Pros and cons

Fireflies.ai

Pros

  • Permanent free tier with unlimited transcription and 100+ language support.
  • Works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and other platforms, plus file uploads.
  • Broad integrations covering CRM, ATS, dialers, Slack and an MCP server.
  • Conversation analytics and team insights on the Business plan.
  • Web, iOS, Android and Chrome extension coverage plus a desktop app with a public API.

Cons

  • Free plan limits AI summaries and caps storage at 400 minutes per team.
  • Per-seat pricing rises quickly for teams: Business is $29 per seat on monthly billing.
  • AI credit pools are small (20 to 50 per plan), and some features consume credits.
  • HIPAA compliance, SSO and audit logs require the sales-led Enterprise plan.

Runway

Pros

  • Combines video, image and audio generation and editing in one workspace
  • Offers Runway's own Gen-4.5 plus third-party models such as Seedance 2.0
  • Creative Agent builds videos from a conversation

  • Free plan with 125 credits that do not expire
  • Native iOS and Android apps

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing: a 5-second Gen-4.5 clip costs 60 credits, so the 625 credits on Standard cover about 10 such clips
  • Standard and Pro credits do not roll over at the end of the month
  • Some App Store reviewers complain about the cost of failed or unusable generations
  • 4K upscaling is unlimited only on Pro and Max
