| What it does | Otter.ai is an AI meeting notetaker that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings and uploaded audio or video files. | Fireflies.ai is an AI notetaker that joins or records meetings and produces transcripts, summaries, and action items. |
| When to consider it | Consider it when recurring video meetings are the main source of recordings and you want searchable notes and summaries without a manual upload step. | Consider it when meetings run across several platforms and you want the option to record through a browser extension instead of a visible meeting bot. |
| What to check first | The free plan documents a monthly transcription-minute pool, a short per-conversation limit, and only a few lifetime file imports. Check minutes, meeting length, and import limits in the intended plan. | Paid plans are charged per seat, and rate limits are documented for the API, dialers, and bulk file uploads. English is the primary language; many other languages are documented as beta. |
