Bluedot vs Otter.ai

Bluedot captures and transcribes online and in-person meetings, then creates summaries in more than 100 languages. It can record without a bot joining the call. Its built-in AI chat answers questions and finds insights across multiple meetings, while searchable transcripts and summaries can be shared by link, commented on, or clipped into highlights. Listed capture contexts include Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, phone calls, and in-person meetings. Capture is available through browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile apps. Bluedot also lists integrations such as Google Calendar, Drive, HubSpot, Notion, Outlook, Salesforce, Slack, Zapier, and Zoom. The free plan includes five meetings over the account’s lifetime; recordings can still be viewed and shared afterward. Paid plans start at $14/user/mo billed annually, and a three-day trial is listed. The Basic plan limits each recording to one hour. Bluedot says it encrypts data in transit and at rest and does not use customer data to train AI models.
