Our take
Pick Circleback if sales and CS teams who want notes plus CRM automations and will pay when 30-day history locks. Pick Granola if founders and small teams who want notes from device audio and will pay when 30-day history runs out. Skip Circleback if people who only want a bot-free notepad (Granola) or a Chrome live-transcript panel (Tactiq). Skip Granola if people who want a calendar bot in every Zoom (MeetGeek) or
