How our guides are researched . November 10, 2026 · Updated November 2026 7 min read Short answer: Read AI is free for 5 meeting transcripts a month. **Pro costs $15 per user a month billed annually** ($19.75 billed monthly), Enterprise costs $22.50 annually ($29.75 monthly), and Enterprise+ costs $29.75 annually ($39.75 monthly) with a 5-license minimum. Annual billing takes 25% off. Verified on [read.ai/pricing](https://www.read.ai/pricing) on October 28, 2026. For a 10-person team, that spread is the difference between $1,800 and $4,770 a year, so the plan you pick matters more than the sticker suggests. The sections below show what each tier adds, what a team really pays, and where Read AI lands next to Fireflies and Otter. ## Read AI plans at a glance *Read AI plans at a glance: Read AI Pricing 2026: Free, Pro, Enterprise and What a Team Really Pays. Last updated November 2026.* | Plan | Annual billing (per user a month) | Monthly billing (per user a month) | Meeting transcripts | File uploads a month | Max meeting length | Key extras | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | $0 | 5 a month | Not included | 1 hour | Summaries, search, meeting coach, basic integrations | | Pro | $15 | $19.75 | Unlimited | 100 minutes | 4 hours | Premium integrations (Notion, Salesforce, [HubSpot](https://dupple.com/reviews/hubspot), Jira, Zapier) | | Enterprise | $22.50 | $29.75 | Unlimited | 200 minutes | 4 hours | Audio and video playback, video highlights, premium support | | Enterprise+ | $29.75 | $39.75 | Unlimited | 300 minutes | 8 hours | HIPAA, SAML and SCIM, domain capture, data retention; 5+ licenses | Read on [Read AI's pricing page](https://www.read.ai/pricing) on October 28, 2026. Prices are in US dollars. One figure appears twice in the table: Enterprise on monthly billing and Enterprise+ on annual billing carry the same per-user price. **Dupple data:** Toolradar, our software directory, tracks 176 transcription tools as of October 28, 2026, and the median cheapest paid plan across the 66 that publish a price is $12 a month ([Toolradar transcription data](https://toolradar.com/best/transcription)). Read AI's entry paid plan sits $3 above that median on annual billing and $7.75 above it on monthly billing, by our arithmetic. ## Is Read AI free? Yes, and the Free plan does more than most notetakers' free tiers. It includes 5 meeting transcripts and reports a month, unlimited search across meetings, email and messages, a personal meeting coach, basic integrations and apps for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, with no card required. The limits that push people to pay are the monthly count and the length. Free meetings are recorded up to 1 hour, so a 90-minute workshop is cut short, and **five meetings is about one working day for most managers**. Free accounts also cannot join a team workspace, so Free is a personal trial, never a team plan. ## What does Read AI Pro include? Pro removes the transcript cap and lifts the meeting length to 4 hours. You also get priority report processing, 100 minutes a month of audio and video file uploads, and premium integrations with Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Confluence, Zapier and webhooks. Every paid plan adds unlimited meeting reports, unlimited storage and workspace access. What Pro does not include is playback. You get the transcript and report, but not the audio or video recording of the meeting. **If anyone on your team rewatches calls, Pro is the wrong tier.** ## Read AI Pro vs Enterprise: what is the difference? Enterprise adds audio and video playback, video highlights, 200 upload minutes a month and premium support, for $7.50 more per user a month on annual billing, by our arithmetic. That is the whole gap: same transcripts, same 4-hour meeting cap. Enterprise+ is a security tier rather than a feature tier. It adds HIPAA compliance, SAML single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, domain capture, custom data retention, workspace onboarding, 300 upload minutes and an 8-hour meeting cap, and it requires at least 5 licenses. Read AI marks Enterprise as its most popular plan, and for teams that review sales or customer calls, playback is usually the feature that decides it. ## How much does Read AI cost for a team of 10? Here is a 10-person team for a year, on each plan and both billing cycles. *How much does Read AI cost for a team of 10?: Read AI Pricing 2026: Free, Pro, Enterprise and What a Team Really Pays. Last updated November 2026.