Otter.ai
Otter.ai is the AI notetaker standard for auto-join transcription and summaries — bot joins Zoom/Meet/Teams, free Basic tier gives 300 min/month, Pro entry at $8.33/mo annual.
AI meeting-notes tools auto-join a call (or run quietly in the browser) to transcribe, summarize and pull out action items. We evaluate the free or trial tier, how the per-user minute or credit pool scales, per-meeting length caps, CRM auto-fill depth, and the no-bot / local-processing privacy model.

When you compare AI Meeting Notes tools, the fields that decide the outcome are the ones this index actually stores: whether a free plan exists and what it limits, the published entry price and how it bills (per seat, per month, per workspace), what the trial covers, which of the six index dimensions the tool scores on, when each figure was last checked against the official page, and which alternatives sit in the same category. Each tool page prints those fields with its own verification date, the AI Meeting Notes comparison pages put two products side by side on the same fields, and the list pages rank the category against the rest of the index — so you can move from a shortlist to a decision without opening a vendor's sales page.
