Summary
Circleback introduced its first free plan, letting users transcribe unlimited meetings while limiting transcript history to the last 30 days.
The move targets user drop-off from the startup’s previously limited trial and intensifying competition from rivals including Granola, Read AI, Fireflies, Wispr and Calendly.
Free users get recording, mobile and Apple Watch apps, AI transcript queries, and Slack and Linear integrations; paid plans start at $14 a month annually for full integrations, unlimited history, and API and MCP access.
Founded in 2023, Circleback says it has been profitable since raising $2.5 million in 2024, with more than $1 million in run-rate revenue per employee—about $8 million across its eight-person team.
The company said it is treating the free tier as a marketing spend instead of buying Google or Meta ads, and is not seeking new funding despite inbound interest.
