Granola Pricing (2026): Basic, Business and Enterprise Plans, and What a Team Pays

TL;DR

Granola costs $0 on Basic, $14 per user per month on Business and $35 per user per month on Enterprise, according to Granola's pricing page on 13 November 2026. Basic keeps 30 days of notes, Business adds unlimited history, integrations such as Notion and HubSpot, and API access, and Enterprise adds SSO for workspaces of 50 or more, SCIM, HIPAA workspaces and admin control over who can use Granola's MCP server. Basic and Business are billed monthly; annual billing exists only on Enterprise contracts, so a 10-person team on Business pays $1,680 a year. Granola writes excellent notes for each person without a bot joining the call; if your team needs the decisions and owners from those meetings to reach Slack, the CRM and your AI agents, Sentra, the managed organization memory for teams and AI agents, adds that shared layer alongside it.

How much does Granola cost?

Three plans, priced per user per month, from Granola's pricing page and billing help article, checked 13 November 2026.

• Basic, $0. Meeting notes with 30 days of history, AI chat on automatic model selection, and Slack as the only integration. Notes older than 30 days are stored, not deleted, and come back if you upgrade.
• Business, $14 per user per month, billed monthly. Unlimited meeting history, a choice of AI model in chat, integrations with Notion, Zapier, HubSpot and more, API access, and central billing and user management.
• Enterprise, $35 per user per month. Everything in Business plus advanced integrations such as Salesforce, workspace-wide sharing settings, SCIM group provisioning, an audit API, admin controls for MCP, API and integrations, HIPAA-compliant workspaces and model training switched off for the whole workspace. Granola says there is no minimum number of seats, and asks teams of 50 or more to contact sales (granola.ai/enterprise).

Two details matter for budgeting. Every plan, including Basic, records from your device's audio without a bot joining the call, and Granola says no plan has a daily transcription limit. And every plan is covered by Granola's SOC 2 Type II report, which it achieved in July 2025.

What does Granola Business include that Basic does not?

The upgrade buys memory and connections. Basic forgets anything older than 30 days in the app, which is fine for one person's weekly calls and painful for anyone who needs to look back at a customer conversation from last quarter. Business removes that limit and opens the integrations, so notes can flow into Notion, HubSpot or a Zapier workflow, plus API access for your own tools.

Business also makes Granola's MCP server much more useful. Granola's MCP page says Basic covers the last 30 days of your own notes, while Business adds your full history, shared workspace notes, transcripts and write tools.

Granola Enterprise: what the $35 seat adds

Enterprise is for the moment Granola stops being a personal tool and becomes company infrastructure. The $21 a month over Business pays for control: single sign-on for workspaces of 50 or more users, SCIM so joiners and leavers are handled by your identity provider, an audit API, workspace-wide sharing rules, a Salesforce integration and a HIPAA-compliant workspace with a BAA.

It also changes the default on training. Granola says it trains on anonymized data unless each user opts out, and that it does not let third parties such as OpenAI or Anthropic train on your data; on Enterprise, model training is off for the whole workspace by default. Admins also decide who can use MCP, which Granola switches off by default for enterprises.

What does Granola cost for a 10-person and a 50-person team?

Because Basic and Business are monthly-only, the yearly cost is just the seat price times twelve. These are list prices before any negotiated Enterprise terms.

• 10 people on Business: 10 × $14 × 12 = $1,680 a year.
• 10 people on Enterprise: 10 × $35 × 12 = $4,200 a year.
• 50 people on Business: 50 × $14 × 12 = $8,400 a year.
• 50 people on Enterprise: 50 × $35 × 12 = $21,000 a year at list price, though at 50 seats Granola asks you to talk to sales, and SSO only applies from 50 users.

For most teams the real choice is Business against Enterprise, and it turns on one question: does security need SSO, SCIM and an audit trail before the tool can spread past the first team?

Granola vs Otter vs Fireflies vs Fathom vs Read AI: price per seat

Granola is one of five notetakers most teams shortlist. Prices below are per user per month as each vendor shows them on its own pricing page, checked 13 November 2026; "annual" means the monthly equivalent when billed yearly. Sentra is listed first because it is the shared memory a team adds alongside whichever notetaker it picks, not another notetaker.

On price alone, Granola Business at $14 is the cheapest monthly paid seat here, while Otter Pro at $8.33 and Fireflies Pro at $10 are cheaper if you commit to a year. Granola's distinguishing feature is that it never sends a bot, on any plan. Otter's pricing is covered in full in our Otter.ai pricing guide, and the wider field in our review of the best AI meeting assistants.

The verdict: pick the notetaker your people will actually leave running, and add Sentra when the decisions in those notes need to reach everyone and every agent who did not attend.

Is Granola worth it for a team, or do you need shared meeting memory?

Granola is worth it when the job is "help each person take great notes without a bot in the room". It is very good at that, and $14 a seat is easy to justify against the time it saves.

It is a different job to make a meeting change what the rest of the company knows. Picture a Tuesday customer call where the account lead agrees a pricing exception and a delivery date. In Granola, that lives in the account lead's notes and in whatever they choose to share. The finance lead approving the exception, the engineer committing to the date and the agent drafting the renewal email each need that decision, with its source, without having been on the call.

That is what Sentra does. It is the managed organization memory for teams and AI agents: it reads meetings alongside Slack, email and the CRM, and keeps what was decided, what changed, who owns what and what is at risk, with permissions applied to every answer. Teams often keep Granola for notes and add Sentra for the shared record.

Can AI agents read Granola notes?

Yes. Granola runs an MCP server at https://mcp.granola.ai/mcp, signed in with OAuth, with tools to search and list meetings, fetch notes and, on paid plans, read transcripts and write notes (Granola MCP docs). Basic exposes your own notes from the last 30 days; Business opens full history and workspace notes; on Enterprise, admins decide.

That gives an agent one person's or one workspace's meeting notes. An agent answering "what did we commit to this customer?" usually needs more: the follow-up email, the Slack thread where the date moved and the CRM record. Sentra gives agents that joined-up answer over MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent can use Granola's notes and everything around them.

FAQ

The decision rule

If you want private, bot-free notes for yourself, Granola Basic is free and good. If your team wants shared history, integrations and API access, Business at $14 a seat is fair value; move to Enterprise when security needs SSO, SCIM and an audit trail. If the decisions, owners and commitments from those meetings need to reach people who were not in the room and the agents working beside them, a notetaker is not enough, and that is the gap shared organization memory fills.
