SpiikWhy Spiik comes out ahead
Made for the person recording
Fireflies sells per seat, around team workflows such as speaker talk-time analytics. If you're a student, journalist, founder or consultant, you pay less with Spiik and get a simple record button.
Conversations don't have to happen on a call
Press record in a lecture hall, at a client's office or on a walk. Spiik keeps recording with your phone locked, and the Dynamic Island shows the timer.
I use it to transcribe Zoom interviews. It's accurate and saves a mountain of time.Jenny Mackenzie, journalist, App Store review
No extra participant
Some clients and interviewees don't like seeing a note-taking bot in the participant list. On a Mac, Spiik captures your microphone and system audio from your own machine. You should still tell people when you are recording.
When Fireflies could make sense
Fireflies can make sense if your team wants automatic capture of every meeting, shared knowledge, analytics and CRM connections. Spiik doesn't try to do that job.
