Owll.ai gates real-time transcription behind Pro, so free users may miss live captions. Pro is sold weekly ($7.99 per week) or annually, with no plain monthly plan seen. The vendor says it is not a HIPAA platform and not built to store PHI, and recordings need an account and cloud storage, so sensitive meetings leave the device.
Otter.ai is the closest, recording and summarizing Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls, with a free tier and Pro at $16.99 per user per month. Notion AI covers meeting notes inside a workspace, with a free tier and Plus at $12 per member per month. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) answers questions grounded in your own sources and makes summaries, with a free tier and no price stated.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
