How they stack up

Both record video calls, transcribe them and push summaries into CRM and Slack. Avoma leads on retention, video quality, clips and revenue analytics. Otter leads on in-person capture and on where notes can land — storage and docs tools Avoma's directory omits. MeetGeek is worth considering as an alternative.

Recording

Ways to capture meetings

Meeting assistants should fit naturally into your workflow. Whether you prefer automatic recording, bot participation, or manual uploads, meeting capture should require minimal effort.

Meeting Bot

Joins calls automatically via calendar sync. Lowest friction for Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

As Your Team Scales, Consider

Recording a meeting is only the first step. Over time, organizations often realize that the real value lies in how meeting knowledge is captured, shared, and reused—helping teams stay aligned long after the conversation ends.

AI Capabilities

What happens after the recording

Both summarise, extract actions and chat over the archive. Otter adds AI agents and mobile in-person capture; Avoma adds objection and competitor detection plus MEDDIC-style scoring. Avoma's sales AI is an add-on purchase, not a plan feature.

AvomaOtter.ai
AvomaAvoma

Avoma scopes its AI to revenue work. Real-time guidance flags objections, competitor mentions and qualification gaps mid-call, scorecards grade against MEDDIC, BANT and SPICED, and Ask Avoma answers across meetings, CRM and email. Most of that depth is bought separately: the Conversation Intelligence and Revenue Intelligence add-ons cost $29 per seat per month each billed annually, on top of the base seat.

Otter.aiOtter.ai

Otter's AI centres on retrieving and reusing what was said: automatic summaries, cross-meeting search, speaker identification, live in-transcript chat and AI agents that act on the meeting archive. It reaches beyond the call too, recording face-to-face conversations on mobile and uploading them once a connection returns, so the searchable record is not limited to scheduled video calls.

Integrations

The Best Integrations Do More Than Connect Apps

The number of integrations tells part of the story. The real value comes from how effectively meeting insights move between tools, workflows, and teams.

Beyond the Integration List

API Access
If your team uses custom tools or internal dashboards, the API lets you pull meeting data — transcripts, summaries, action items — exactly where you need it.
MCP Support
A newer standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor read your meeting data directly. No developer needed.
AvomaAvoma
Revenue Stack Depth
26 live integrations across four categories, weighted to selling: nine dialers including RingCentral, Aircall, Dialpad and Zoom Phone, eight conferencing tools, six CRMs and three collaboration apps. A REST API, developer platform and MCP server open up from Organization. Built for teams whose calls start in a dialer.
Otter.aiOtter.ai
Breadth of Destinations
35 entries on Otter's own directory, and the categories tell the story: seven cloud-storage targets including S3, SharePoint and Snowflake, five project-management tools, four CRMs, plus Claude and Glean. Zapier covers the rest. The count includes Otter's own mobile, desktop and browser apps.
MeetGeek
Automation
Uses a REST API with webhooks — data flows into your tools the moment a call ends. MCP Server connects meeting data directly to models like ChatGPT, Claude, or your own AI. Better suited for real-time automation and broader AI workflow integration.Explore MeetGeek

Decision Checklist

A quick gut-check before you commit

AvomaChoose Avoma if…
✓Your reps sell over the phone and you want those calls recorded, transcribed and scored — Avoma captures through RingCentral, Aircall, Dialpad, Zoom Phone and five other dialers
✓You need to keep the video, not only the transcript, and want to cut shareable snippets out of a call on any plan
✓Most of your seats only need to watch and comment — Avoma bills recorder seats at $19 per seat per month billed annually ($29 monthly) and leaves viewers unlimited and free
✓You want per-rep analytics across meetings, available from Avoma's Organization plan rather than assembled by hand
Otter.aiChoose Otter.ai if…
✓Your meeting notes have to land in SharePoint, Google Drive, Snowflake or a project tracker, which Otter reaches from its Business plan
✓You want to start at zero cost and only pay when the team commits — Otter's Basic plan is free, and its Business tier at $19.99 per seat per month billed annually offers a trial
Compare with MeetGeek

One More Comparison Before You Decide

Between these two you are choosing which gap to accept: Otter's breadth of destinations without a video library or per-rep analytics, or Avoma's revenue depth sold as three separate per-seat add-ons. MeetGeek gives you both sides in one plan — transcription in 100+ languages, HD video from Business, a choice of EU or US data residency, and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

FAQ

The questions procurement asks.

Otter, on entry price. Its Basic plan is free and Pro is $8.33 per seat per month billed annually ($16.99 monthly), with Business at $19.99 billed annually ($30 monthly). Avoma has no free tier and starts at $19 per recording seat per month billed annually ($29 monthly). But Avoma bills only seats that record — viewers, listeners and collaborators are unlimited and free on every plan — so a team where a handful of reps record and everyone else reads can land closer than the headline suggests.
