Comparison
Fireflies.ai records the call. Minuta helps you answer in it.
Fireflies is a strong team notetaker for recordings, transcripts, summaries, and CRM workflows after the meeting. Minuta is for the moment inside a difficult customer or discovery call when you need the next answer now.
Pick the right one
Fireflies.ai
- You want recordings, transcripts, and summaries available for the team after the call.
- You want the deepest CRM stack — HubSpot, Salesforce, Affinity, Wealthbox, Greenhouse all preconfigured.
- A bot in the call is fine for your prospects and clients, and a visible notetaker helps your workflow.
- You're enterprise-led and SOC 2 + HIPAA-BAA on Enterprise covers your buyer.
- Your team works in 5+ video platforms and you want one notetaker for all of them.
Minuta
- You are in a hard sales, customer, or discovery call in English, Portuguese, or Spanish and need help answering while the call is still happening.
- Your customer's policy blocks third-party bots — sales into legal, healthcare, finance, public sector.
- You want local audio capture plus zero-retention cloud AI processing, not a meeting bot that records the call as another participant.
- You speak Portuguese or Spanish and want the website, not just the transcription engine, in your language.
- You want a real-time answer copilot, not just a post-meeting summary.

Where Minuta wins
- The live moment matters more than the archive. Fireflies is built for recordings, summaries, and follow-up workflows after the meeting. Minuta is built for the answer you need before the call moves on.
- Hard live calls are the problem. Minuta captures audio locally and drafts an answer in your tone while the customer is still waiting.
- Bots can be the wrong shape. Fireflies is transparent about Fred joining as a participant; that works for many teams. In regulated or sensitive sales calls, Minuta stays off the participant list.
- Privacy posture is different. Fireflies's Enterprise "private storage" is still a notetaker cloud. Minuta avoids the meeting bot and uses reviewed zero-retention cloud AI paths for transcription and answers.
- Brazilian and LatAm buyers. Fireflies can transcribe PT and ES via its 60+ language list, but ships an English-only website. We rank natively in PT-BR and ES.
