Meeto vs Otter.ai
Meeto vs Otter.ai: built-in AI notes or a note-taker
Meeto's AI summary is built into Meeto's own calls: the host turns it on, no bot joins, and everyone sees an indicator. Meeto Pro costs $6.99 a month with the video call, cloud recording and 10 hours of AI summary included; Otter Pro costs $16.99 per user a month on top of the meeting tool you use. Meeto detects the language of each speaker, and meeting content is not used to train AI models.

Why people switch from Otter.ai to Meeto
The meetings and their notes live in one place: Meeto hosts the call and writes its summary.
Guests join from a link in the browser, and nobody extra appears in the participant list.
Mixed-language meetings work: Meeto detects the language for each speaker.
The call, the booking page and the notes come for $6.99 a month in one account.
Which languages can each one transcribe?
Otter lists six transcription languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese. If your meetings run in another language, Otter is not an option for them.
Meeto detects the language for each speaker, so a call where one person speaks Spanish and another English is transcribed as spoken. The summary is written in the meeting's main language. The Meeto interface itself comes in 42 languages, which matters for guests who join from a link.
To check your own language, run a short test call on Meeto Pro, turn on the AI summary and read the transcript before you rely on it. Names, numbers and product terms are the first things to check in any transcript.

Frequently asked questions
Does a bot join the call to take notes?
No. Meeto's AI summary runs inside the Meeto call: the host turns it on from the call controls, no extra participant joins, and everyone in the call sees a notice and an indicator while it runs.
Do I need a separate note-taker for Meeto calls?
No. Meeto calls have their own AI summary on the Pro and Team plans: a transcript with speaker names, a summary, key points, decisions and action items, exported as Markdown, plain text, PDF summary.
What happens after Meeto's 10 hours a month?
Meeto still produces a full transcript and a basic summary for each meeting until the allowance renews next month. The allowance is 10 hours a month on Pro and on each paid Team seat.
Does Otter.ai train AI on my meetings?
Otter says it trains its own models on de-identified user data. Meeto does not use meeting content to train AI models.
