macOS & Windows — No credits, no surprises
Fireflies changed plan limits and pricing multiple times in 2024 without notice. Credits run out and you get auto-upgraded.
Every meeting recorded by Fireflies is uploaded to their servers. Vendors may retain recordings indefinitely or use them to train AI.
All it takes is one teammate bringing a cloud note-taker into a meeting, and suddenly everyone's data is on someone else's server.
Mumbl processes on your device. No cloud uploads, no credit system, no surprise billing. Lifetime pricing available.

My favorite thing about Mumbl is its simplicity. There aren't any loops you have to go through to make it work and it's intertwined with my device really well. Right now I mainly use Mumbl for school work!
We dropped Fireflies after our security audit. Mumbl gave our team the same speed boost for getting thoughts into text but everything stays on our machines. Compliance signed off in one day.
I was paying for Fireflies Pro but only using it to dictate follow-up emails. Mumbl does that better for less, and no bot awkwardly joining every meeting.
The workflow difference is night and day. Fireflies: record, wait, open transcript, copy, paste. Mumbl: talk and it's there. Completely different experience.

Fireflies is a cloud meeting recorder that uploads your audio to their servers. Mumbl is a local voice-to-text tool. You speak and get formatted text on your device. Different approach, same goal: capture what matters without typing.
Mumbl is voice-to-text, not a meeting recorder. It doesn't auto-join or record meetings. You hit a hotkey, speak your notes, and get formatted text. No bots joining your calls, no awkward consent conversations.
Free tier with 10 transcriptions per day. Paid plans: $9/month, $49/year, or $149 lifetime. No credits, no usage limits on paid plans, no surprise tier changes. What you see is what you pay.
