Alternatives · Notta

The Notta alternative without an annual plan.

Short answer. Notta's Free plan gives 120 minutes a month but stops each conversation at 3 minutes. Pro is $8.17 a month billed annually ($97.99 a year) for 1,800 minutes a month and recordings up to 5 hours; Business is $16.67 a month billed annually ($199.99 a year) with unlimited minutes. If you transcribe 30 hours every month and are happy to pay a year upfront, Notta Pro is about as cheap as it gets. If your use is uneven or your files run longer than 5 hours, Whipscribe has no annual commitment: packs are $4 for 500 minutes, $12 for 2,000 and $24 for 5,000.

Be fair to Notta

Who Notta is the better choice for.

Meetings, every week

Notta records Zoom, Meet and Teams calls; Whipscribe does not join meetings.

A steady 30 hours a month

Pro's 1,800 minutes for $8.17 a month, paid yearly, is hard to beat at that exact volume.

Teams over 50 people

Enterprise plans start at 51 seats.

Where each one wins

Whipscribe, better and worse.

Where Whipscribe is better

  • No annual commitment: a pack is bought once and credits never expire.
  • Files up to 10 hours, against 5 hours per recording on Notta's paid plans.
  • A full transcript from the first file: there is no 3-minute cap, only a free preview of the opening minutes before you pay.
  • YouTube, podcast, RSS and Google Drive links, and translation into 99 languages.

Where Whipscribe is worse

  • No meeting bot and no live transcription.
  • At a steady 30 hours every month, Notta Pro billed yearly costs slightly less than packs.
  • Speakers are named in the summary, quotes and chapters, not on each transcript line.
