GetNotes vs Notta: which fits your meetings?
Notta's real speciality is watching a Japanese-English meeting translate itself on screen as it happens — a different problem from writing up the room afterwards.
Side by side
Languages
Notta: 58 transcription languages with real-time translation, as of July 2026.
GetNotes: 99 transcription languages, with meetings that switch between two of them mid-sentence handled as one transcript. No live translation.
What you need to bring
Notta: A bot invited to the call, a mobile app, or the Notta Memo hardware recorder, depending on the meeting.
GetNotes: A phone with a browser. Nothing to install, invite, buy or charge.
Free tier
Notta: Reported at 120 transcription minutes a month with a three-minute ceiling per file or meeting and around ten AI summaries — figures from secondary sources, so verify.
GetNotes: One free meeting of up to 30 minutes, full transcript and full minutes, no card required.
Entry paid plan
Notta: Pro reported around $13.99 billed monthly, or $8.17 a month annually, with 1,800 minutes a month and up to 5 hours per recording. Not confirmed on the official page as of July 2026.
GetNotes: $19 a month billed monthly, unlimited meetings, up to 3 hours per recording, fair-use 25 hours of audio a month.
Where Notta is the better pick
Pick Notta if your meetings are bilingual in the moment — a Tokyo supplier call where one side needs Japanese on screen and the other English, as it happens. Live translation is the thing GetNotes does not do, and Notta's longer per-recording ceiling on its paid plan also suits people who routinely run sessions past three hours.
Comparison based on publicly available information, checked July 2026. Products change — check their site for current details.
Notta is the most bilingual-minded product in this comparison. It transcribes 58 languages with real-time translation running alongside, which is why it is strongest in the Japanese and Chinese markets: a meeting held in one language and read in another, live, is a specific and well-served use case. It also has a fuller hardware and mobile story than most, including iOS and Android apps that record in person and a standalone handheld recorder, the Notta Memo.
Its bot joins Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and Webex, either automatically from a calendar or by manual invite, and speakers can be tagged mid-meeting rather than after the fact. GetNotes takes none of those routes. There is no bot, no desktop client and no hardware to buy or charge — the phone already in the room is the recorder, and the browser is the whole application.
Notta's public plan details are harder to pin down than most: as of July 2026 its pricing page resists inspection and the widely reported figures — Pro around $13.99 a month, or $8.17 billed annually, with a free tier limited to 120 minutes a month and roughly three minutes per file — come from secondary sources. Treat them as indicative and check on the day. GetNotes is simpler to state: free first meeting up to 30 minutes, then $19 a month.
Where it earns its keep
A trial you cut short at three minutes
Notta's free tier is reported to cap each file or meeting at around three minutes, which is enough to test the interface and not enough to test a meeting. GetNotes gives one free meeting of up to 30 minutes with the complete transcript, speaker labels and finished minutes, so you evaluate it on a real conversation rather than a fragment.
A team that will not carry another device
The Notta Memo is a nice object, but it is one more thing to charge, remember and lose before a site visit. GetNotes runs in the browser on the phone everyone already carries, on iOS or Android, with no app install and nothing to provision — which matters when the person recording is a contractor rather than an employee.
A meeting in a language Notta does not list
Notta covers 58 languages, strong in East Asia. If your board meets in Urdu, or your field interviews run in a regional language outside that list, the coverage gap decides it. GetNotes transcribes 99 languages and keeps the transcript coherent when a speaker drops an English clause into an Urdu sentence.
How GetNotes works
- Record or upload. Hit record on your phone or laptop in the room — or drop in an audio file you already have. No bot joins anything.
- It writes it down. Every word transcribed, every speaker labelled, in 90+ languages including ones that switch mid-sentence.
- Share the minutes.Summary, decisions, and action items with owners — ready before everyone's back at their desk.
Questions, answered
Does GetNotes translate meetings in real time like Notta?
No. Real-time translation alongside transcription is Notta's clearest strength, and GetNotes does not offer it. GetNotes transcribes the meeting in the language it was spoken — across 99 languages, including mid-sentence switches — and then Claude writes the minutes. If you need one side of the table reading a live translation, Notta is the better fit.
How reliable are Notta's published prices?
Less reliable than most in this comparison. As of July 2026 Notta's pricing page could not be verified directly, so the figures quoted here — Pro around $13.99 a month, or $8.17 billed annually — come from secondary sources and should be checked before you buy. GetNotes is flat and easy to confirm: $19 a month billed monthly.
Do I need a separate recorder like the Notta Memo with GetNotes?
No. GetNotes runs entirely in the mobile or desktop browser, so the phone in your pocket is the recording device — no app download, no hardware, no calendar connection. Put the phone on the table, press record, and you get a speaker-labelled transcript plus minutes with decisions and action items when the meeting ends.
Which handles a mixed-language meeting better?
It depends what you mean by handle. Notta is built to translate between languages live, across 58 of them. GetNotes is built to transcribe a room where people code-switch mid-sentence without splitting it into two documents, across 99 languages including Urdu, Hindi and Arabic, and to write the minutes from that single mixed transcript.
