What the free Basic plan really includes
Basic gives every user 300 transcription minutes a month, shared between live meetings and uploaded files, with no rollover. Each conversation stops at 30 minutes, you can record one meeting at a time, and only the 25 most recent conversations stay visible.
The tighter limit is imports: three audio or video files for the lifetime of the account, not per month. Exports are limited to TXT and audio.
Limits worth knowing before you pay
- Imports. Pro allows 10 file imports a month, each up to 90 minutes. Business removes the count but caps imported audio at 6,000 minutes per user a month.
- Languages. The pricing page lists six languages; Otter’s own help center lists four (English, Spanish, French, Japanese) and says other languages are not supported. Plan for English-first use.
- Translation. There is no translation feature; the help center suggests asking Otter Chat to translate.
- CRM sync. Salesforce and HubSpot notes sync for 1 user on Pro and 5 on Business.
Which plan fits
Pro suits one person who mostly records English meetings with the bot and imports a handful of files. Business is for teams that need longer meetings, more imports and several CRM users. If your work is recorded files rather than live meetings, the import caps matter more than the minute totals.
How Otter.ai compares with BlaBlaScribe on price
BlaBlaScribe charges by transcription minutes, not seats: 30 free minutes to start, Creator at $14 a month for 600 minutes ($11 a month billed yearly), or minute packs from 50 minutes for $5 with no subscription. There is no limit on the number of uploads and no 90-minute cap per file, and transcripts cover 120+ languages with translation into 50+. Otter is the better fit if you want a bot to join and record live meetings — BlaBlaScribe does not have one.
