Why Choose YouTubeTranscriptAI for YouTube?
Built for YouTube
We're optimized specifically for YouTube. Native URL support, playlist processing, channel analysis—features Otter doesn't offer.
Channel Chat
Ask questions about any YouTube channel and get AI answers with timestamps. A unique feature not available in Otter.
Bulk Processing
Process entire channels or playlists at once. Extract thousands of transcripts in minutes, not hours.
Free Tier
Get 20 free transcripts per month. Otter's free tier is limited and focused on meetings, not video content.
The Verdict
Choose Otter.ai if you primarily need live meeting transcription, Zoom/Teams integration, and real-time collaboration features.
Choose YouTubeTranscriptAI if you work with YouTube content—extracting transcripts, processing channels, repurposing video content, or researching creators.
