Fair is fair

Where Fireflies.ai is the better pick

If one of these matters most to you, Fireflies.ai is likely the better tool, and it is better to know that now.

  • You need more languages

    Fireflies lists over 100 transcription languages. Lynkk lists 17 plus Hinglish. If your calls run in a language Lynkk does not list, Fireflies is the safer pick.

  • Your work runs through a CRM

    Fireflies connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and many other CRMs, dialers and hiring tools, and its paid plans add talk-time, sentiment and topic tracking. Lynkk has no CRM integration and no call analytics.

  • You record on your phone, on Windows or on Webex

    Fireflies has phone apps and a Windows app, and its bot joins Webex and other platforms beyond the big three. Lynkk has no phone app, its app is Mac only, and its bot covers Zoom, Meet and Teams.

  • You want to download everything

    On its paid plans Fireflies exports transcripts as PDF, DOCX, SRT, CSV, JSON or Markdown, plus MP3 and MP4, and it has an API. Lynkk exports a note as Markdown, shares it by link, and exports your whole account (every note, transcript and recording) as one zip from Settings.

Where Lynkk fits

No bot, and the recording is still there

Lynkk's Mac app records calls in Zoom, Teams, Slack huddles, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Webex and browser calls with no bot, and keeps the audio with the note. Your mic and the call are on two channels, so your lines say You. Fireflies' help center says its no-bot desktop recordings save no audio and show Speaker 1 and Speaker 2.

Switching

Switching from Fireflies.ai

Lynkk cannot import your Fireflies meetings, and you cannot upload old recordings to it, so your history stays in Fireflies. Download what you want to keep before you cancel.

Comes with you

  • Your calls. Lynkk's bot joins the same Zoom, Meet and Teams links, or the Mac app records them with no bot.
  • Your calendar. Connect Google Calendar and the bot joins your scheduled meetings. Auto-join is on from the start, with a switch on each meeting.
  • Your Slack workspace. Install Lynkk for Slack and ask @Lynkk about your meetings in a thread.
  • Your Jira projects. Connect Jira once, then send action items from any note.

Stays behind in Fireflies.ai

  • Past meetings. Fireflies downloads need a paid plan, so export before you drop to Free.
  • CRM sync and call analytics, which Lynkk does not have.
  • Webex and other platforms beyond Zoom, Meet and Teams for the bot. The Mac app still records Webex with no bot.
  • Recording from your phone, until Lynkk has a phone app.

Your first day on Lynkk

  1. Sign up free. There is no trial to run out: the free plan has no end date.

Questions

Questions about Lynkk and Fireflies.ai

Is Lynkk a good Fireflies.ai alternative?

It is if you want no-bot recordings that keep the audio, calls that mix Hindi and English, or Ask included in one flat price. If you need over 100 languages, CRM sync or phone apps, Fireflies is likely the better fit.

Do both have a meeting bot?

Yes. Fireflies' bot joins Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex and others. Lynkk's bot joins Zoom, Meet and Teams, from a pasted link or from your Google Calendar with auto-join. Lynkk's bot is on the free plan and records audio; video is Pro.

Which one records without a bot?

Both. Fireflies' desktop app and Meet extension record without a bot. Lynkk's Mac app records any call app with no bot, and its Chrome extension covers Meet, Zoom in the browser and Teams. Lynkk keeps the audio from those recordings.

How does asking across meetings compare?

AskFred answers from your meetings and connected apps and spends AI credits per answer. Ask Lynkk, on Pro, answers only from your own notes and cites the note and the minute. It can also create a Jira issue or book a calendar event after you confirm.

Does Lynkk work with Salesforce or HubSpot?

No. Lynkk sends action items to Jira and answers questions in Slack, and it connects to Google Calendar. It has no CRM integration.

Can I move my Fireflies meetings into Lynkk?

No. Lynkk has no import and does not take uploads of old recordings. Download your Fireflies transcripts while you are on a paid plan, and record new calls in Lynkk.

Is there a Fireflies alternative that works without a bot?

Yes. Lynkk's Chrome extension records Google Meet, Zoom in the browser and Teams from your own tab, so nothing joins the call. When a bot is welcome, Lynkk has one too.
