Otter.ai and MeetGeek serve distinct needs in the AI notetaker space. Otter.ai excels with its powerful in-app AI assistant and quick transcription processing, making it ideal for teams prioritizing fast, AI-driven meeting content analysis.

MeetGeek, however, stands out with superior customization options, extensive integrations, and detailed meeting analytics, better serving teams that use Slack and need comprehensive meeting performance tracking. While both tools handle basic transcription and note-taking, their strengths make them suitable for different use cases: Otter.ai for AI-focused quick analysis, and MeetGeek for detailed meeting insights and workflow integration.

Advantages of MeetGeek

MeetGeek is significantly better at customizable meeting insights
We found MeetGeek offers excellent customization for KPIs and meeting insights, allowing teams to track metrics like punctuality, overtime, and participant sentiment - features entirely absent in Otter.ai. This is particularly valuable for teams looking to improve meeting effectiveness and track engagement patterns over time.
MeetGeek has superior integration capabilities
MeetGeek offers significantly more integration options than Otter.ai, including project management tools like Asana and ClickUp, plus Zapier for custom workflows. This makes it much more versatile for teams using multiple tools in their tech stack.
MeetGeek offers better sharing capabilities

Unlike Otter.ai, MeetGeek allows users to share specific clips and snippets from meetings, which is crucial for teams needing to highlight key moments or share specific parts of discussions.

Advantages of Otter.ai

Otter.ai is significantly better at AI chat assistance
We found Otter.ai's in-app AI chat assistant to be surprisingly effective, providing comprehensive, nuanced answers with source citations for each point. Unlike MeetGeek, which only offers AI chat through Slack integration, Otter.ai's native AI assistant allows for seamless follow-up questions and detailed exploration of meeting content.
Otter.ai offers faster transcription processing

While testing both platforms, we found Otter.ai processes transcripts significantly faster than MeetGeek, which took 17 minutes to generate a transcript for a 33-minute meeting. This speed advantage is crucial for teams needing quick access to meeting content.

MeetGeek is best for

  • Businesses with moderate meeting volume (10-20 meetings per week) who need basic AI notetaking with extensive integrations
  • Who need customizable meeting KPIs and templates for tracking meeting effectiveness metrics like punctuality and overtime
  • And/or who use Slack and project management tools like Asana or ClickUp

Otter.ai is best for

  • Businesses with a low meeting volume (5-10 meetings per week) who need basic transcription and note-taking
  • Who need straightforward meeting summaries and action items without advanced customization
  • And/or who want basic integrations with common tools like Slack, Google Docs, and Salesforce

MeetGeek is less good for

  • Businesses with high meeting volume (20-50 meetings per week)
  • Who need advanced AI capabilities like in-app chat assistance and cross-meeting theme analysis
  • And/or who want advanced filtering capabilities and quick transcription processing

Otter.ai is less good for

  • Businesses with high meeting volume (20-50 meetings per week)
  • Who need highly accurate transcriptions for meetings with technical jargon or accented speakers
  • And/or who need advanced customization features like custom templates and editable meeting summaries

Stackfix Verdict
Functionality
4

Functionality

4/10

<p>It has most of the core notetaker functionality but lacks key features like an in-app AI assistant. If your team doesn’t use Slack, you'll need to rely on custom templates and sections instead. Additionally, there’s no advanced filtering, so you're limited to keyword search.</p>
6

Functionality

6/10

<p>Mostly only offers core AI notetaking functionality. Can record, transcribe meetings, has a mobile app, can upload your own audio/ video files for transcript. But can't record without a meeting bot, lacks analytics, lacks more customisability for meeting notes &amp; other advanced AI functionality. AI chat functionality is surprisingly strong and accurate.</p>
Ease of Use
4

Ease of Use

4/10

<p>The setup is quick and straightforward. However, if you'll be using AI summaries and notes frequently, you'll need to switch between Slack and the app, as it doesn’t have an in-built AI assistant. While custom templates can be created for summaries, you'll have to either regenerate the entire summary or copy/paste sections to add new ones from the AI assistant.</p>
7

Ease of Use

7/10

<p>Key workflows such as recording meetings, inviting the bot to meetings is generally intuitive and straightforward. You can see action items assigned to you at a glance. There are some unmarked elements / icons over the web app which will take a bit of getting used to. Some flows, such as organising meeting notes, aren't as user-friendly as they can be.</p>
Look and feel
6

Look and feel

6/10

<p>The user interface is generally clean, and navigation is easy. However, the meeting view feels a bit overcrowded, not making optimal use of available space, and requires scrolling through the highlights section, which is small (though this can be adjusted with three layout options). The summary, insight, and context pages are basic and could be improved for better readability and organisation.</p>
6

Look and feel

6/10

<p>Modern, clean and visually acceptable. Functional design, nothing spectacular. Page loads are acceptable (2-3 seconds).</p>
Customisability
7

Customisability

7/10

<p>MeetGeek offers excellent customisation for meeting notes, allowing you to create custom templates for summaries and set up KPIs with min-max values to capture insights during meetings. It also provides above-average control over which sections of the meeting notes are shared with participants, with options for internal, customer, or public views, as well as controls on whether the notes can be edited.</p><p><br></p><p>Additionally, there’s strong customisation of the bot, and email summaries can be tailored with your own branding and messages.</p>
4

Customisability

4/10

<p>You can freely edit transcripts and most of the meeting notes. Annoyingly, you're unable to edit meeting summary - there's only an option to regenerate it. You're also unable to customise sections of meeting notes or bring your custom templates.</p>
Ease of Setup

Ease of Setup

7/10

<p>Self-serve, no sales calls. Comes with predefined KPIs and guided input boxes for note templates. Basic setup takes&nbsp;10-15 minutes. Workflows require Zapier but lack a rich library of Zapier templates, taking&nbsp;1-2 hours. Requires Chrome extension.</p>

Ease of Setup

Customer Support

<p>Has a help centre and an AI-powered chatbot that answers questions about the platform, with an option to speak to a human agent during their business hours.</p>

Customer Support

4/10

<p>Otter has an AI chatbot on their site. However, you'll have to submit a ticket to get in touch with support. When testing on the free tier, we found ourselves hanging for several days without a reply.</p>
Integratability
7

Integratability

7/10

<p>Integrates with most major software and features an in-built workflow creator, allowing you to automatically share meetings and highlights with an optional "name contains ____" filter to send them to your selected integration.</p>
3

Integratability

3/10

<p>Otter.ai only offers a handful of integrations with the most popular 3rd party tools e.g. Slack, Google Docs, Salesforce, Pipedrive. It lacks any integrations with project management tools or applicant tracking system, It also lacks an API for custom integrations.</p>
Ease of Migration

Ease of Migration

<p>Meetings can be shared via email or link, with access controls on the link. Clips and highlights can also be created and shared.</p><p><br></p><p>Captions can be downloaded in .srt format, the transcript in .docx or .xlsx, and the video in .mp4 format.</p>
