O Otter.ai Black Friday 2026 deal
Not announced Not announced as of Monday, November 9, 2026. Otter.ai has not run a Black Friday sale on Otter.ai that we can find, and nothing on its site points to one for 2026 yet.
- Status
- Not announced
- Free plan
- Yes. Basic is free with 300 monthly transcription minutes, live transcription, AI chat and 3 lifetime audio or video file imports.
No Black Friday or Cyber Monday offer on otter.ai/pricing or @otter_ai on 2026-11-09. The pricing page does run a non-seasonal Business promotion (20% off for 3 months, code BIZ20OFF3MTH_OT26). A Reddit comment and coupon sites claim past Cyber Monday sales on Pro; we found none on Otter's site or official accounts, so they are not recorded as history.
Best for
Individuals and small teams who sit in several recorded calls a week and want searchable transcripts and summaries without taking notes.
Watch out for
The 51% saving only applies if you commit to a year up front, and Pro still caps each meeting at 90 minutes and imports at 10 files a month.
We do not expect a Black Friday price cut from Otter. It has not posted one on its site or its X account in the years we have checked, and its pricing already leans hard on annual billing, which halves the Pro price. Otter does run promotions, just not on the shopping calendar: the pricing page currently offers 20% off Business for three months, a back-to-school campaign on its blog gave students 50% off (now ended), and a May 2026 post offered 20% off Pro Annual for a sea otter charity tie-in. A short promotion around late November is possible, but there is no pattern that says it will happen, and the standing annual price is lower than most of those promotions.

As shown on otter.ai on Monday, November 9, 2026. Prices can vary by region and currency.
Choose annual billing: Pro falls from $16.99 to $8.33 a month and Business from $30 to $19.99 per user. If you have a .edu email address, the student and teacher rate is $79.99 a year for Pro, applied from the Upgrade plan screen via the Student and Teacher Discount link while signed in with that address. Teams that want monthly billing can take the current Business promotion, which shows $24 a user for the first three months. And if you only record a few meetings a month, the free Basic plan's 300 minutes may be all you need.
Past Otter.ai Black Friday offers
We have no record of a Black Friday or Cyber Monday offer from Otter.ai on Otter.ai.
Pro or Business: where the annual saving lands
Otter's two self-serve paid plans are priced very differently month to month, and the gap narrows on annual billing. Pro suits one person: 1,200 recording minutes a month and meetings up to 90 minutes. Business removes the minutes cap, allows meetings up to 4 hours, lets the notetaker join 3 meetings at once and adds admin features.
- Pro: $16.99 monthly, or $8.33 a month on annual billing.
- Business: $30 monthly (currently $24 for the first 3 months), or $19.99 a month on annual billing.
If any of your calls run past 90 minutes, Pro will cut them off, so a cheaper Pro year is a false saving. Check your longest regular meeting before you choose.
What the free Basic plan covers before you pay
Basic is a working plan rather than a trial: the notetaker joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, transcribes live, identifies speakers and lets you chat with the AI about your meetings, within 300 transcription minutes a month. The limit most people hit first is imports: Basic allows only 3 audio or video file uploads in the lifetime of the account, against 10 a month on Pro and an unlimited number on Business.
So if you mainly record live calls, Basic can last a while. If you want to transcribe interviews, lectures or podcasts you recorded elsewhere, plan on Pro from the start, and take it annually.
Third-party Otter coupons and what we could confirm
Coupon sites list Otter codes for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and one widely shared Reddit comment describes an earlier holiday price on Pro. We could not find any of these on Otter's pricing page or its official X account, so we have not recorded them as past deals. The promotions we could confirm on Otter's own channels were the student back-to-school offer, the May sea otter promotion and the Business offer running now.
If you are weighing Otter against a tool that may discount this month, we also track Descript, which transcribes recordings and edits them, and Notion AI, which takes meeting notes inside a workspace.
