SpiikWhy Spiik comes out ahead
You stop counting minutes
Otter Pro shares 1,200 minutes a month across all transcription, and stops each conversation at 90 minutes. A full-time student with four lectures a day, or a consultant in back-to-back interviews, can run through that. Spiik Pro has no monthly cap and handles up to 2.5 hours per recording, or any length on a Mac with local transcription.

Half the cost, without giving up the essentials
Spiik Pro is $49.99 a year and Otter Pro is $99.99. Both give you live transcription, speaker labels and AI chat with your recordings. Spiik also exports subtitles in both SRT and VTT.
Built for more than meetings
Otter is focused on work meetings. Spiik covers those too, and it also turns any recording into structured notes, a quiz, flashcards or a mind map. That makes one app useful for lectures, interviews and voice notes as well.
Far more languages
Otter transcribes in six languages, with German and Chinese still in beta. Spiik transcribes and translates in more than 100, including Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Korean and Portuguese.
Nothing joins your call
Otter's headline meeting feature is an assistant that joins Zoom, Teams and Google Meet. Spiik records from your own device. On a Mac it can capture your microphone and system audio, so there is no extra participant on the call.
When Otter could make sense
Otter can make sense if you need Android or Windows, a shared team workspace, or an assistant that joins calls from your calendar. Its free plan is also more generous for light use. Spiik's free version is mainly a way to try the app, and its 7-day Pro trial is where you see all of it.
