How the test works MeetNotes vs Fireflies, feature by feature
MeetNotes vs Fireflies
Winner: MeetNotes
An 89-minute call in English with Hinglish stretches running through it, several speakers (MeetNotes separated six voices, Fireflies four), and heavy technical vocabulary. Published anonymously: no participant, company or content is identified, and none was needed to score it.
Judged by: ChatGPT (OpenAI) — Fireflies 4.7–5.2, MeetNotes 8.7–9.2
Run blind — the product names were stripped before scoring, so neither output could be traced to a brand. The overall is given as the range the judge's report gave, not a margin of error we calculated.
Rubric: This run predates the seven-criterion scorecard published above and used its own ten criteria, listed as scored. Where a run uses a scorecard other than the published seven, it says so here rather than quietly re-labelling the rows to match.

Nowhere on this scorecard: MeetNotes scored higher on every criterion the judge rated. That is this meeting, not a rule.
This result on its own page The full write-up of this result
One meeting is one meeting. A result here shows what happened to this recording, on this day, with these judges — not a general ranking, not an average, and not a claim about how either tool performs on your audio. That is the entire reason the protocol is published: the only comparison that decides anything for you is the one you run yourself.
Disclosure: MeetNotes itself uses AI models from more than one large AI company, including at least one whose assistant is on this panel.
