Otter.ai has been charging accounts $30/month without sending receipts or billing notifications. Users canceled immediately yet charges continued. Some selected monthly but were billed for the whole year without receiving responses to refund requests. 'Shrinkflation' gives fewer minutes for the same price.
Users report confusing cancellation steps and frustration with free trials that didn't allow full meeting recordings. Others report billing problems and unexpected charges. Some selected monthly plans but were billed annually with no response to refund requests.
The free plan comes with only 300 minutes per month, 30-minute max per conversation, and just three file uploads for life. This is where most Reddit frustration originates. No OtterPilot auto-join on free tier means manual recording, and no team sharing features.
Many users have pointed out 'shrinkflation' where they get fewer minutes for the same price they used to pay. Having to track usage and stay within transcription minute limits adds unnecessary stress to workflow. Heavy usage months can lead to surprise costs or getting cut off.
