Notta scorecard

How we grade

B+ 82/100

Overall grade

A credible, well-funded transcription player with strong value and broad language support, held back by a weak Trustpilot reputation and unverifiable security and customer claims.

Idea A- Transcription plus AI notetaking is a proven, large category.

Brand B Recognized in APAC with a growing US presence, though weak Trustpilot reputation drags it.

Product B+ A solid multi-platform product with 58 languages and a novel hardware angle (Memo).

Market fit A- 10M+ users and real revenue across a dual hardware and SaaS model.

Adoption A- A strong user base with funding momentum into 2026.

Features B+ Broad transcription, summary, and translation; trails leaders on deep CRM and workflow integrations.

Security B Reports an independently audited SOC 2 Type II and GDPR; ISO 27001 and HIPAA are guideline-level claims, and data controls are gated to higher tiers.

Value A- $8.17/month Pro (annual) for 30 hours is competitive, though the free tier is capped tightly at 120 minutes.
