Springbase vs Fireflies.ai
Fireflies captures the call.Springbase turns it into the work.
Read Fireflies' pricing to the bottom and you find the catch: AI credits are a one-time allocation granted at sign-up and pooled across your whole team. Springbase gives you credits that refresh every month, 61 AI models to spend them on, and the tools to actually finish what the meeting started — from $9.99, flat, never per seat.

Why teams move from Fireflies to Springbase
Every Fireflies figure on this page comes from their own pricing page and help centre, linked on each row. Here is what changes when you switch.
Credits that come back every month
Fireflies grants AI credits once at sign-up and pools them across your whole workspace — they do not scale with seats and they do not refill. Springbase credits reset every month: 1,000 on Starter, 3,000 on Pro, 10,000 on Max. A typical meeting costs a couple to process, so you are budgeting for work, not rationing a balance.
One flat price instead of per seat
Fireflies is $18 per seat per month on Pro and $29 on Business. Springbase is $9.99 or $19.99 flat, with no per-seat billing and no minimum. For a team of five that is the difference between a line item that grows and one that does not.
Every major model, and the work after the call
Fireflies publishes no model picker. Springbase routes each task to whichever of 61 models suits it — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity — and turns the meeting into approved plans, finished documents, and agent runs across 1,000+ apps.
Inside Springbase
What you get once the transcript exists
Every call becomes memory you can query
Transcripts are indexed the moment processing finishes. Ask a question in March about a call from January and the answer cites the exact moment it came from — and any meeting, or all of them, can be attached to a plan as grounded context.
Revenue grew 23% in Q3, led by enterprise expansion and higher annual prepay conversion.1 2
The pricing notes point to stronger expansion in the enterprise tier, while the revenue meeting calls out repeat-work automation as the key buying trigger. 3
Action items that actually get done
Plan Mode turns what was agreed on the call into editable steps you approve before anything runs. The output is not a reminder to do the work — it is the work, drafted, structured, and ready to ship.

The real comparison
The notetaker is one line on the invoice
Fireflies records and summarizes. Something else answers your questions. Something else moves work between tools. Per person, per month, at list price:
Springbase Starter does all three jobs — meetings, the AI you ask, and agents that move work between apps. Pro at $19.99 adds every frontier model and still comes in under a single ChatGPT Plus seat.

Questions people actually ask
How do Fireflies AI credits actually work?
According to Fireflies' own knowledge base, credits are granted once when you sign up and are pooled at the team level — they do not scale with the number of seats and are not a monthly allowance. Standard transcription and recap emails are not charged against them, but AI Skills, Voice Agents, CRM autofill, and AskFred are. Springbase credits reset every month with your plan.
Does Springbase have anything like Live Assist?
No. Fireflies coaches you during the call; Springbase has no live layer. Our work starts once the meeting ends, with the summary, decisions, and action items, and everything you can then build from them.
Is transcription unlimited on Springbase too?
Meetings are unlimited on every paid plan with no length cap. The practical limits are your monthly credits — a typical meeting costs a couple to process — and workspace storage, which is 5 GB on Starter and 25 GB on Pro.
Can I import my Fireflies transcripts?
No. There is no bulk migration. You can upload individual audio files, but past Fireflies meetings stay in Fireflies.
Do you integrate with my ATS?
Very likely — we connect to over 1,000 apps, and agents can read a call and update records in your ATS or CRM with your approval before anything is written. Check your specific tool in the integrations list, and if it is missing, tell us and we will look at adding it.
What does $9.99 actually include?
Starter gives you 43 AI models — including Claude Sonnet 5, GPT-5.6 Terra, Gemini 3.5 Flash, and Grok 4.6 — plus unlimited meetings, Plan Mode, Canvas, agents, and 1,000 credits a month. Pro at $19.99 adds the frontier flagships.
