Otter details from Otter pricing, checked October 27, 2026. Prices change, so check theirs before you compare. Otter is a trademark of its owner, and Écoute isn't affiliated with it.
To be fair: If you want live notes written during the meeting, or a free plan for occasional short calls, Otter does that today.
