# Open-source alternatives to Granola

> We track one open-source alternative to Granola, but it doesn't have confirmed commercial use, local running and no paid services together. The one project we track doesn't cover all 3 Granola jobs, so you may need another tool alongside it.

Granola: Paid AI notepad that transcribes your meetings without a bot joining and turns your notes into AI meeting notes. Pricing: Basic free (30 days of meeting history); Business $14 per user/month; Enterprise $35 per user/month (checked 2026-10-15). Facts checked 2026-10-15.
