Fireflies.ai looks cheap at $10 a seat, but the real cost depends on storage, AI credits and whether you need CRM sync. This guide explains each plan, how the credit system works, where the free plan stops and who should upgrade. Prices change, so confirm them on Fireflies’ pricing page.
Fireflies.ai pricing at a glance
Free: $0.
Pro: $10 per seat a month billed annually, or $18 monthly.
Business: $19 per seat a month billed annually, or $29 monthly.
Enterprise: $39 per seat a month, billed annually only.
What each plan includes
Free gives unlimited transcription when auto-join is on (reported for accounts created from September 2026), about 400 minutes of storage shared by your team (older articles say 800) and a small pool of AI credits.
Pro adds 8,000 minutes of storage per seat, 20 AI credits a month and a two-hour limit per meeting.
Business adds unlimited storage, 30 AI credits a month, video recording and three-hour meetings, and is the tier reviewers point to for CRM sync and conversation analytics.
Enterprise adds 50 AI credits a month, SSO and compliance features such as HIPAA.
How AI credits work
Transcription is unlimited on every plan, but the smarter features run on monthly credits: the AskFred assistant, advanced summaries, action items and highlights. Pro gets 20 credits, Business 30 and Enterprise 50. When credits run out, those features stop until the next month unless you buy more. Credit packs are sold from $5 for 50 credits, and reviewers say heavy users can spend noticeably more than the base price.
Storage matters on lower plans
Storage is a total cap, not a monthly one. Free keeps about 400 minutes for the whole team and Pro 8,000 minutes per seat. If you record a lot, you’ll need to delete old meetings or upgrade.
What a team really pays
Per seat, annual billing is $120 a year for Pro and $228 for Business, and monthly billing is $216 and $348. A five-person team on Business annual pays about $1,140 a year before credit top-ups.
Is Fireflies worth it?
Yes if you hold many meetings a week and want integrations and CRM workflows at a low annual price.
Probably not if you want unlimited free summaries, where Fathom is stronger, or no bot on the call, where Granola fits. Fireflies also faces two biometric privacy lawsuits in Illinois, which are unresolved. See our guide to recording consent, our Fireflies review and our Fireflies alternatives.
