An open letter from our CEO

Hey everyone—

First of all, as a buyer of many SaaS and AI tools myself, I feel for you — it's a pretty cumbersome and stressful job to compare plethora of tools in the market.

You spend weeks and months in researching these tools, then evaluate a few, and eventually decide to purchase one, and then cross your fingers and hope you made the right decision.

During this research, comparison pages typically get a bad rap. Every vendor shows a list of all features with their side filled with all green checkboxes, and the competitor gets all red crosses.

That's why we lost the trust in these comparison pages.

But we want to do it right.

We want to help you make an informed decision—by being transparent, objective and fair.

We respect Otter. They have been around longer as one of the earliest transcription app. So there is no putting them down, or one-upping us.

And if you think we're not being fair, call us out and email me at aditya@avoma.com.

Happy buying!

Missing these advanced capabilities in Otter?

Don’t get fooled by features that just tick the boxes, only to discover later they don’t meet your advanced workflows.

1

No video recording

Otter.ai captures only audio, making it less suitable for those who rely on visual cues for insights and analysis.

2

Lackluster AI-generated summaries

Its AI summaries lack depth, often missing out on key details and misattributing speakers, making them less reliable for professional use.

3

Very basic Conversation Intelligence

Its conversation intelligence is basic, lacking deeper insights like key topic detection, concept tracking, sentiment analysis, and talk pattern analysis.

4

Limited CRM and Dialer integration

Otter's CRM and Dialer integrations are very basic and lack 2-way field-level automatic sync for seamless experience.

5

Inferior transcription accuracy

The transcription falters with accents, jargon, and background noise, often leading to inaccuracies.

6

Limited multi-language support

It only supports real-time transcription in English, limiting its usefulness for teams or clients who speak other languages.

We value your time and energy, hence want to set the right expectations

The easiest to use, and offers an unrestricted 14-day free trial

Best for SMB and mid-market companies

The only product in the conversation intelligence space that offers AI-generated notes for your meetings and syncs to CRM (in addition to automatic meeting transcription)

When you want one tool for the entire organization but also not compromise on individual needs
