Chaque prix et chaque fonctionnalité ci-dessous a été vérifié en date du 2026-08-09 auprès de la source citée à côté. Les choses évoluent — signalez-nous tout élément obsolète.
Quand Otter.ai est le meilleur choix
- The widest platform coverage in the category, including a genuinely capable Android app.
- The cheapest annual price of any paid tier here at $8.33.
- A large, well-tested product with years of accumulated reliability.
Nos différences
- No bot ever joins a call, and disclosure state is recorded per meeting.
- Model training is off unless you turn it on.
- Transcription runs on your own device and the audio is never uploaded, so there is no transcription-minutes meter to run out of.

Ce que nous ne faisons pas
- We launched in September 2026. The web app and installable PWA are live and you can use them now; every product we compare against has years of production history and we have days. There is no independent track record to check yet.
- No diarization. No engine we use separates speakers, we do not store voiceprints as a matter of policy, and speaker names are typed by the user. Wispr pulls real names off the calendar invite; on this one they are simply better and it is the most visible thing we lack.
- No system-wide dictation you can install today. Dictate works inside the browser tab and installed app, and you copy or share the result; the macOS client that types where your cursor is exists in source but is not distributed. Wispr Flow types into any app on four platforms.
- No native app is distributed. The product is a web app and an installable PWA; the macOS scaffold compiles but ships to nobody. On-device transcription therefore needs a browser with WebGPU or WASM rather than a Mac, which is a wider net than it sounds, but it is not a native app.
- On-device transcription costs a one-time model download before the first meeting, and runs slower on a weak machine than a datacentre GPU would. That is the trade we are making for never uploading your audio; we state it rather than hiding it.
- Newer and smaller than every product on this page, with no track record to point at.
