What the two pages add up to
- Notta’s free plan gives 120 minutes a month, up to three minutes a conversation; Otter’s gives 300 minutes, up to 30.
- Notta lists Webex as well as Zoom, Teams and Google Meet.
- Their cheapest paid plans are within a few cents of each other: $8.17 for Notta, $8.33 for Otter, a month billed yearly.
Which matters for your meetings
Notta's free plan is the tighter of the two: three minutes a conversation is enough to try it, not to use it. On paid plans the prices are close and the differences are elsewhere — Notta's list of meeting apps includes Webex, and its single sign-on sits on Enterprise.
What that comes to, worked out
Try a single twenty-minute call on each free plan. Notta writes down its first three minutes; Otter writes down all twenty, since its limit is 30 a conversation. Over a month of such calls Otter's 300 minutes cover fifteen of them in full, while Notta's 120 minutes would be spread over forty three-minute pieces, which is forty openings and no endings. Paid, the two are almost the same price, $8.17 and $8.33 a month billed yearly, $1.92 apart over a whole year.
The sums use only the numbers quoted above. Yearly prices are the monthly figure times twelve.
Where Meetful is different from both
Meetful is a meeting app rather than a notetaker you add to someone else's call. It transcribes each person from their own microphone, so every line carries the name of whoever said it without guessing, and there is no bot in the participant list. The notes, the recording and the transcript are free, and anybody in the meeting can leave themselves out of the notes.
