Otter.ai Cuts Pro Transcription from 6,000 to 1,200 Minutes a Month
Before
Pro: 6,000 minutes/month
After
Pro: 1,200 minutes/month (same price)
What changed
Otter.ai cut the monthly transcription allowance on its Pro plan by 80%, from 6,000 to 1,200 minutes per user, without lowering the price. Pro is still $8.33/mo billed yearly ($16.99 monthly).
Correction (September 27, 2026): an earlier version of this page said the cut applied to the free plan. It applies to Pro. The free Basic plan has 300 minutes a month.
Current limits
| Plan | Price | Minutes per month | Max per conversation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (free) | $0 | 300 | 30 min |
| Pro | $8.33/mo yearly ($16.99 monthly) | 1,200 (was 6,000) | 90 min |
| Business | $19.99/user/mo yearly ($30 monthly) | Unlimited | 4 hours |
What this means for you
1,200 minutes is about 20 hours of meetings a month. That's enough for most individuals, but a real cut if you're on long calls every day. Heavy users should compare Otter Business (unlimited) with alternatives.
