[ 03a — When Otter.ai is right ]
Otter.ai is the better fit when…
- · You want a free transcript-only product with no need for summaries or action items
- · You record solo lectures or interviews more than meetings
- · You're already deep in the Otter ecosystem with shared folders and historical recordings
[ 03b — Why teams pick Luni ]
The case for Luni.
- · Same recording quality without the in-meeting bot pop-ups + chat-window interruptions
- · Recap reads like a faithful summary, not a marketing-flavoured highlight reel
- · Three-platform parity — Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams treated identically (Otter is Zoom-heavy)
- · Word for word recap delivered the moment the meeting ends, not after a delay
