Otter.ai
AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes and summarizes your calls
About Otter.ai
## Intro Otter.ai is an AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes and summarizes calls on Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. You can also import recorded files, search across past conversations and ask questions about your meetings with AI Chat. It offers plans for individuals, teams and larger companies, starting with a free tier. The goal is simple: never take meeting notes by hand again, and be able to find what was said weeks later. ## Key features - **Transcripts and summaries.** Automatic transcription and AI summaries for meetings on the three big video platforms, so you can stay in the conversation instead of taking notes. - **AI Chat.** Ask questions across your meetings, such as what a client agreed to last week. Query limits depend on plan, from 20 per user on the free plan to 200 on Business. - **Integrations.** Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier on paid plans, with CRM sync for sales calls. An Otter MCP server connects meeting data to AI assistants. - **API and webhooks.** Available on Enterprise for teams that want to pipe meeting data into their own systems. ## Best for Otter.ai suits founders on lots of sales or customer calls, agencies keeping a record of client meetings, and consultants who need searchable transcripts. Sales teams on HubSpot or Salesforce get extra value from CRM sync. Builders who live in Claude or other AI assistants can use the MCP server to pull meeting context into their work. Students and teachers get 20% off Pro. ## Pricing summary Basic is free with 300 minutes a month and a 30-minute cap per conversation. Pro is $16.99 a month or $8.33 a month billed annually, with 1,200 minutes. Business is $30 a month or $19.99 annually, with unlimited meetings. Enterprise is custom. ## Quick verdict Otter.ai is an established, affordable meeting assistant with a usable free plan. The 30-minute cap on free meetings is limiting, and the category is crowded, with Fathom, Granola, Fireflies and Read AI all competing on similar features. Try a few free plans and pick the one whose summaries fit how you work. If you run long workshops or client calls, budget for Business: Pro caps each conversation at 90 minutes, while Business allows up to four hours. Annual billing roughly halves the Pro price, so it is worth committing once you know you will keep using it. Always tell people on the call that it is being recorded.
