How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Fireflies when sales call capture and crm logging matters most, and Podsqueeze when generating show notes, summaries, and social clips from a recorded conversation matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

AI tool that transcribes podcasts, interviews, and video recordings and repurposes them into show notes, summaries, clips, and social posts.
Fireflies.ai joins video calls to record and transcribe meetings, then generates AI summaries, action items, and fully searchable notes. Its AskFred assistant lets you query past meetings in natural language ("what did we decide about pricing?"), while conversation-intelligence features add topic trackers, talk-time, and sentiment analytics. Fireflies works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, transcribes in a wide range of languages, and integrates natively with CRMs such as Salesforce and HubSpot plus Slack, Notion, Asana, and Zapier. A free plan covers limited transcription and AI credits for individuals; paid tiers raise transcription and storage limits and unlock team conversation analytics, making it a strong fit for sales, recruiting, and customer-research teams that live in their CRM.

Podsqueeze is an AI-powered podcast production and repurposing platform built to turn a single long-form audio or video recording into a range of derivative assets. Its transcription engine converts conversations into text with automatic speaker identification and exports SRT subtitle files, which makes it usable for interview shows, panel discussions, and multi-host recordings as well as solo episodes. From a transcript, the tool can generate timestamped show notes, episode titles, summaries, blog drafts, newsletters, and social media posts, and it can cut short video clips and audiograms sized for vertical platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. Additional capabilities include one-click audio cleanup to remove filler words and silences, folder-based organization for managing multiple shows, and customizable AI tuning so output can be aligned with a brand voice before publishing. Podsqueeze also exposes a transcription API for developers who want to embed its speech-to-text into their own workflows. The product is actively operated, with its site referencing a large active-user base and a 2026 copyright. It is best suited to podcasters, agencies, and teams that record interviews or conversations and want to scale transcription and content output without manual editing. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