* | Plan | Annual billing, 10 users a year | Monthly billing, 10 users a year | Extra cost of monthly | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Pro | $1,800 | $2,370 | $570 | | Enterprise | $2,700 | $3,570 | $870 | | Enterprise+ | $3,570 | $4,770 | $1,200 | Our arithmetic: users x per-user price x 12 months, on prices read October 28, 2026. **Pro on annual billing is the cheapest way to cover 10 people, at $1,800 a year.** Moving the same team to Enterprise for playback costs $900 more a year on annual billing. One quirk worth knowing: Enterprise+ on annual billing costs exactly what Enterprise costs on monthly billing, so a team that would pay monthly for Enterprise can get the security tier for the same money by committing to a year. The smallest Enterprise+ team is 5 users, which is $1,785 a year on annual billing by our arithmetic. ## Is Read AI cheaper than Fireflies or Otter? No, not at the entry level. Both rivals print lower annual per-seat prices, though the cheapest plans differ in what they allow. *Is Read AI cheaper than Fireflies or Otter?: Read AI Pricing 2026: Free, Pro, Enterprise and What a Team Really Pays. Last updated November 2026.* | 10 users, annual billing | Plan | Per user a month | 10 users a year | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Fireflies | Pro | $10 | $1,200 | | Read AI | Pro | $15 | $1,800 | | Fireflies | Business | $19 | $2,280 | | Otter | Business | $19.99 | $2,398.80 | | Read AI | Enterprise | $22.50 | $2,700 | Read on [Fireflies pricing](https://fireflies.ai/pricing) and [Otter pricing](https://otter.ai/pricing) on October 28, 2026; yearly totals are our arithmetic. Otter's Pro plan ($8.33 per user a month on annual billing, $16.99 monthly) does not appear in the 10-user row because Otter caps a Pro workspace at 5 billed users and 90 minutes a meeting. A 10-person team on Otter needs Business; our [Otter AI alternatives](https://dupple.com/learn/otter-ai-alternatives) guide covers that trade-off. Otter also shows a first-time offer on monthly Business, $24 instead of $30 for 3 months; that is a promotion, not the list price. Fireflies Pro costs $18 a month on monthly billing and Business $29, so Read AI Pro's $19.75 monthly price sits close to Fireflies Pro either way. For the full Fireflies breakdown, see our [Fireflies AI pricing guide](https://dupple.com/learn/fireflies-ai-pricing) and the [Fireflies vs Otter comparison](https://dupple.com/learn/fireflies-vs-otter). Where Read AI earns its higher price is breadth: search across email and messages on every plan, a meeting coach with talking-speed and filler-word metrics, and reports in 16+ languages. If you only need transcripts and summaries, a cheaper tool will do; our [cheapest AI meeting assistant](https://dupple.com/learn/cheapest-ai-meeting-assistant) page ranks those. ## Does Read AI offer a discount for annual billing? Yes. Annual billing is 25% off every paid plan, and that is the only discount most teams will see. Read AI also lists volume discounts on annual license counts: 10% at 100+ licenses, 15% at 500+ and 20% at 1,000+. There are no refunds. If you forget to cancel, you keep access until the end of the billing period, but the payment stands. That makes the annual plan a real commitment, so start monthly for a month if you are unsure. ## Hidden costs to budget for - **Every user needs a license.** Read AI has no admin-only seat, so a manager who only pays the bill still needs a paid license or must hand ownership to a user. - **One plan per workspace.** You cannot mix Pro and Enterprise licenses, so if two people need playback, all 10 pay Enterprise: $900 a year more on annual billing for the team. - **Enterprise+ minimum.** The security tier needs 5 licenses, so a 3-person clinic that needs HIPAA still pays for 5. - **Upload caps.** File uploads stop at 100, 200 or 300 minutes a month by plan; Free includes none. - **No refunds.** Annual plans are paid in full with no refund for unused months. - **No PayPal.** Payment is by credit card only on self-serve plans. ## Is Read AI worth paying for? For teams that want meeting notes plus search across email and chat, yes, and Pro on annual billing is the sensible start. The weak spots are real, though: Pro has no playback, the one-plan-per-workspace rule forces whole-team upgrades, and Fireflies covers the basic job for less per seat. Teams that only need a transcript should compare the free plans and the [best AI note-taking apps](https://dupple.com/learn/best-ai-note-taking-apps) first; our [best free AI meeting assistants](https://dupple.com/learn/best-free-ai-meeting-assistants) guide covers them.
