Pick Notta if…
you record long meetings or interviews and want 1,800 minutes a month at a low price, and you're comfortable paying for a year up front.
Both transcribe Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls and summarize them. Notta sells more minutes for less money, and also covers Webex and Slack, but its advertised prices require annual billing and its free plan stops each recording at 3 minutes. Otter has the more usable free plan and longer history in meeting transcription, with AI Chat over your notes and CRM integrations on Pro, at a higher month-to-month price and with shorter meeting caps.
Pick Notta ($8.17/mo, billed annually) if you want the most transcription minutes per dollar and long recordings. Pick Otter.ai if you want to start free with 300 minutes a month, or need Pro's ($16.99/mo per user) Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier integrations.

Compare like for like. Notta Pro's $8.17/mo is an annual-billing rate (Notta doesn't publish a monthly price), while Otter Pro's $16.99/mo is month to month and Otter also discounts annual plans. The clearer difference is minutes: 1,800 a month on Notta Pro against 1,200 on Otter Pro.
Yes: 120 minutes a month and 10 AI summaries, but each recording is capped at 3 minutes, so it's only a test. Otter's free plan gives 300 minutes.
Notta Pro allows up to 5 hours per recording; Otter Pro caps meetings at 90 minutes, and Otter Business raises that to 4 hours.
