The verdict

Bluedot wins, 7.7 to 7.4

Language coverage favors Bluedot here: 100 languages against Granola's 31. Bluedot keeps meeting video once you reach its Pro plan, while Granola stores only the transcript and screen share screenshots at every tier. Granola undercuts Bluedot on price, starting at $14 a month versus $18, and trains on your data unless you opt out, while Bluedot does not train its AI on your data at all. Bluedot also lets you cut and share clips, a feature Granola's plans do not offer.

Pick Bluedot if you want broader language support and clips to share.

Pick Granola if you want a cheaper start and a say in AI training.
