Grain is an AI meeting recording platform for sales and customer teams that captures Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Slack huddles calls with AI notes, recaps, and shareable video clips, with a free plan and paid Starter plan from $19 per seat per month.

Profile

Grain is an AI meeting recording platform built for sales and customer teams that captures Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack huddle calls, generating AI notes, next-step recaps and shareable video clips from key moments. It is aimed at revenue and customer-facing teams that want to pull highlight clips and coaching moments out of calls, not just a text transcript. Grain runs on a freemium model: the free plan covers 20 meetings and lets you try AI notes, and the paid Starter plan starts at $19 per seat per month.

Who builds it

Grain is developed by Grain, the company behind grain.com. The product is built specifically around sales and customer-facing use cases, emphasizing shareable video clips and recap generation from calls rather than positioning itself as a general-purpose meeting notetaker.

Core features

  • Meeting recording across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack huddles.
  • AI meeting notes, next-step extraction and automatic meeting recaps generated from call content.
  • Shareable video clips pulled from key moments in a call, useful for coaching or sharing highlights with stakeholders who did not attend.
  • AI-assisted call search, extracting key takeaways, identifying action items and answering questions about past calls.

Who it is for

Grain fits sales, customer success and revenue teams that want to turn call recordings into shareable coaching and highlight clips, not just written summaries. The free plan's 20-meeting allowance is enough to test the AI notes and clip workflow before moving to the $19/seat/month Starter plan for ongoing team use.

Data and privacy

Grain states that all data is hosted on AWS infrastructure in the USA and holds SOC 2 Type II certification. For DACH and EU-based teams with strict DSGVO data-residency requirements, this US-only hosting is an important consideration — Grain does not offer an EU-hosting option in the facts available here, so teams needing data to stay within the EU should evaluate this limitation directly against their compliance requirements before adopting Grain, or confirm with the vendor whether any EU-region hosting has since become available.

Bottom line

Grain is best understood as a sales-and-customer-facing meeting tool built around shareable clips and recaps rather than a generic transcript archive, most valuable to revenue teams that coach from call highlights — though its US-only data hosting is a real constraint for DACH organizations with strict DSGVO data-residency requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What does Grain cost?

Grain is freemium. The free plan covers 20 meetings and lets you try AI notes, and the paid Starter plan starts at $19 per seat per month for ongoing team use.

Is Grain free?

Yes, Grain has a free plan covering 20 meetings that lets you view your team's meetings and try AI notes. For unlimited or higher-volume use, the Starter plan starts at $19 per seat per month.

Is Grain DSGVO-compliant, and where is data hosted?

Grain states that all data is hosted on AWS infrastructure in the USA, and it holds SOC 2 Type II certification. This means Grain does not offer EU-only data hosting based on the facts available here, so DACH teams with strict DSGVO data-residency requirements should treat this as a real constraint and confirm current hosting options directly with Grain before adopting it.

Which meeting platforms does Grain support?

Grain works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack huddles, recording calls across all five platforms and generating AI notes, recaps and shareable clips from them.

Does Grain extract action items from calls?

Yes, Grain extracts key takeaways and identifies action items automatically from call content, and it supports AI-assisted search for getting answers from past meetings.

Grain vs. Gong — which should I pick?

Both target sales and customer-facing teams and go beyond plain transcripts, but Grain emphasizes shareable video clips and recaps on a self-serve freemium model starting at $19 per seat per month, while Gong is a broader revenue intelligence platform typically sold through a sales-led, quote-based process. If self-serve pricing and lightweight clip-sharing matter most, Grain is the more accessible option; compare both vendors' current pricing pages and demo terms before deciding.
