Granola is one of the few note assistants that does not put a bot in the call: it captures audio from your device and combines it with your own notes. VideoSuite also avoids the bot, but another way: the room does the recording. The difference is whose place the meeting happens in.
What Granola does well
- No bot: nobody sees an assistant in the call.
- Notes written on top of your own jottings, which is comfortable for personal use.
- API (from Business), MCP, Zapier and SOC 2 Type II, according to its page.
- You can turn off training per user, and for the whole workspace on Enterprise.
What to know about Granola
- Oriented to one person: it is not a company room with its own brand.
- It captures from the device of whoever uses it: the other participants have nothing to do with the tool.
Published prices
- Basic: 0 (30 days of history). Business: 14 USD per user a month. Enterprise: 35 USD per user a month. Prices published by Granola and read on 19 October 2026.
What changes with VideoSuite
- The room belongs to the company: a recording notice for every guest before entering, and a real pause.
- Every participant has their own audio track, not only the person using the tool.
- Summary, tasks, commitments and infographic, and a personal link for each guest.
- Own brand and domain, and delivery of reports to your company's memory.
What VideoSuite does not do or is not
- It is a new product: a few weeks of real use, not years like most of the rivals.
- To get the benefit you meet in its room, or import the recording afterwards; it does not sit on top of Zoom, Meet or Teams.
- Each room admits at most 16 people: it is not a webinar product.
- The connected calendar is Google Calendar only, and charging for sessions through Stripe Connect works today in test mode only: it does not move real money yet.
- Your own brand and domain are set up with our help: today there is no self-service panel.

Choose VideoSuite if the goal is for the meeting, with its consent, brand and report, to belong to your company and not to one person.
