Quick Verdict
Pick the use case that matches you
The right meeting assistant depends on how your team works. Explore the use case that best matches your needs.
Otter.aiBest for teams who want a durable, searchable record of every meeting.Otter.ai is a meeting assistant built around transcription and a searchable archive: it records and transcribes meetings, writes summaries and action items, and answers questions across past conversations with AI Chat.
TactiqBest when nothing may join the call — live in-tab transcription with no recording of the meeting.Tactiq is a bot-free AI notetaker: a Chrome extension and Edge add-on that transcribes Google Meet, Zoom and Teams from the browser tab, then turns transcripts into summaries, tasks and shared notes.
Best for Teams that need the recording kept
Otter.aiBest for People who want notes without a recording
TactiqWorth Exploring Alternatives
Capture that reaches past the tab and the archive
One keeps the audio, the other never records the call — neither turns a finished meeting into automated work on its own.Comparing plansvs
How they stack up
Otter wins on holding the meeting: recorded audio, mobile and in-person capture, notetaker controls and a searchable archive. Tactiq wins on lightness and entry price — an extension install, no stored media, and a lower published seat price.

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 answer questions across past meetings and write summaries. Otter meters AI Chat by plan; Tactiq meters AI by credit allowance — 5 a month on Free, 10 on Pro, unlimited from Team — so heavy users on either tool should check the ceiling before committing.
Otter.aiOtter summarises, extracts action items and answers questions across the archive with AI Chat, metered by plan at 20 to 200 queries per user each month. Sales-oriented workflows arrive on higher tiers as fixed flows rather than user-authored automations.
TactiqTactiq is prompt-led and genuinely capable: Ask Tactiq AI works across stored transcripts, AI Kits store reusable prompt sets, and a workflow builder chains steps into Slack, Notion and HubSpot on every plan. AI credits meter how much runs — 5 a month on Free, 10 on Pro, unlimited from Team.

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.
See How MeetGeek ComparesWorkflow ContinuityMeeting insights flow directly into the tools where work happens, helping teams reduce manual follow-ups and keep projects moving.
Shared VisibilityImportant discussions, decisions, and action items remain accessible to the people who need them—even if they weren't in the meeting.
Long-Term ValueMeeting knowledge stays connected to ongoing projects and workflows, making conversations useful long after the meeting ends.
What it connects to
Integrations help meeting insights flow into the tools your team already uses, from CRMs and project management platforms to collaboration and documentation tools.

Decision Checklist
A quick gut-check before you commit
Choose Otter.ai if…✓You need the audio kept and searchable months later, not just the transcript
✓People join from phones or meet in a room — Otter captures on mobile and in person
✓You want a notetaker that attends when the organiser cannot — and, from the Enterprise plan, under a name you set
Choose Tactiq if…✓Nothing may appear in the participant list, and no audio or video should be retained at all
✓You want to pull every transcript out in bulk from day one rather than at a business tier
✓You want setup measured in seconds — an extension install rather than a notetaker to configure
Compare with MeetGeek
One More Comparison Before You Decide
Otter keeps the archive but meters its chat; Tactiq never records the call and rations AI credits until its Team plan. MeetGeek does both ends without the meter — capture with or without a bot, in person and on mobile, transcription in 100+ languages, and Meeting Skills that fire on a schedule or trigger — on a published plan that starts free.
MeetGeek vs Otter.ai: Automation Without MeteringOtter's AI Chat is metered at 20 to 200 queries per user each month. MeetGeek runs Meeting Skills on a schedule or trigger with no credit meter, and transcribes 100+ languages on every plan.See the full comparison →
MeetGeek vs Tactiq: Past the Browser TabTactiq transcribes from the tab and keeps the text. MeetGeek records the meeting itself, captures in person and on mobile, and runs Meeting Skills without an AI-credit allowance.See the full comparison →
FAQ
The questions procurement asks.
No. Tactiq transcribes live from the browser tab and keeps the transcript — its pricing grid carries no audio or video storage row. Otter records the meeting and stores the audio, which is what makes replay and a durable searchable archive possible.
