Pricing Comparison

All plans, head to head

Prime Office and Business Office are always free. Anyone can sign in and use Qik Office for free — manual sprints, tasks, chats, notes, and unrecorded meetings never cost a thing. Agent credits are only consumed when an AI actually does the work — command runs, AI minutes, business intelligence queries, storage, and other AI generations. See the AI Office Pro row below for what paid credits unlock.

Strengths and limitations, honestly assessed

Why Qik Office

18 feature advantages

  • Digital HQ with rooms that mirror your real company structure, for free — Granola is a notes layer with no office hierarchy or virtual rooms
  • Native AI Scrum Master tracks sprints, progress, and blockers automatically — Granola's notes aren't converted into tracked sprints or tasks at all
  • Built-in personal AI assistant for every team member, not just notes for the meeting host
  • Turns spoken and typed chats directly into tasks, decisions, and minutes — Granola only documents what was discussed
  • Automatically identifies speakers in both online and in-person meetings; Granola's speaker ID is unreliable with three or more participants and has no in-person capture
  • AI executes tasks and handles follow-ups based on meeting decisions, instead of leaving execution entirely undone
  • Auto-generates your company's office hierarchy and workflows — Granola has no office structure of any kind
  • 100% free app — only pay for AI Credit usage as needed, vs Granola's $14-35/user/month for meeting notes alone, with no free tier for real use

Granola Limitations

Key gaps to consider

  • A notes layer on top of another meeting tool, with no digital office hierarchy or virtual rooms
  • No recording or playback by design, so notes can't be verified against the original audio
  • Speaker identification is unreliable with three or more participants
  • No communication, project management, or business intelligence capability of its own
  • Desktop-app-only distribution; no Android app and no browser-only access
  • No workflow automation capability of any kind
  • $14-35/user/month for meeting notes alone, with no free tier for real use

Our Verdict

Granola takes excellent notes on top of whatever meeting tool you already use. Qik Office's native AI Scrum Master is the meeting tool, the AI Command Center, and the execution layer — one Digital HQ room, not a notes plugin, 100% free with AI Credits spent only on the agentic work itself.
