Grain is strongest when meeting moments need to travel. It records through a bot or a bot-free desktop app on Zoom, Meet, Teams and Webex, writes AI notes with next steps on every plan, and lets anyone cut shareable clips, playlists and highlight reels. The Free plan covers unlimited meetings up to 45 minutes with 30 days of history. Pro at $15 per month billed annually extends meetings to 4 hours, keeps unlimited history and adds custom AI notes and unlimited uploads. Business at $29 per seat billed annually, with a 2 seat minimum, is the team plan: a shared company workspace, 8 hour meetings, HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, Slack, conversation intelligence and free viewer seats. Grain states it never trains AI on meeting data. The drawback for teams is that most collaboration features sit on Business, so the effective team price is higher than the Pro headline.
