What our research says

Aigenda

AiGenda's integration with Telemost alongside Zoom and Google Meet makes it one of the few meeting-notetaker tools built for the Russian conferencing ecosystem specifically, with pricing and support to match. The stated accuracy and turnaround figures are vendor claims rather than independently benchmarked results. Its ruble-only pricing and Russia-specific integrations make it a poor fit outside that market even though the core transcription feature set is comparable to Western competitors.

Pros

  • Free tier with 150 minutes/month before any payment
  • Supports Telemost alongside Zoom and Google Meet, unusual among meeting-note tools
  • Speaker identification with timecodes and an editable transcript on paid tiers
  • State accreditation and a named legal entity, more transparent than many small competitors

Cons

  • Pricing and payment are in rubles, adding currency-conversion friction outside Russia
  • Accuracy and turnaround figures are vendor-stated, not independently verified
  • Language support tops out around ten languages, fewer than larger global competitors

Otter.ai

Still the default for English-language meeting notes, and the free tier is unusually usable. What determines the right plan is not features but the per-conversation ceiling: 30 minutes on Basic and 90 on Pro means a standard hour-long review truncates on the free tier and a workshop truncates on Pro. Pick the tier by your longest recurring meeting.

Pros

  • 300 free minutes a month makes evaluation real rather than token
  • Annual Pro at $8.33 is roughly half the month-to-month rate
  • An MCP server is exposed from the free tier, so assistants can query transcripts without the paid API
  • Business removes the minute cap entirely rather than raising it

Cons

  • The API and webhooks require Enterprise, which is quote-only
  • Per-conversation ceilings (30 min free, 90 min Pro) cut recordings mid-meeting
  • Basic allows three file imports in total, not per month
  • Month-to-month pricing is roughly double annual at both self-serve tiers

Which one fits

Choose Aigenda if you need

  • Teams meeting primarily in Russian using Zoom, Google Meet, or Telemost
  • Users wanting results shared directly through a Telegram bot

Choose Otter.ai if you need

  • Teams that live in Zoom, Meet or Teams and want notes without a note-taker
  • Accessibility use, where live captions matter as much as the transcript
  • Recruiters and researchers who need searchable interview records across a workspace
