Enzo vs Granola
Enzo and Granola, side by side.
Enzo is your own AI assistant for Mac. Dictation, meeting recording, speaker labels and meeting notes are free, and capture runs on your Mac. Chat answers from your own work with cloud AI, and Plus adds all your history, Medium and High effort, about 6× the AI usage and sending for $10 a month.
Respect first, then the difference.
Granola combines meeting notes with Chat, shared folders, and integrations. Both apps can help you ask questions about a conversation, and both capture meetings without adding a bot. Enzo brings an assistant to your Mac. Voice typing, meeting recording and speaker labels are free and run on your Mac; Chat answers from recordings, documents, your screen and the work you choose to keep in Recall. Your history stays on your Mac, which is the reason to consider it.
Where Enzo is different
Unlimited free voice typing
Speak into emails, messages, notes, and prompts in your Mac apps. Free has no word limit or expiry, and speech is transcribed on your Mac.
Meetings you can revisit
Every plan records audio and creates a transcript with separate speaker labels. Listen again, ask a question, or get notes and a follow-up draft.
Help with the work in front of you
Bring a document, a recording, or your current screen into Chat for explanations, questions, and writing.
Recall, when you choose it
Keep permitted work context on your Mac, encrypted, for as long as you choose. Chat reaches today and your last working day on Free, and all of it on Plus.
Your history stays on your Mac
Transcription and Recall run on your Mac. Chat sends only the context a question needs to Enzo’s cloud AI. Enzo’s service keeps none of it, and the AI provider keeps it only briefly to check for abuse.
Free, Plus $10, Pro $20
Free has no time limit and writes notes after your meetings. Plus adds all your history, Medium and High effort for $10 a month, with a 14-day free trial; Pro is $20.
Sits in on every meeting.
Enzo records from your Mac and labels who said what. No bot joins the call.
