Granola AI Pricing Explained

Granola sells three plans: a free Basic tier, Business at $14 per user per month, and Enterprise at $35 per user per month. Business unlocks unlimited notes and integrations, and Enterprise adds security, admin controls, and org-wide training opt-out.

Prices come straight from granola.ai at the time of writing. Note-taker vendors change pricing often, so confirm the current numbers on the Granola pricing page before you buy.

This page breaks down each tier, the free-plan limits, what drives the jump between plans, and a worked cost example for a real team.

Granola's Three Plans at a Glance

Granola offers Basic for free, Business at $14 per user per month, and Enterprise at $35 per user per month. The free plan is enough to test the product, while Business is the everyday paid tier and Enterprise targets larger, compliance-minded organizations.

The pricing page lists monthly per-seat rates. It does not publish annual pricing, so if you want a yearly commitment, ask Granola directly. Always verify current pricing on the vendor's site, because these figures move.

The gaps between tiers are about scale and control, not core note-taking. Every plan can produce AI notes. What you pay more for is unlimited history, deeper integrations, and the admin tools that keep a whole team consistent and compliant.

• Basic: $0 per user per month
• Business: $14 per user per month
• Enterprise: $35 per user per month

What the Free Basic Plan Includes

The free Basic plan gives you AI meeting notes, AI chat, shared folders, custom templates, multi-language support, and the ability to opt out of model training. Its main constraint is limited meeting history.

Granola does not publish a specific free-meeting cap on its pricing page, and the history limit has changed over time. If the exact free-plan limit matters to your decision, confirm it on granola.ai rather than relying on a number from a third party.

For a single user testing the workflow, the free plan is a fair trial. For steady daily use across many calls, the history limit is the reason most people move to Business.

The Business Plan: $14 per User per Month

Business costs $14 per user per month and adds unlimited meeting notes and history, advanced AI thinking models, and integrations. Those integrations include Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Zapier, and CRM-style tools such as Attio and Affinity.

It also adds centralized billing, an MCP integration, and API access. This is the tier most active teams land on, because the unlimited history removes the main free-plan ceiling.

One important detail carries over from the free plan. On Business, using your data to improve Granola's own models is still on by default, and an admin or user has to turn it off.

For most teams, Business is the sweet spot on features but the weak spot on defaults. You get the full toolset at a fair per-seat price, yet the safer training setting is not automatic. Budget a few minutes per seat to fix that after purchase.

• Unlimited meeting notes and history
• Advanced AI models and integrations (Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Zapier, Attio, Affinity)
• Centralized billing, MCP integration, and API access

The Enterprise Plan: $35 per User per Month

Enterprise costs $35 per user per month and adds enterprise-grade security, single sign-on, priority support, and usage analytics. It also brings org-wide auto-deletion and admin controls over sharing and API access.

The privacy default flips here. On Enterprise, model-training opt-out is on by default for the whole organization, so no individual has to remember to disable it. That alone is a strong reason for regulated teams to choose this tier.

Enterprise buyers should ask Granola about contract terms, security documentation, and whether volume affects the per-seat rate. Larger deals are usually negotiated.

• SSO, priority support, and usage analytics
• Org-wide auto-deletion and admin controls for sharing and API
• Team-wide model-training opt-out on by default

A Worked Cost Example for a Real Team

Take a 10-person sales team on the Business plan at $14 per user per month. That is $140 per month, or $1,680 per year, assuming the monthly rate holds for twelve months.

If the same 10 people need SSO, org-wide training opt-out, and auto-deletion, Enterprise at $35 per user per month costs $350 per month, or $4,200 per year. The gap is the price of centralized control and the safer training default.

A single power user who lives in meetings often does fine on Business at $14 per month. The decision usually comes down to whether you need admin governance, not whether one person needs more features.

• 10 seats on Business: about $140/month or $1,680/year
• 10 seats on Enterprise: about $350/month or $4,200/year
• Solo heavy user: Business at $14/month is usually enough

How to Choose the Right Tier

Choose Basic to test, Business for everyday team use, and Enterprise when consent, retention, and admin control are non-negotiable. The feature jumps are clear, so match them to how strict your data rules are.

If your meetings touch client data or regulated information, the Enterprise default of org-wide training opt-out is worth the higher seat price. On Business, that safety depends on each person remembering to change a setting.

Whatever you pick, budget from the live prices on granola.ai. Vendor pricing shifts, and the numbers here reflect the tiers published at the time of writing.

One more cost angle: the price of getting consent wrong. A cheap plan with the wrong defaults can create legal exposure that dwarfs the seat cost. When you compare tiers, weigh the admin controls on Enterprise as risk reduction, not just convenience.

In our AI workflow audits for teams adopting meeting-capture tools, the pattern we see is buyers picking a tier on features alone, then paying more later to retrofit consent and retention controls. Deciding those requirements first usually points to the right tier on day one.

The Costs That Are Not on the Pricing Page

The per-seat rate is not the whole cost of adopting Granola. Plan for setup time, policy work, and the effort of standardizing settings across a team.

Someone has to decide your consent process, write a disclosure line, and confirm the training setting on every seat. On larger teams, that is real work, and skipping it is how organizations end up with an untracked recording tool.

There is also the switching cost if you later change tools. Notes and transcripts live in Granola, so factor in how you would export or migrate them before you commit a whole team.

• Setup and policy time, not just the seat price
• Standardizing training and sharing settings across seats
• Export and migration planning if you switch later
