Fireflies.ai** - My default recommendation for a team. ~$10/user/mo (Pro), a genuinely usable free tier (~800 min), 100+ languages, and it auto-logs calls to HubSpot/Salesforce. Transcription accuracy is a notch below Otter (~90-93% vs ~93-95% in clean conditions) but the summaries and search across your whole meeting archive are what teams actually use day to day.\n\n**2.
