Notta vs Otter.ai

Otter.ai focuses on building a conversation knowledge engine: automated action items, speaker recognition, and Otter AI Chat that queries across all meetings. Its MCP Server enables integration with ChatGPT and Claude, and it syncs with Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, and Jira. The desktop app (Mac/Windows) allows bot-free recording. Notta differentiates with visual outputs: it can generate infographics and PowerPoint slides from meetings via Notta Brain, which also supports scheduled tasks and cross-recording search. It transcribes in 58 languages and offers bilingual transcription. Notta Brain recently added LINE integration and slide template pre-selection. While both support major meeting platforms (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet), Notta integrates with Zapier and LINE, whereas Otter offers MCP Server and deeper enterprise governance guides. For collaboration, Otter has shared Channels and real-time editing; Notta focuses more on individual query-to-presentation workflows. Otter's latest news emphasizes enterprise AI governance and knowledge management, suggesting a shift toward compliance-heavy use cases. Notta's updates highlight user experience improvements (auto-pause/resume, send limits) and expanding integrations (LINE, Slack).

Both offer freemium models. Otter's free tier gives 300 minutes per month (max 30 min per conversation). Notta's free tier offers 120 minutes per day (unlimited per conversation up to daily cap) - that's roughly 3,600 min/month if used daily, but with a daily hard limit. Pro plans: Otter Pro $16.99/mo (1,200 min/month, 90 min per conversation); Notta Pro $13.99/mo (1,800 min/month). Business plans: Otter Business $30/mo/user (custom minutes); Notta Business $25.99/mo/user (6,000 min/month per user). Both have enterprise custom pricing. Notta's free tier is more generous for heavy daily users (120 min/day vs Otter's 300 min/month). For power users needing a lot of transcription, Notta's Pro is cheaper and offers higher monthly minutes. However, Otter's CRM integrations and enterprise governance may justify its higher price for sales teams. Notta's visual output may also save time for consultants preparing client-facing materials, offsetting the subscription cost.
