Common questions

FAQ

Yes. CallScout connects via webhook to Zoom, Google Meet, or any platform that can push a call-ended event. Setup takes under 10 minutes. Your existing Fireflies transcripts stay in Fireflies — CallScout processes calls from the moment you go live. Many teams run both briefly, then drop Fireflies once they see the signal extraction and follow-up flow.
Yes — CallScout uses AssemblyAI for transcription, then runs OpenAI signal extraction on the transcript. You get the full transcript stored in your account, plus six structured buying signals extracted per call: budget mentions, competitor references, decision-maker identifications, timeline signals, objections, and pricing discussions. Fireflies gives you the transcript and notes. CallScout gives you the transcript, the structured signals, and the follow-up email.
CallScout processes call transcripts only — no video analysis, no emotion recognition, no behavioral inference from audio or facial expressions. The EU AI Act's Article 5 prohibited practices restrict emotion recognition in workplace contexts. CallScout has no EU AI Act compliance exposure for this reason. Fireflies is also transcript-only, so both products are clear here. The difference is that CallScout extracts structured buying signals from the text — no prohibited AI practices involved.
Fireflies charges per seat: Pro is $10/seat/mo, Business is $19/seat/mo. A 10-rep team on Business pays $2,280/yr. Scale to 25 reps and that's $5,700/yr. CallScout is $49/mo flat — $588/yr regardless of headcount. Founding members lock that rate for life. As you hire, CallScout's per-rep cost approaches zero. Fireflies' bill grows linearly.
CallScout extracts six deal-relevant signal types automatically: budget mentions, competitor references, decision-maker identities, timeline signals, objections, and pricing discussions. Each is structured as a typed record — not buried in a paragraph. Fireflies generates AI meeting notes and allows you to search transcripts, but does not extract structured buying signals or generate CRM-ready payloads. If you want a follow-up email that references the prospect's objection by name, you need signal extraction — that's CallScout's core loop.
