trepil vs Granola
Granola and trepil made the same call about bots and audio: record what the computer hears instead of sending a participant into the room, and delete the recording once it is transcribed. Granola is further along on devices and integrations, with a free plan to start. trepil is built around the end of the meeting, a list of who does what with the line it came from, never trains AI on your notes, and costs $10 a month on the yearly plan.

Where Granola is ahead
- A free plan. trepil has a trial and then one paid plan.
- Windows, iPhone and Android today. trepil is on the Mac and the web, with Windows and iPhone on the way.
- SSO on Enterprise. trepil's team workspaces don't have SSO.
- More integrations, including Zapier, an API and MCP, with MCP on the free plan too.
Where trepil is ahead
- Every note ends with a checklist: each to-do with an owner, and a date when someone said one, ready to tick off.
- Speaker names come from the calendar invite, and a name you correct once is remembered for that voice.
- Apple Calendar, as well as the calendars most tools support.
- Your notes are never used to train AI, with nothing to opt out of.
- $10 a month on the yearly plan.
