Is Brifo better than Fireflies for sales teams?

If your sales workflow lives in Salesforce or HubSpot, Fireflies' CRM integrations are deeper and probably still win. Brifo is better positioned for engineering and PM workflows with Jira-first action items.

Will participants see a bot if I use Brifo instead of Fireflies?

No. Brifo captures macOS system audio locally. There's no bot, no extension, no visible attendee. Fireflies sends a bot named 'Fred' to join your meetings.

Does Brifo have AskFred-style Q&A?

Yes. Brifo's Meeting Q&A chat works similarly. You can ask questions across every past meeting ('what did we decide about the API redesign?').

Is Brifo SOC 2 compliant like Fireflies?

Not yet. Formal SOC 2 certification is in progress. Our architectural privacy (no cloud audio) is stronger than a cloud-audio tool with SOC 2 in many ways, but if you need the formal certification today, Fireflies has it.

Is Brifo cheaper than Fireflies?

Yes. Brifo is free during beta. Fireflies Pro is $18/seat/mo.
