Meetings, head to head

Briefi vs Fireflies

Both record meetings and turn them into notes and action items. Fireflies is the wider tool, with a free plan, a low price per seat, more places to capture and sync to Salesforce. Briefi is built around the client: a brief before you meet, a follow-up drafted and sent from your own mailbox, and the meeting filed to the client’s record. If you want notes for a whole team, Fireflies is a strong choice. If you meet clients and owe them something afterwards, Briefi keeps that in one place.

Where Briefi is different

The meeting is one step in the client’s story.

Briefi was built for people who meet the same clients for years. The notes are where a meeting ends, and what you owe the client is what comes next.

  • A brief before you meetMeetings

    Briefi writes a brief ahead of the meeting, so you walk in knowing the history, the open actions and what was promised last time.

  • The follow-up, from your own mailboxMeetings

    The recap becomes a follow-up draft you can edit and send from your Gmail, Microsoft 365 or SMTP mailbox, so it arrives from you.

  • An action register, not a list in a noteMeetings

    Actions from every meeting land in one register, with reminders on Pro and up, so nothing lives only in last month’s notes.

  • The meeting on the client’s recordAdvisor

    Advisor puts meetings, forms, signed copies and registers for a client on one record, with an optional client portal.

Meetings on its own has no client record, signing or portal. Advisor adds them on the same workspace.

Questions

Briefi and Fireflies, asked often

Is Briefi a straight Fireflies replacement?

For client meetings, often yes, and it does more around them: the brief before, the follow-up from your mailbox and the action register. If you rely on Salesforce sync, dialers or a free plan, not yet.

Does Briefi join meetings with a bot?

Yes, on Pro and up, for Zoom, Teams and Google Meet, when the calendar event has a join link. You can also record without a bot in the browser, or face to face with the standalone recorder.

Does Briefi connect to Salesforce?

No. Briefi connects to GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Monday, Pipedrive, Close, Copper and ActiveCampaign. If Salesforce is where your team works, Fireflies lists it.

Does Briefi write in languages other than English?

Transcription detects the language spoken. The recaps, forms and PDFs Briefi writes are in English only.

Where is my clients’ data stored?

Stored in Sydney. Some processing uses providers overseas. Sensitive content is encrypted with a key held for your workspace. The Security page lists the providers and where they are.

How does Briefi protect client data?

The Security page sets out how data is stored, encrypted and accessed, so your own review can proceed on the facts.
