Granola vs Read AI

Granola is a meeting-notes application that captures desktop meetings, transcribes them, and creates summaries and action items. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Huddles, and in-person meetings, and offers transcription in 32 languages. Calendar integrations are available. The software runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Granola uses a freemium model. The Basic plan costs nothing per month and keeps 30 days of meeting history. Business costs $14 per user per month and provides unlimited meeting notes and history. Enterprise costs $35 per user per month and adds enterprise security and administration, single sign-on, priority support, usage analytics, organization-wide auto-deletion periods, and controls for sharing and API access. This separates limited free history from unlimited history and broader organizational controls.

Read AI captures meetings and provides transcription, summaries and action items. Its meeting bot supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, and calendar integrations are available. The service is listed for web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and it also supports file uploads. The product listing gives a transcription-language count of 16. The free plan is always free, requires no credit card and allows five meetings per month; its plan details list support for 20+ languages. Paid plans are billed annually: Pro costs $15 a month and includes 100 file upload credits per month. Enterprise costs $22.50 a month with 200 credits, while Enterprise+ costs $29.75 a month with 300 credits and requires at least five licenses. The different language counts given for transcription and the free plan may matter when checking suitability for a particular meeting. Read AI was founded in 2021 and is based in Seattle, Washington, United States.
