Meeting Sarthi vs Fireflies.ai
Fireflies.ai is a note-taker with a meeting bot and a Chrome extension that records without it. Meeting Sarthi helps you answer during a client meeting and never joins it.
Short answer: choose Fireflies.ai for recorded, searchable meeting notes for your team. Choose Meeting Sarthi for help answering the client while the meeting is on: live captions and a short reply from your own project.
Fireflies.ai details were read on Fireflies’ pricing page and its article on bot-free recording on 12 November 2026. We build Meeting Sarthi.
What Fireflies.ai says it does
Fireflies’ pricing page names Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans; the page we could read did not show their prices. It describes a Fireflies Notetaker bot that joins meetings, a Chrome extension that records “without Fireflies bot”, a desktop app, and “Real-time notes & live transcriptions”. In its own article it describes how a meeting bot works: “A separate account dials into your call and appears as ‘Notetaker’ in the attendee list,” and notes that “Some companies block them”.
