Transcrib Si vs Notta
Notta is a meeting assistant with the strongest compliance story in this comparison — ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II — a hardware recorder, and a Pro plan at $8.17 a month paid yearly. Transcrib Si is a transcription service and an API for Russian and English speech, with no bot in your calls and no hardware.

Where Notta is better
- Compliance. ISO/IEC 27001 certification and a completed SOC 2 Type II examination, stated on its own site. We do not claim either.
- The hardware. The Notta Memo recorder is a product we do not have and are not planning.
- Scale. 16M+ users and 5,000+ enterprise customers, founded in 2020 and based in Tokyo.
- Languages and formats. 58+ languages for uploaded files, 16 audio and video formats, and exports to TXT, DOCX, XLSX, PDF, SRT and VTT.
- Price. Pro at $8.17 a month paid yearly and Business at $16.67 per user per month, with 40% off yearly and 50% off for education.
Where Transcrib Si is better
- Russian first. Our engine is built for Russian speech and for the Russian-English mix, and that mix is the normal case in Russian offices.
- No bot, no hardware. You upload a file you already have. Nothing is recorded on your behalf and there is nothing to charge for.
- Agent access. REST API, MCP server with 4 tools, and plugins for Claude and ChatGPT.
- Where your data goes. We publish it: our own engine on infrastructure outside the United States, a US cloud provider for pure English when that fallback is enabled, no training on your audio, no selling. The full text is in the privacy policy.
- Machine-readable facts. Prices, limits and formats in
llms.txt,llms-full.txtand JSON-LD offers.
Who should pick which
- Pick Notta if you need a certified compliance posture, a meeting bot, or the hardware recorder.
- Pick Transcrib Si if your work is in Russian, if you want the text in your own pipeline, or if you would rather nothing was recorded unless you press the button.
- Pick either if a free plan decides it — both have one, and both count in minutes.

Questions this page answers.
Is Transcrib Si cheaper than Notta?
Per seat, slightly: our Pro is $10 a month paid yearly ($120 a year) or $20 a month, against Notta's Pro at $8.17 a month paid yearly. The bigger difference is what the plan gives: ours is a stated 1,500 minutes of audio per calendar month, and Notta's Business plan is priced per user with unlimited minutes. Compare them on the number of people and the number of hours, not on the headline price.
Does Notta record meetings automatically?
Yes: a Notta bot can join Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex, and the Notta desktop app can capture system audio. We do neither — you upload a file you already have.
What about compliance?
Notta states ISO/IEC 27001 certification and a completed SOC 2 Type II examination. We do not claim either, and we do not publish an accuracy number either. What we do publish is the privacy policy: which files are processed where, which third party sees a pure-English file, and how long anything is kept.
Does Notta support Russian?
Its own site lists a Russian interface and 58+ transcription languages. Our claim is narrower and different: our engine is tuned for Russian speech and mixed Russian-English conversation. We do not publish an accuracy percentage, so ask either service for the evaluation report and the sample set.
Can I use Transcrib Si inside Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes — a plugin for each, both going through the same MCP server: transcribe_audio, summarize_transcript, extract_actions and list_transcripts.
