Granola: Pricing, Features & Alternatives (2026)

The AI notepad for back-to-back meetings

Overview

Granola takes meeting notes from device audio without a bot joining the call. You can type your own notes and it rewrites them with the transcript, then drafts follow-ups on paid plans. Notes older than 30 days require a paid plan.
