Notta vs EchoPilot

Notta and EchoPilot record in many of the same places: a phone, a watch, a Mac or a Windows machine, and the web. The difference is in what happens around the recording: how much of a meeting the free plan keeps, whether anything ever joins the call, what you can check afterwards, and whether the meeting ends as a list or as work already filed.

A free plan that records the meeting

Notta’s own pricing page caps a Free recording at three minutes a conversation, within 120 minutes a month. EchoPilot’s Free plan records up to an hour in one go and includes 300 meeting minutes in your first 30 days, then 120 every 30 days, so the meeting you try it on is recorded from start to finish and written up in full. The pricing page has every limit, read from the product.

No bot in the call, ever

Notta offers a bot that joins your call, and a bot-free desktop app. EchoPilot has only the second kind. The Mac and Windows apps record your microphone and the audio your computer is playing, from the menu bar or the tray. On a phone or an Apple Watch, the recorder is simply the device in the room.

What comes back, and whether you can check it

Meeting Minutes come back as a titled document with a summary, chaptered timestamped notes, key points anchored to the moment they came from, action items and the full transcript. Tap any point and the recording plays from the sentence that produced it. Search the transcript with match stepping, rename or merge speaker turns on supported Pro meetings, and correct a misheard line while the original audio and text stay underneath as evidence.

Every meeting you record is written up in full. There is no separate monthly count of AI summaries to watch alongside your recording minutes.

Ask answers questions across one meeting, a series, or everything you have recorded, and cites the moment it used so a wrong answer is one tap from being caught. It is read-only: it never creates, edits or sends anything.

The follow-up is the product

An action item inside a summary is still work. Someone has to read it, decide where it belongs, and put it there.

EchoPilot drafts a card for each commitment with the destination already chosen, and then stops. Todoist, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Apple Reminders, Notion, Slack, Google and Outlook calendars, Drive, OneDrive, Teams, Mail. You read the card, correct the destination if the guess was wrong, and confirm. Nothing is created before that, and there is no setting to turn the review off. Notta’s published pages describe integrations with Slack, Notion, CRMs and Zapier without describing a per-item approval step, so the table says “Not stated” rather than asserting an absence. The action cards page shows one for every destination.

One person, one price

Notta’s Pro plan is $13.99 a month, or $8.17 a month billed annually, and its Business plan is priced per seat. EchoPilot is $11.99 a month, or $89 a year, for one person, and that single subscription covers the iPhone app, Android, the Apple Watch companion, the Mac and Windows capture apps and the web app.
