## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> I'd start with **Otter**, **Fireflies**, or **Fathom**. Which one fits depends on whether you care most about live transcripts, integrations, or cost.
> 
> 1. **Otter.ai** is the default pick for teams that spend a lot of time in meetings. Its bot joins Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls by itself, and you can read and edit the transcript while the call is still going. The downsides: it's essentially English-only, and the free plan stops at 300 minutes a month and 30 minutes per meeting.

> 
> 2. **Fireflies.ai** is best if your team works in CRMs or needs to search old meetings. It logs summaries, action items and transcripts straight into Salesforce, HubSpot or Pipedrive. It supports more languages than Otter and costs around $10 per user per month. It also had the best accuracy (about 92%) in one head-to-head test.

> 
> 3. **Fathom** is the best value for small teams. The free plan
