What 20 meetings a month really cost.
The subscription is the small part. The big cost is the time you spend turning a transcript into minutes or a report.
Covers 1,200 minutes, but only 10 uploaded files a month and 90 minutes per conversation — and English-family languages only.
Reading each transcript and writing the minutes or report yourself — roughly 30 minutes a meeting.
1,200 minutes — 20 hours — with translation, summary, chat and share links included.
Checking a finished document — roughly 5 minutes a meeting.
Estimate for 20 one-hour meetings a month. Your own time will vary with the type of document.
Don't take our word for it. Test both.
We publish an open accuracy test: the same recordings — English, Hindi, Marathi and mixed speech, in quiet rooms and noisy ones — run through every tool, with the word error rate for each.
Better still, run your own. Take one real recording, upload it to Otter.ai and to Intexting's free plan, and compare the results line by line.
Tested on 120+ hours of multi-accented and mixed-language business meetings. Intexting achieves 4× fewer transcription errors than Otter.ai on Indian-accented and multilingual speech.

Intexting vs Otter.ai: common questions.
Is Intexting a good Otter.ai alternative?
Yes, if your meetings happen in person or on the phone, or in languages other than English. Intexting supports 135+ languages including Hindi and Marathi, accepts audio files up to 1 GB, and gives you finished documents such as minutes and reports. If you mainly need a bot to join English video calls, Otter is the better fit.
Does Otter.ai support Hindi?
Otter’s pricing page lists transcription in six languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. Hindi and Marathi are not on that list. Intexting supports both, plus mixed Hindi-English speech.
Is Intexting cheaper than Otter?
On monthly billing, yes: Intexting Pro is $12 for 1,200 minutes against Otter Pro’s $16.99 list price for the same minutes. On yearly billing Otter’s list price is lower, but it limits Pro to 10 uploaded files a month.
Can I move my old Otter recordings to Intexting?
Yes. Export the audio from Otter and upload it to Intexting. Each file can be up to 1 GB, and you get a transcript, summary and finished document for each.
