Our take
Pick Otter.ai if sales and CS teams who want notes without a dedicated notetaker. Pick Timing if mac users who will pay Professional $9/mo annual while they review a first 8h Activities timeline — then Expert at $11 when they need a second Mac + billing, not Connect $16 first unless they need MCP / team export. Skip Otter.ai if people who only need noise cancel (Krisp) or a self-hosted transcriber (OpenAI Whisper).
