Notta

Overview

Notta is a transcription and meeting-capture service for people who need searchable records of conversations and recordings. It suits professionals who want transcripts alongside summaries and action items, while teams can use shared workspaces and administrative controls. Its breadth of capture options is a strength; the free plan’s three-minute conversation limit is a serious constraint for regular meeting use.

Key features

Notta can capture virtual or offline meetings and transcribe uploaded files. Recording modes include bot-based and bot-free meeting capture, screen recording, and mobile memos. It supports Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, with integrations including calendars, Notion, Zapier, CRM tools, Slack, and cloud storage. That range gives users several ways to bring conversations into one searchable archive.

Transcription is available in 58 languages, with speaker identification and timestamps to help make long conversations easier to follow. AI summaries and action items turn transcripts into a more practical meeting record, and transcripts can be exported as TXT, DOCX, SRT, PDF, or XLSX. Notta also offers calendar integrations and searchable archiving.

Business and Enterprise workspaces let members view and collaborate on team content. Business adds security controls and usage reports; Enterprise adds SAML SSO, audit logs, and data access control. The service is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, and lists HIPAA. Customer data is hosted on Amazon Web Services and regularly backed up.

Pricing

Notta uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs nothing, requires no credit card, and provides one seat, 120 transcription minutes per month, a three-minute limit per conversation, 50 file uploads per month, and 10 AI summaries per month. Those caps make it useful for brief or occasional transcription, but a poor fit for full-length recurring meetings.

Pro costs $8.17 a month when billed annually, with a $97.99 total. It is a one-seat plan with 1,800 transcription minutes per month, recordings up to five hours, 100 file uploads per month, and 100 AI summaries per month. It is the clearest step up for an individual whose meetings exceed the Free plan’s limits; annual billing is the stated term.

Business costs $16.67 a month when billed annually, with a $199.99 total. It includes five hours per recording, 200 file uploads per month, and 200 AI summaries per month, alongside team collaboration and administration features. A seven-day trial is offered for Business. The plan is aimed at teams, but its published description does not give a transcription-minute quota or seat count.

Enterprise has custom pricing and starts at 51 seats. It includes five-hour recordings, unlimited file uploads and AI summaries, plus customized transcription, advanced security, control, and support. Priority support is included. This tier is for larger organizations that need tighter access controls; it is not a priced alternative for a small team comparing fixed monthly plans.

Canceled paid subscriptions retain paid-feature access until the subscription period ends. Transcription data is saved after cancellation, but Free users can view only the first three minutes.

Platforms

Notta is available on the web, iOS, Android, Chrome, Mac, and Windows. This mix supports use across browsers, phones, and desktop computers.

Who it's for

Notta is a strong fit for professionals who want meeting capture, multilingual transcripts, summaries, and action items in one service, especially when export choices and searchable history matter. Teams that need shared content can consider Business, while organizations starting at 51 seats and requiring enterprise security controls can look to Enterprise. It is less suitable for anyone who needs substantial ongoing transcription without a paid plan: the Free tier’s three-minute per-conversation cap limits its usefulness for normal-length meetings.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Multiple recording modes and support for four major meeting platforms give users flexibility in how they capture conversations.
• Pros: Speaker labels, timestamps, summaries, action items, and searchable archives make the output more useful than a plain transcript.
• Pros: Five export formats make it easier to move transcripts into different workflows.
• Cons: Free users are limited to three minutes per conversation, even though the monthly allowance is 120 minutes.
• Cons: Pro’s $8.17 USD monthly price requires annual billing, and it remains a one-seat plan.

Alternatives

Consider Otter.ai if its free Basic plan’s 300 monthly transcription minutes per user matter more than Notta’s broader stated export and recording options; Basic also caps workspaces at five members and imported files at three per user for life.

Amazon Transcribe is worth considering for API-based transcription; its free tier provides 60 minutes per month for 12 months, with restrictions applying.

Verdict

Choose Notta if you want meeting capture and file transcription paired with summaries, action items, speaker labels, and flexible exports. Pro is the sensible starting point for an individual who needs more than brief transcripts; teams needing collaboration can consider Business. Look elsewhere if you expect the free tier to handle full meetings, or if you need a clearly stated Business transcription quota before committing.
