Otter.ai

Otter.ai helps teams capture conversations and turn them into searchable notes and summaries. The official pricing page lists a free Basic plan and positions Otter as a meeting assistant that can support common meeting platforms and provide a searchable record of what was discussed. For free usage, Otter provides clear limits: Basic is free forever and includes 300 monthly transcription minutes, with a cap of 30 minutes per conversation, and the ability to import and transcribe 3 audio or video files lifetime per user. These constraints make Basic suitable for testing accuracy and workflow fit, but not for heavy meeting loads. Paid tiers add higher limits and team features, and the pricing page shows a Pro tier priced per user per month and a Business tier with more collaboration and administration. Operationally, Otter is evaluated on transcription quality under real audio conditions, speaker identification usefulness, and how your team will store and share meeting notes. For sensitive meetings, confirm data handling expectations and access controls before adoption. If you need structured follow ups, test how Otter outputs summaries and action items and whether exports integrate with your task and documentation tools.
