Our take

Pick Granola if you're a founder and small teams who want notes from device audio and will pay when 30-day history runs out. Pick Otter.ai if you're on a sales and CS team who want notes without a dedicated notetaker. Skip Granola if you're people who want a calendar bot in every Zoom (MeetGeek) or a local meeting window on the Mac (Superwhisper). Skip Otter.ai if you're people who only need noise cancel (Krisp) or
