Granola vs Superpowered

Granola's only published seat rate is $14/seat/mo, while Superpowered's annual rate comes to $54/seat/mo, a wide gap for a consulting practice billing seats across many client accounts. Both tools support bot-free capture, so client meetings can be recorded without a bot joining, and both keep unlimited notes history. Granola confirms in-person and mobile capture directly; Superpowered does not publish this capability, so consultants who move between video calls and in-person client sites cannot count on it there. Granola also documents its transcript export options, markdown only, while Superpowered does not publish an export format at all.

Granola connects to Slack, Notion, Zapier, and MCP, the protocol that lets AI agents and coding tools pull meeting context directly, useful for engineering teams wiring standups into existing tools. Superpowered lists Slack, Notion, Google Drive, Zapier, and Email, a solid list but without MCP. Granola also confirms automatic action items and a public API; Superpowered does not publish either capability, a real gap for a team that wants standups landing hands off. Both tools generate an AI summary. On price, Granola's $14/seat/mo also undercuts Superpowered's annual rate of $54/seat/mo by a wide margin.

Granola confirms that customer data is excluded from AI training, a baseline requirement for legal and healthcare teams; Superpowered does not publish a no-training guarantee, so a security conscious buyer cannot confirm it either way. Neither tool offers a HIPAA BAAHIPAA BAA - A signed Business Associate Agreement that lets you handle protected health information under US healthcare privacy law.: Granola says no outright, and Superpowered does not publish one, so that stays even. Both support bot-free capture, and both claim GDPR EU data residency. On retention, Granola offers org-wide auto-deletion controls on its Enterprise plan, while Superpowered is fixed at 7 day transcript retention with no admin control over it, a meaningful gap for teams that need to set their own retention policy.

Neither tool publishes clips or highlight reels: Granola says no outright, and Superpowered does not document the feature, so that stays even, and both report no video recording. Granola does confirm an ask-your-meeting AI chat for querying across sessions; Superpowered does not publish that capability. Granola also documents a transcript export path, markdown only, while Superpowered does not publish its export formats at all. Superpowered claims 54 supported languages against Granola's 17, a real advantage for multilingual research, but it is a smaller factor next to a confirmed AI chat and export path.

Both tools generate an AI meeting summary, so interview notes come out summarized either way. Granola confirms speaker identification, labelling who said what in a candidate interview; Superpowered does not publish this capability. Granola also documents a transcript export path, markdown only, while Superpowered does not publish its export formats at all, a gap when notes need to move into an ATS. On price, Granola's $14/seat/mo runs well below Superpowered's annual rate of $54/seat/mo, a meaningful gap for a talent team paying per recruiter.

Superpowered integrates with Salesforce and HubSpot, the CRM most sales organizations run on, while Granola connects to HubSpot, Attio, and Affinity, tools more common outside a typical sales org, so Superpowered has the edge there. Granola pulls ahead elsewhere: it confirms automatic action items, a capability Superpowered does not publish, and neither tool documents clips or highlight reels for coaching. On price, Granola's $14/seat/mo is well under Superpowered's annual rate of $54/seat/mo, a large gap for a sales team paying per rep. Both claim live real-time transcription.

Granola's included tier is capped by a 30 day notes history rather than a monthly count, so a solo user can keep taking notes without running into a hard ceiling. Superpowered's included tier caps out at 10 AI notes a month, a hard limit that a regular user will hit quickly. Once someone needs a paid seat, Granola's rate is $14/seat/mo against Superpowered's $25/seat/mo. Both tools generate an AI summary, and both join meetings without a bot.
