People look past Fireflies.ai for reasons we documented in its profile. The Free plan has limited AI summaries, and storage and AI credits are capped per seat. The lowest prices also need annual billing: Pro lists at $18 per seat per month, or $10 when billed annually, and Enterprise is annual only.
Start by deciding what you need from the tool. If you want another meeting notetaker, Otter.ai is the closest match. If you live in Microsoft 365 and want Teams-native summaries, look at Microsoft Copilot, which needs Microsoft licensing. NotebookLM analyzes documents and Descript edits audio and video with text, and neither is a meeting recorder or bot.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.

Otter.ai is the other notetaker in our profile, and it fits if you prefer its interface. Its limits differ from Fireflies, so check its own profile before switching.
Microsoft Copilot gives Teams-native summaries and suits teams that live in Microsoft 365. It needs Microsoft licensing.
Not for recording meetings. NotebookLM is for source-based note analysis of documents, and Descript is for editing audio and video with text. Neither is a meeting bot.
The documented reasons are limited AI summaries on the Free plan, storage and AI credits capped per seat, and cheapest rates that require annual billing.
