A Fireflies Alternative for Mac
Sleekit records and transcribes your meetings with one click, and no bot joins the call. It also does dictation, so you get meeting notes and dictation in one app. Everything runs on your Mac, so it works offline and your recordings and transcripts never leave it. You pay £39 once, and every future update is included. Fireflies processes your speech in the cloud, needs the internet to transcribe, and Pro costs $10 a month per seat, billed yearly.
