# Granola vs Ticket Fairy

Fai, your AI teammate, can check sales, update your event or change a ticket when you ask.

Granola is an AI notepad that takes notes from your computer's audio, so no bot joins the call, and enhances the notes you type. With Ticket Fairy, Fai's notetaker joins the calls on your calendar and keeps the notes on the event, with the key numbers and dates and an owner and a date on every follow-up.

- **10 of 10** of the things you need, included on Ticket Fairy
- **6 of 10** of the things you need, confirmed on the published pages of Granola
- **4** things you need that Ticket Fairy includes and Granola does not

## The short answer

Which should you choose?

### Where Ticket Fairy is stronger

- When you connect your calendar, Fai's notetaker joins the video calls on it without a link.[1](#source-1)
- Fai's notes list the key numbers and dates mentioned on the call, so a fee, a deposit or a load-in time is written down as it was said.[1](#source-1)
- Every advance call, production meeting and security briefing the notetaker joins is kept under its event, so your team can see what was agreed weeks later.[1](#source-1)

### Where Granola is stronger

- Granola uses your computer audio, so no meeting bot joins the call.[2](#source-2)
- The Granola iPhone and Android apps take notes in walking meetings, conferences and coffee catch-ups.[3](#source-3)
- Granola prepares a brief before each external meeting with attendees, past discussion and current priorities.[4](#source-4)

Granola suits you if you would rather no bot joins the call, take notes in person on your phone and want a brief before each external meeting. Ticket Fairy is the better fit when your calls are about your events and you want the notes to be taken and filed on the event without anyone starting them.

## How Ticket Fairy does it

What happens to a call when your notes live on the event?

Fai, your AI teammate in Ticket Fairy, takes the notes, so whoever runs the call can stay in the conversation and everyone else can see what was agreed.

1. **Fai's notetaker joins your call** You give Fai the link to a Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call, or connect your calendar, and her notetaker joins when the call starts. [Take notes on your event calls with Fai](https://www.ticketfairy.com/guides/take-notes-on-your-event-calls-with-fai)
2. **The notes go through it topic by topic** Fai's summary sets out the decisions, and her notes to share cover what was discussed topic by topic, the open questions and the key numbers and dates said.
3. **Every follow-up has an owner and a date** Each follow-up agreed on the call shows who took it on and by when, and Fai suggests a task for a deadline the call set.
4. **The call stays on the event** The notes sit under the event beside your ticket sales, contracts and advancing, and you can ask Fai what was agreed weeks later.

Your team sees what each artist, venue, supplier and sponsor call agreed, with who does what and by when, on the event it was about.

## What this comparison leaves out

What does this comparison leave out?

Granola is built around the notes you type during a meeting, on desktop and phone, with pre-meeting briefs and HubSpot sync that this table about event calls does not measure.

Plans and features change often, so each source at the foot of this page gives the date we read Granola's own pages.

## Moving to Ticket Fairy

Can I use Granola and Ticket Fairy together?

Yes. You can keep Granola for the meetings you take notes in yourself and send Fai's notetaker to the calls about an event, so those notes and follow-ups sit on the event.
