Granola pricing for teams: Per-user costs and enterprise options
February 16
TL;DR: Granola scales from individual productivity to team intelligence with transparent per-seat pricing. Basic is free with unlimited meetings and limited history retention, Business runs $14 per month per user with centralized billing and team collaboration, and Enterprise costs $35+ per month per seat with SSO, organization-wide AI training opt-out, and priority support. No hidden fees, no per-meeting charges, no pay-per-minute transcription. For a Series A team running 40 meetings monthly per person, Business plan costs hit $0.35 per meeting compared to hours your team spends reconstructing decisions from memory.
Half your team probably already uses Granola on personal credit cards or free accounts. Centralizing those scattered accounts under one Business plan secures sensitive data, provides centralized billing, and preserves institutional memory when people leave. For founders managing runway and compliance in equal measure, the shift from individual accounts to a company plan solves three problems at once: predictable billing, data governance that satisfies your board, and searchable context that survives employee turnover.
How Granola pricing scales with your team
We charge per seat, not per meeting or storage gigabyte. You pay a flat monthly fee for each active user in your workspace, and your bill adjusts automatically when team members join or leave. This structure removes the anxiety of overage fees common in tools that meter by minutes or transcripts.
| Feature | Basic (Free) | Business | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price per user | $0 | $14/month | $35+/month |
| Meeting limit | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| History retention | Limited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Advanced models | No | Yes | Yes |
| Team folders | Limited | Yes | Yes |
| Centralized billing | No | Yes | Yes |
| SSO (Okta, Google) | No | No | Yes |
| AI training opt-out | Manual | Manual | Org-wide default |
| Priority support | No | No | Yes |
| API access | No | No | Yes |
Granola's per-seat pricing model keeps costs predictable. You never face overage charges for heavy meeting weeks, storage caps that force you to delete history, or per-minute transcription fees that complicate budgeting.
Basic plan: Testing before committing
The Basic plan gives you unlimited meetings to test bot-free capture, AI-enhanced notes, and shared folders without entering payment information. You keep limited meeting history, which works for evaluating transcription accuracy and note quality.
The limited history retention encourages you to upgrade once you've validated the workflow, before you lose access to older meetings you want to reference. Many users convert after experiencing bot-free capture firsthand. One described the moment:
"It's literally the best. It doesn't join your calls like other AI note takers (that was big for me) and the AI is ACCURATE. I don't usually fall for "Freemium" models... I HAD to purchase it." - Verified user on G2
If Granola saves time in your workflow, you upgrade. If it adds friction, you abandon it before paying.
Business plan: Centralized team management
At $14 per user per month, the Business plan unlocks unlimited history, advanced AI models, integrations with Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Affinity, and Zapier, plus MCP (Model Context Protocol) for connecting AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to your meeting context.
The business-specific features include centralized billing through Stripe, shared folders for cross-functional access, and admin controls for managing who sees which meetings. Your subscription scales automatically as team members join or leave, with prorated adjustments so you never pay for inactive seats.
Three signals indicate it's time to consolidate scattered accounts: your team hits five users making centralized billing cheaper than processing individual expense reports, board members start asking data governance questions that individual settings can't answer, or a key employee gives notice and you panic about losing their meeting history. Business plans preserve institutional memory in shared folders that survive departures.
The collaboration advantage becomes clear in customer research and recruiting workflows. Product managers create shared folders of customer interviews, sales leaders query across all discovery calls to surface objection patterns, and recruiting teams compare candidate responses using exact quotes.
Business plan users control AI training opt-out individually in their settings. Enterprise enforces this org-wide by default.
Enterprise plan: Security and governance
At $35+ per user per month, Enterprise adds features required for compliance and confidential use cases: Single Sign-On through Okta or Google Workspace, organization-wide AI training opt-out enforced by default, usage analytics for tracking adoption, priority support, and API access for custom integrations.
The critical differentiator for board meetings and M&A discussions: Enterprise admins can enforce link-sharing permissions across the entire organization. You can disable external sharing completely or require work email authentication to view notes, preventing sensitive meeting context from leaking through forwarded links.
Granola achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification in July 2025, demonstrating that independent auditors verified the company maintains strict data controls over time. The Enterprise plan opts out your entire organization from model training by default, contractually preventing third-party AI providers like OpenAI and Anthropic from using your meeting transcripts to improve their models.
Smaller teams can still access Enterprise features by contacting sales, especially if compliance needs (SOC 2, AI opt-out) outweigh seat count.

Calculating cost per meeting for your team
For a Series A company with 10 employees averaging 40 meetings monthly, the Business plan costs $140 per month total. Divide by 400 team meetings and you pay $0.35 per meeting captured.
The ROI compounds through cross-meeting queries. Sales leaders ask "why are enterprise customers hesitating about pricing?" and get citations from 15 discovery calls. Product managers search "onboarding flow feedback" across 30 customer interviews. Recruiting teams compare candidate answers using exact quotes instead of reconstructed memory.
"Granola nails exactly what I need: clean, reliable meeting transcripts and smart follow-up summaries without any fluff. I use it for nearly every call to stay focused on the conversation instead of scribbling notes." - Verified user on G2
