Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fireflies at 4.8 against Gemara's 2.8. Fireflies also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 20%) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 20). Gemara's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
