NOTTA VS LONGSCRIBE · OCTOBER 12, 2026
Choose LongScribe when you already have an eligible authorized file or supported accessible public link and need a transcript/SRT. Choose Notta for its live-meeting capture, web/mobile workflow and speaker-aware notes. Both publish a Free tier, with different constraints.
Notta Free publishes 120 minutes/month, but caps each transcription at 3 minutes per conversation, even when monthly time is available. It lists up to 50 file uploads and 10 AI summaries/month. That is not 120 minutes for one interview.
Eligible signed-in LongScribe Free includes 60 minutes across 20 recordings/month, subject to per-job, duration, source and upload limits. A no-account demo may provide only a preview. Premium is $4.99/month with 5,000 minutes across 500 recordings/month.
Notta Pro shows 1,800 minutes/month, up to 5 hours per recording, for $8.17/month equivalent on annual billing ($97.99 charged upfront). It advertises transcript exports and meeting integrations. A 45-minute saved interview exceeds Notta Free's 3-minute job cap; compare eligible LongScribe job limits before choosing a plan.

Notta Free allows 120 minutes total per month but caps each conversation at 3 minutes. A longer meeting cannot be fully transcribed as one Free recording on that tier. This is independent of the account's remaining monthly minutes.
Eligible signed-in LongScribe Free provides 60 minutes across 20 recordings each month, with duration, file size, access and processing limits. The anonymous demo has separate preview restrictions. Check job eligibility instead of assuming the whole monthly quota can be spent on one file.
Notta offers meeting capture and mobile/web tools. Its Pro plan increases per-job duration to 5 hours and includes more minutes; Business adds team collaboration and administration. LongScribe's public subscriptions do not promise a live bot or an organization-managed shared workspace.
Use Notta when live-meeting capture, mobile workflows or team administration matter. Use LongScribe for an eligible existing file or supported public recording link and exportable editable text or SRT. Review accuracy and consent for every recording.
Yes, but each Free transcription is limited to 3 minutes per conversation. Monthly allowance and single-recording eligibility are different.
