a month and then has to delete meetings to record more. AI summaries are limited on Free, and the recording limit is 2 hours per meeting.

What AI credits are and when you need them

Credits pay for the features beyond plain transcription and the standard summary: AI Skills, magic and keyword soundbites, custom summary sections, Voice Agents, Sales Assist, the Slack assistant, CRM autofill for HubSpot and Salesforce, AskFred during Live Assist, and the daily digest and meeting prep, which are on by default.

Credits don’t increase with extra seats and upgrading replaces, rather than adds to, the allowance. Add-on bundles run from 50 credits a month for $5 ($4 billed yearly) up to 10,000 for $600, and unused purchased credits don’t roll over.

Recording without the bot

Every plan lets you record through the Fireflies Chrome extension without the notetaker joining, and the desktop and mobile apps record in-person conversations. The meeting still goes to Fireflies’ cloud for transcription and storage. If you want nothing to join and nothing to leave your computer, see the Fireflies alternatives; if Fred keeps turning up in calls, our guide to removing AI meeting bots has the steps.

What Fireflies does with your meetings

Bot, or bot-free capture. Web dashboard, Chrome extension, desktop app, iOS and Android apps; the notetaker joins Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and other platforms

• Storage: meeting notes and transcripts are encrypted with 256-bit AES at rest and TLS in transit. The security page doesn’t name a cloud provider or region; the privacy policy says servers in the United States and other countries. Private Storage, on Enterprise, lets you choose where meeting data is kept.
• Training: the security page says meeting data is never used for AI model training, and the privacy policy says Fireflies doesn’t use personal information to train models. Vendors are contractually barred from training on it, and Fireflies describes a zero-data-retention arrangement with them.
• Compliance: Fireflies says it’s certified for SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA, and holds ISO 42001. A BAA for healthcare and a DSA for education are available on Enterprise with Private Storage.
• Deleting: you can delete your data at any time, and account information is deleted within 30 days of closing an account. Custom retention periods are an Enterprise feature. Someone who was in a recorded meeting but doesn’t use Fireflies has to ask the meeting host to delete it.
