Pick Otter Basic (Free) if…
you have a few meetings a week and mainly want searchable transcripts from Zoom, Teams or Meet.
Otter's free Basic plan already joins Zoom, Teams and Google Meet. What it rations is time and imports: 300 minutes a month and just 3 file imports for the life of the account. Pro raises both and connects your notes to Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier.
Stay on Otter Basic if you transcribe a few meetings a week — 300 minutes is about five hours. Move to Otter Pro ($16.99/mo per user) if you're in calls daily, need meetings up to 90 minutes, upload recordings regularly or want notes flowing into your CRM.

you have a few meetings a week and mainly want searchable transcripts from Zoom, Teams or Meet.
meetings fill your calendar, you import recorded files, or your team works out of Salesforce or HubSpot.
Basic's 3 file imports are lifetime, not monthly, so if you plan to upload interviews or lectures rather than have Otter join live calls, the free plan runs out almost immediately. For meetings longer than 90 minutes, Business ($30/mo per user) allows up to 4 hours.
Yes. Otter's Basic plan is free with 300 transcription minutes a month, Zoom/Teams/Meet integration and 3 lifetime file imports.
Otter Pro is $16.99/mo per user; Basic is free. Each person who needs Pro's minutes needs their own seat.
