What Otter.ai costs
- 1 user: $16.99/mo (Pro $16.99/user/mo monthly list price (1,200 min/mo, 90-min meeting cap, unlimited history). The $8.49 50%-off monthly offer is promotional, so it is ignored. Basic fails (30-min cap, 300 min, 25 conversations).)
- 10 users: $300/mo (Pro workspaces max 5 billed users, so Business: $30/user/mo monthly x 10 = $300 (unlimited minutes, 4-hr cap). The 20%-off-for-3-months price ($24) is a first-time promo, so it is ignored.)
Plan compared: Pro. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing for one person, or a 10-person team, each recording about 20 meetings (15 hours) a month with a transcript and AI summary of every meeting. Annual-only plans are shown as the annual price divided by 12.
