Where it falls short	Otter changed plan limits and pricing multiple times in 2024-2025, drawing 'shrinkflation' complaints from long-time subscribers Struggles with heavy accents, crosstalk and technical jargon, generating labeled-but-garbled 'Speaker 1/2' transcripts Bot can join meetings and auto-email full transcripts to external participants who never agreed to being recorded	Free plan's 3-minute-per-recording cap makes it impractical for any real meeting or interview Widespread, serious complaints of deceptive billing: users report being charged the full annual fee after a short trial with no warning, and difficulty getting refunds Real-world user satisfaction is low - one review aggregator cites 3.39/5 from 402 reviews
