AudioTranscribr vs Otter.ai
Otter joins your Zoom, Meet and Teams calls, records them live and writes notes. Uploading an existing file is a side feature with its own caps.
Figures for Otter.ai are from their public pricing and current reviews as of October 2026; they change, so check theirs. Ours come from the same file that runs our billing.
Otter.ai (October 2026)
- Free: 300 minutes a month, 30 minutes per conversation, and 3 file imports for the life of the account.
- Pro: $16.99 a month ($8.33 billed yearly) for 1,200 minutes a month and a 90-minute cap per conversation.
- Business: $30 a month per user ($19.99 yearly); import allowances are quoted differently by different sources.
AudioTranscribr
- Built for files, not calls: upload or link a recording up to 5 GB, no per-file length cap short of our one-hour processing limit on huge videos.
- Every job gives you JSON, SRT, VTT, TXT and a PDF to download, with speaker labels on every plan.
- The same account works from code and from AI assistants (REST API, MCP server). Otter has no public API on consumer plans.
Pick Otter.ai if…
You want a bot in your live meetings that takes notes while you talk. That is Otter’s whole product and we do not do it.
Pick AudioTranscribr if…
You already have recordings — meetings, interviews, lectures, podcasts, videos — and want clean transcripts and subtitles without an import quota.
