✓ What carries over
- Meeting platforms supported overlap heavily (Zoom/Meet/Teams)
- Transcript search habits carry over
- Highlight/comment workflows are similar
Migration guide · Updated 2026-09-11
Switching from Fireflies.ai to Otter.ai.
Otter undercuts Fireflies on entry pricing and is strong for individual note-takers; Fireflies stays ahead for sales teams needing CRM sync and conversation intelligence. Switch only if your usage profile matches Otter's strengths.
✗ What doesn't transfer
- Historical transcripts do not export wholesale between platforms
- Fireflies' CRM integrations (HubSpot/Salesforce) have no Otter equivalent
- Soundbites/clips metadata stays behind
Do the math before cancelling anything
Otter Pro runs well below Fireflies' business tiers for individuals. Teams relying on revenue-intelligence features should price the cost of losing them, not just the subscription delta.
Migrate one task, not your whole workflow
- Run Otter alongside Fireflies on one week of real meetings — never switch blind.
- Grade transcript accuracy on your industry vocabulary and accents specifically.
- Export anything you must keep from Fireflies before cancelling.
