THE AI CREDITS SYSTEM
Credits run out and key features stop working
Features like AskFred (AI assistant), advanced summaries, action item detection, and meeting highlights all consume credits. Once you hit your monthly limit, these features pause until next month or you buy more at ~$0.10 each.
| Plan | Included credits | Extra credits | Realistic monthly cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 3-10 | $5 for 50 | $0-5 |
| Pro ($10-18/mo) | 20 | $5 for 50 | $15-30 |
| Business ($19-29/mo) | 30 | $5 for 50 | $25-50 |
| Enterprise ($39/mo) | 50 | Custom | $39-60+ |
Realistic cost estimates based on user reports. Heavy users of AskFred and AI summaries regularly exhaust included credits.
WHAT FIREFLIES ACTUALLY COSTS FOR TEAMS
| Team size | Pro (monthly) | Pro (annual) | Business (monthly) | Business (annual) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | $18/mo | $10/mo | $29/mo | $19/mo |
| 5 people | $90/mo | $50/mo | $145/mo | $95/mo |
| 10 people | $180/mo | $100/mo | $290/mo | $190/mo |
| 25 people | $450/mo | $250/mo | $725/mo | $475/mo |
Base subscription only. Add 20-50% for typical AI credit overages on teams that use AskFred and advanced summaries daily.
HIDDEN COSTS & LIMITATIONS
No video recording on Pro plan
Video recording requires Business ($29/mo). Pro captures audio only. If you need to review screen shares or presentations, you must upgrade.
Pro storage capped at 8,000 minutes
About 133 hours. Teams with 5+ daily meetings can fill this in a few months. When full, delete old recordings or upgrade to Business (unlimited).
Meeting duration caps on every plan
Free and Pro: 2-3 hour max per meeting. Business: 3 hours. Enterprise: 4 hours. Long strategy sessions or workshops may get cut off.
Visible bot joins every meeting
“Fireflies.ai Notetaker” appears as a participant in your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call. This has led to a class-action BIPA lawsuit and university bans.
No refunds after 20 recorded meetings
Fireflies' refund policy limits refunds once you've recorded 20+ meetings, even on annual plans.
