Why people look past audien.to

It works on recordings you upload, not live calls, so you need a way to record interviews first and to get candidate consent where the law requires it. There are no ATS or calendar integrations and no API, and it is a general-purpose tool with no recruiting scorecards or interview templates.

What we noted

  • Upload only, no live meeting capture
  • No ATS or calendar integrations
  • No recruiting-specific templates

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that want live notes and auto-joined meetings
  • ATS writeback of interview notes and scorecards
  • Teams that need an API or integrations

Worth keeping in mind: It skips the prompt step: you pick minutes, an email recap or notes and get the finished piece rather than a raw transcript to paste into ChatGPT. Nothing joins your calls, the free tier needs no signup and is generous at 90 minutes a day, and files delete themselves after 72 hours.

What each one does differently

Otter

$8.33/user/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Live AI meeting notes that join Zoom, Teams and Meet, with a free plan and paid plans from $8.33 a user a month.

Stands out: Otter's transcript builds live during the call, so you can scroll back mid interview, and the free Basic plan gives 300 minutes a month without a card.

Watch out: Otter does not write notes into an ATS. Pro caps transcription at 1,200 minutes a month and 90 minutes a meeting, and SSO needs a 100 user Enterprise licence.

Best for

  • Recruiters who want a free note taker for screening calls
  • Small teams on Zoom, Teams or Meet
  • People who want to read the transcript while the call is still running

Fireflies

$10/seat/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: Meeting bot note taker with unlimited free transcription in 100+ languages and an API on every plan, from $10 a seat a month.

Stands out: Fireflies transcribes in more than 100 languages and includes API access even on the free plan, which suits multilingual desks and teams that want to pipe transcripts elsewhere.

Watch out: The free plan limits AI summaries and stores only 400 minutes per team. There is no ATS writeback, and conversation intelligence and multi-language mode sit on Business.

Best for

  • Recruiters who interview in more than one language
  • Teams that want transcripts pushed to other tools through the API
  • Agencies that also record client and sales calls

Noota

$19/user/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: Note taker built for interviews and in person meetings with ATS integrations and a hiring agent, from $19 a user a month.

Stands out: Noota records without a bot on every plan, covers phone calls with your own number as well as video interviews, and connects to ATS and CRM tools from Pro.

Watch out: Pro caps transcription at 1,000 minutes a month and a 10 seat workspace. The Hiring Agent is a separate $199/user/mo plan, and EU data centre hosting is on Hiring Agent and Enterprise only.

Best for

  • Recruiters who screen by phone as well as video
  • Agencies that want interview reports pushed to an ATS
  • Teams that interview in person and want notes from a phone
