The verdict

Otter.ai wins, 6.4 to 5.6

Otter has a free Basic plan, and so does Supernormal, with no cost either way to start. Otter connects to 15 integrations against Supernormal's 5, and tracks talk time, a feature Supernormal does not have. Supernormal does not notify meeting participants that it is recording. Both transcribe a similar range of languages, Otter's 6 against Supernormal's 7, and both offer an API.

Pick Otter.ai if you want talk time tracking and more integrations to connect.

Pick Supernormal if you want a notetaker that stays free with no credit card.
