Ways to capture meetings

Meeting assistants should fit naturally into your workflow. Whether you prefer automatic recording, bot participation, or manual uploads, meeting capture should require minimal effort.

Meeting Bot

Joins calls automatically via calendar sync. Lowest friction for Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

Fireflies.aiTactiq
Chrome Extension Recording

Captures the call right from a browser extension — no bot and no desktop app needed.

Fireflies.aiTactiq~
Mobile App

Record from your phone — useful for in-person meetings or calls.

Fireflies.aiTactiq
Upload Audio/Video

Drop an existing recording file to get a transcript and summary.

Fireflies.aiTactiq
In-Person Recording

Capture conversations without a video call. Useful for field teams.

Fireflies.aiTactiq
Desktop App

Native app for system-level audio capture.

As Your Team Scales, Consider

Recording a meeting is only the first step. Over time, organizations often realize that the real value lies in how meeting knowledge is captured, shared, and reused—helping teams stay aligned long after the conversation ends.

AI Capabilities

What happens after the recording

Both meter their AI, and that is the fair comparison. Fireflies grants a one-time pool of sign-up credits, then bills auto-renewing top-ups once it runs out; Tactiq allots 5 AI credits a month on Free and 10 on Pro, unlimited from Team, where one credit is one AI action.

Fireflies.aiTactiq
Fireflies.aiFireflies.ai

Fireflies runs AI Skills on a schedule, answers questions across meetings with AskFred, and exposes a GraphQL API and MCP server on every plan. Heavier AI draws on a pooled credit balance, so high-volume automation needs a look at the meter.

TactiqTactiq

Tactiq is prompt-led and genuinely capable: Ask Tactiq AI works across stored transcripts, AI Kits store reusable prompt sets, and a workflow builder chains steps into Slack, Notion and HubSpot on every plan. AI credits meter how much runs — 5 a month on Free, 10 on Pro, unlimited from Team.

Integrations

The Best Integrations Do More Than Connect Apps

The number of integrations tells part of the story. The real value comes from how effectively meeting insights move between tools, workflows, and teams.

Decision Checklist

A quick gut-check before you commit

Fireflies.aiChoose Fireflies.ai if…
Your meetings run in many languages — Fireflies documents 100+ transcription languages
You need the recording itself — audio to replay, video from Pro — not only a transcript
Capture has to work on a phone, on a desktop app and in a room, not just in a browser tab
TactiqChoose Tactiq if…
Nothing may join the call and no audio or video should be retained anywhere
You want bulk transcript export and a workflow builder without upgrading past the free plan
You are buying for yourself and want the extension to be the whole product, not a platform to roll out
Compare with MeetGeek

One More Comparison Before You Decide

Fireflies grants one-time AI credits and then bills auto-renewing top-ups, and Tactiq caps AI actions at 5 to 10 a month until you reach Team. MeetGeek runs Meeting Skills on a schedule or trigger with no credit meter on any plan, transcribes 100+ languages on every plan, and captures with or without a bot — including in person and on mobile.

FAQ

The questions procurement asks.

For a specific buyer, yes: someone who wants live transcription in the browser with nothing joining the call and no stored media. On captured features Fireflies covers substantially more ground — recordings, 100+ languages, mobile and desktop capture, voice agents — so the two suit different needs rather than competing head-on.
