Fireflies.ai Review 2026

AI meeting notes that actually capture what matters

Fireflies.ai scored 79/100 in our testing. Fireflies removed the cognitive tax of 'what did we decide in that meeting?' After 15+ meetings over 3 weeks including client calls, team syncs, and research interviews, the action item detection was accurate 87% of the time — significantly better than generic transcription tools. The searchable archive is the sleeper feature: finding a decision made 3 weeks ago took 12 seconds. The CRM sync makes this genuinely transformative for sales teams. At $10/mo Pro, it's priced correctly for what it delivers. Our verdict: Best AI Meeting Assistant.
