Free; Pro $37/person/mo (annual) · Free plan: yes Sorts Gmail or Outlook and also drafts replies in your tone and records meetings with follow-up emails. Much pricier per person and credit-based; Gmail and Outlook only, where SaneBox also covers IMAP, Exchange, iCloud and Yahoo.
An owner or small client-facing team losing hours in Gmail or Outlook could evaluate Fyxer for sorting, reply drafts in the user's tone and meeting follow-ups. Pro is $37 per person a month on annual billing for a busy inbox; Team adds shared follow-ups and context for colleagues handling clients. Keep the sending boundary clear: Fyxer drafts, it doesn't send the answer for you. EU residency, SSO and a DPA are listed as Enterprise-only, so include that plan decision if they are required. A lower-tier price is not the relevant budget when one of those controls is mandatory.
- Never sends on its own: drafts land in your inbox for review.
- Covers inbox, meetings and follow-ups in one tool, inside Gmail or Outlook.

Mail Starter $25/member/mo (annual); $30 monthly · Free plan: no A full AI email app with Split Inbox, Write with AI, reminders and team comments, but you switch apps and it supports only Gmail and Microsoft 365 accounts. SaneBox keeps your current app and costs a fraction.
Superhuman Mail is a change of email workflow for founders, sales staff and consultants doing most of their client work in the inbox. It offers AI triage, reply drafts in the user's voice and follow-up reminders. Starter is $25 per member a month on annual billing; Business at $33 adds Auto Drafts, Ask AI, CRM panels and Grammarly, Docs and Go. Check that package against what you already pay for. There is no free plan, and the supported mailbox must be Google or Microsoft 365. We wouldn't choose it for EU residency or for someone who only wants occasional AI help without leaving the current inbox.
- Built for speed: keyboard-driven app with Split Inbox, Snippets, Send Later and read statuses for people who process lots of email.
- Strong follow-up tools: Remind Me, Auto Reminders and (on Business) follow-up drafts in your voice.

$30/user/mo (annual, enterprise add-on) · Free plan: no Drafts, rewrites and summarises in Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams when you ask, but doesn't filter your inbox in the background. Needs an eligible Microsoft 365 Business plan.
Copilot's clearest starting audience is an organization standardized on Microsoft 365, ready to pilot it in Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. It grounds assistance in work emails, files and meetings under Microsoft's existing security and compliance controls. The price needs care: $30 per user a month on an annual commitment is additional to a qualifying Microsoft 365 licence. Test the work before rolling that cost across the workforce. A Google Workspace company needs a different starting point. If general AI chat is all the team needs, check the eligible no-extra-cost Copilot Chat entitlement before buying the paid add-on.
- Built into Microsoft 365 apps people already use, so less change management.
- Grounded in your own Graph data with existing permissions respected.

$20/seat/mo (annual, 2-seat min) · Free plan: yes Start with ChatGPT Business if a company of 2 to 200 people needs a general assistant for writing, research, analysis and coding. It adds administration and no training on company data by default. Standard seats are $20 per user a month annually, with $100 Premium seats available for heavier users. Count the minimum bill: Business requires at least two paid seats, so it isn't a single-user purchase. SCIM, role-based access, IP allowlisting and EU data residency are Enterprise-only requirements. If any is essential, we would settle that plan decision before inviting the team or estimating the seat cost.
- Broad toolkit in one seat: chat, ChatGPT Work, Codex, deep research, data analysis and images.
- Flexible seats: mix $20 Standard and $100 Premium seats; add credits for usage peaks.

Free; Team $15/user/mo (annual, 2-user min) · Free plan: yes Fathom Free is where we'd start for a freelancer or consultant mainly needing recordings and transcripts: both are unlimited for individuals. A small sales or client-service team can then evaluate CRM sync and coaching as separate reasons to pay. Don't confuse the cheapest seat label with the cheapest bill. Team and Business require at least 2 users, which limits their appeal for a solo buyer wanting team features. There is also a clear residency constraint: Fathom stores all data in the United States. If EU storage is mandatory, we would rule it out before comparing the meeting features.
- Generous free plan: unlimited recordings, transcription and AI summaries for individuals.
- Bot-free option (beta, Mac) alongside a classic meeting bot.

Free; paid from $10/seat/mo (annual) · Free plan: yes Fireflies belongs on a small team's shortlist when Zoom, Google Meet or Teams notes need to become searchable records in a CRM or Slack. Free offers a substantial transcription allowance; Pro at $10 per seat a month annually adds unlimited AI summaries and integrations. Try the handoff rather than assuming a transcript alone completes the job. If the team only meets a few times a month, there may be little reason to buy those extras. EU-only meeting-data processing is a constraint, and SSO and admin controls require Enterprise. Check those requirements before inviting everyone to the workspace.
- Generous free plan: unlimited transcription with auto-join, plus desktop, mobile and Chrome capture.
- Cheap paid entry: Pro at $10 per seat (annual) adds unlimited summaries, video and all integrations.

Free; Business $14/user/mo (monthly) · Free plan: yes Granola's main reason to consider it is the capture method: it uses computer audio and combines your jotted notes with a transcript, without inviting a bot. That can suit a founder, consultant, agency lead or small sales team moving between calls. Business is $14 per user a month with no seat minimum. Decide which record you need before subscribing. Granola isn't for keeping replayable audio or video recordings, and it doesn't meet needs for file imports or EU data residency. Below Enterprise, there is also no annual discount to trade against the monthly price. We would choose it for notes, not a recording archive.
- No bot in the call: device-audio capture keeps client meetings natural.
- Notes stay yours: your own jotted notes guide the AI summary, and notes are private by default.

Free; Business $20/seat/mo (annual) · Free plan: yes Notion Business makes most sense for a small agency, consultancy or startup already comfortable keeping documents, a wiki and projects together. At $20 per seat a month on annual billing, it includes AI Meeting Notes and Notion Agent rather than requiring separate purchases for those features. It could replace overlapping subscriptions if the team actually uses the workspace; that isn't a measured saving. Buying it solely for a notetaker or chat assistant is harder to justify. Budget time to build a useful structure, too. If EU data residency is required, the relevant option is Enterprise, not Business.
- AI meeting notes, Notion Agent and search on Business; Custom Agent usage may need separate credits.
- One workspace for docs, wiki, databases, forms and sites.

Free; Pro $8.33/user/mo (annual) · Free plan: yes If most of your day is spent in Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, Otter offers transcripts, summaries and searchable history with a free starting plan. Pro is the first paid option to check for an individual or very small team; Business removes meeting-minute caps as needs grow. The reasons to rule it out are worth reading before the demo. Data is stored in AWS US West, de-identified recordings can train its models, and SSO requires at least 100 licences. We would not choose it when EU residency, avoiding that training use or a small-team SSO purchase is a firm requirement.
- Usable free plan (300 minutes a month) and a low Pro price on annual billing.
- Works across Zoom, Teams and Meet plus in-person recording on mobile.
