Questions

Is Granola HIPAA compliant?

Public reviews indicate Granola is GDPR compliant but not currently HIPAA compliant. Loominote runs on SOC 2- and HIPAA-compliant architecture (audit observation period underway), which matters for regulated teams.

Do both avoid meeting bots?

Granola is bot-free (it captures device audio). Loominote also offers botless on-device capture — plus an optional bot for online calls and in-person capture on iPhone and Apple Watch, so no meeting type is left out.

Which is better for a team rollout?

Loominote is built for teams: prep briefs, shared workspaces, admin, SSO, CRM + ATS routing. Granola is excellent as a personal/small-team notepad, primarily on Mac.
