AI transcription comparison: price, features, languages, and use cases
VOCAP is cheaper (from 1 EUR/h, no subscription), has much better Spanish support, and is GDPR compliant as a European company. Otter.ai is still better if you need a live bot that joins your Zoom/Teams meetings in real time, primarily in English, and work in the US.
Professionals recording meetings, calls, or interviews who want auto-generated summaries and action items without monthly fees.
US-based teams that need a bot to automatically join Zoom/Meet/Teams meetings and transcribe live in English.

Yes. You can cancel Otter.ai anytime from their dashboard. VOCAP has no subscription: you buy a credit pack once (from 1.99 EUR) and use the hours whenever you want, with no recurring fees.
In English, both use comparable engines (95-98% on clean audio). In Spanish and Latin American variants, VOCAP is specifically optimized and tends to be noticeably more accurate.
We do not charge per subscription or per user — only for hours actually transcribed. No expensive sales team or features you do not use. The Claude (Anthropic) analysis is included free with every transcription.
Not today. VOCAP transcribes the recording after you download it from Zoom/Meet/Teams (an MP4 or M4A file is enough). If you specifically need a live bot, Otter.ai is the better choice for that use case.
It is automatically deleted from the server as soon as processing finishes. Only the transcribed text is kept in your account. We are GDPR compliant as an EU-based (Spain) company.
