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
Salesforce Agentforce
Pros
- Native access to Salesforce data with no integration layer
- Transparent per-action pricing after the Flex Credits change
- Free 200,000-credit allocation to pilot on Enterprise Edition and above
- Two pricing models so you can pick the cheaper one for your usage shape
- Inherits existing Salesforce permissions and audit trail
Cons
- The 10,000-token-per-action ceiling silently doubles costs on long actions
- Only makes sense if Salesforce is genuinely your system of record
- Costs scale with usage in a way seat-based buyers find hard to forecast
- Capability trails specialist CX vendors like Sierra and Decagon
Which should you choose?
Granola is the lighter-weight option (Freemium), while Salesforce Agentforce sits higher on the pricing ladder (Enterprise). Granola is built around founders and executives in back-to-back meetings; Salesforce Agentforce leans more toward enterprises already standardized on salesforce. Shortlist the one whose strengths line up with your biggest constraint.
