AI / LLM comparison

At a glance
| Granola | Palantir AIP | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | FreemiumFree tier includes unlimited meeting notes but retains them for only 30 days. Paid plans unlock full history and team features; specific tier prices are on the pricing page rather than the homepage. | EnterpriseNot published — enterprise contracts negotiated directly, typically as a platform agreement rather than seats. The AIP Bootcamp is the standard entry point: bring your own data and build working use cases in days before committing. Budget for the data integration work, which is usually the larger number. |

Pros & cons
Granola
Pros
- No bot joins the call — works in-person and on phone calls too
- Merges your typed notes with the transcript for better summaries
- Works across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and anything else playing audio
- MCP connections to Claude, Cursor, and Figma
- Privacy-first: notes are private by default
Cons
- 30-day retention on the free tier is a hard limit, not a soft nudge
- Capturing system audio without announcing a bot has consent implications — disclose it
- Desktop-first; the workflow assumes you have the app running
- Fewer CRM-sync integrations than bot-based incumbents
Palantir AIP
Pros
- The Ontology gives agents a governed model of the actual business
- Built for operational decisions, not document chat
- Governance, audit, and access control are native, not add-ons
- Model-agnostic — you are not locked to one LLM vendor
- Bootcamp model produces working results in days rather than a long pilot
Cons
- The deepest platform commitment on this list — switching cost is near total
- No published pricing and a heavyweight commercial relationship
- Value depends on data integration work you have to do regardless
- Far too much platform for anything below large-enterprise scale
- Requires internal capability to build and maintain ontology and workflows
