The right meeting assistant depends on how your team works. Explore the use case that best matches your needs.

KrispKrisp
Best when call quality itself is the problem — cleaning the live audio matters as much as the notes afterward.Krisp pairs real-time voice processing with an AI note taker. Noise cancellation and two-way accent conversion run live on the call, and capture is bot-free by default at the audio layer, with an optional bot for Zoom, Meet and Teams.

GranolaGranola

It transcribes audio straight from your device, blends AI notes with what you type, and keeps transcripts and notes rather than recordings.

How they stack up

The clearest split here is the artifact. Krisp keeps the meeting: audio and video recording, unlimited uploads, clips and playback, with storage sized per seat. Granola keeps the thinking: your typed notes, sharpened by AI, with no recording retained. Krisp also cleans the live audio, which Granola does not do.

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 write up a meeting well and both chat across past ones. Granola is prompt-led — Recipes save reusable analyses and it can auto-draft follow-up emails. Krisp is template-led, with an editor that fixes the summary layout, plus highlights and an outline generated on request.

KrispGranola
KrispKrisp

Krisp transcribes in 16 languages, writes key points and action items, and generates an outline on request. A template editor shapes the summary, AI Chat answers across past meetings, and CRM connectors post notes onto records automatically. Automation is trigger-only: Zapier and webhooks fire outward, and the MCP server reads meeting data back out.

GranolaGranola

Granola enhances the notes you type during a call, then lets you chat with one meeting or your whole history from the free plan and auto-draft follow-up emails on paid plans. Recipes save reusable prompts for recurring analyses, and Business plans can pick standard or thinking models. Automation stays manual-first, with Zapier as the push exception.

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.

Beyond the Integration List

API Access
If your team uses custom tools or internal dashboards, the API lets you pull meeting data — transcripts, summaries, action items — exactly where you need it.
MCP Support
A newer standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor read your meeting data directly. No developer needed.
KrispKrisp
Named Connectors
Slack, Notion, Zapier, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Affinity from Core, with Salesforce and ConnectWise added at Advanced. The CRM connectors can post meeting notes onto a contact, company or deal automatically after each meeting. A public API and MCP server are available from Core; the MCP tools read meeting data out, and the API is read-dominant.
GranolaGranola
Manual-First Connections
Six native integrations — Zapier, Attio, Affinity, HubSpot, Slack, and Notion — ship on the Business plan, desktop only. Exports run per note by hand; Zapier’s folder trigger automates pushes into 8,000+ apps. A read-only REST API and an OAuth MCP server open notes to Claude, ChatGPT, and custom tools.
MeetGeek
Automation
Uses a REST API with webhooks — data flows into your tools the moment a call ends. MCP Server connects meeting data directly to models like ChatGPT, Claude, or your own AI. Better suited for real-time automation and broader AI workflow integration.Explore MeetGeek

Decision Checklist

A quick gut-check before you commit

KrispChoose Krisp if…
✓You need the recording afterward — playback, a clip to share, or video of a demo.
✓You have a backlog of existing audio or video files that still need transcribing.
✓Calls happen from noisy rooms often enough that cleaning the live audio matters.
GranolaChoose Granola if…
✓You type your own notes during calls and want them sharpened rather than replaced.
✓Keeping no recording at all is the point — for privacy posture or for consent in your context.
✓Your meetings vary by type and you want the right template chosen without picking it each time.

FAQ

The questions procurement asks.

No. Granola transcribes from your device and keeps the transcript and notes, not a recording. Krisp records audio and video, stores it against a per-seat allowance, and lets you download the audio as MP3.
