Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Otter.ai.

Two separate limits apply at once, a monthly minute allowance and a per conversation cap, so a long meeting can be cut short with allowance remaining
The free plan cuts off at 30 minutes per conversation and 300 minutes a month
The Pro plan still caps a single conversation at 90 minutes
Even unlimited plans cap a conversation at 4 hours
Imported file transcription has its own separate monthly limit, at 6,000 minutes on Business
Paying monthly rather than annually roughly doubles the rate, from $8.33 to $16.99 on Pro

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Otter.ai, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
