A Notta alternative for iPhone: Scribe vs Notta
Notta is a cross-platform AI note-taker with web, desktop and mobile apps. It can record in person, import files, or send Notta Bot into Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex. Free starts at $0 with a monthly minute cap; Pro is $13.49 a month or $97.99 a year (USD). Scribe is an iPhone app that records on your phone — no bot joins the call — and turns the conversation into a speaker-labelled transcript, summary, action items and meeting minutes, from £9.99 a month. Choose Notta if you want a bot in online meetings and a workspace across web and mobile. Choose Scribe if most of your conversations happen in person or on your iPhone and you’d rather skip the bot.

Where the two differ
Bot or no bot. Notta can send Notta Bot into Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex, or use Notta Desktop to capture audio without a visible participant (Notta Bot). Scribe never joins the call as a participant — you record on your iPhone.
Minute quotas. Notta’s Free plan (checked 5 November 2026) includes 120 transcription minutes a month and caps each conversation at 3 minutes, with 50 file uploads and 10 AI summaries a month. Pro lifts that to 1,800 minutes a month and up to 5 hours per recording (Notta pricing). Scribe’s published Standard and Pro Live prices are flat subscriptions rather than a minute meter on the public pricing page.
What it costs. Notta Pro is $13.49 USD a month, or $97.99 a year billed annually ($8.17/month equivalent). Business is $27.99 USD a month per seat, or $199.99 a year per seat ($16.67/month equivalent), per Notta’s Help Center article updated 5 September 2026. Scribe Standard is £4.99 a week, £9.99 a month or £69.99 a year; Pro Live is £24.99 a month or £149.99 a year with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan.
Platforms. Notta syncs across web, desktop, iOS and Android. Scribe is iPhone-only.
During the meeting. With Scribe Pro Live you can follow a live transcript and get Question Radar talking points when someone asks you something. Notta generates a live transcript while its bot or desktop capture is running.
Who should pick which
Pick Notta if you need a meeting bot in Zoom, Meet, Teams or Webex, want web and Android as well as iOS, or work in a team workspace with Business/Enterprise controls.
Pick Scribe if you mostly meet or lecture in person, already carry an iPhone, prefer no bot in the participant list, and want speaker-labelled transcripts with summaries, action items and formal minutes in one UK-priced iOS app.
What Scribe does
Speaker-labelled transcripts: Every recording becomes a transcript that shows who said what.
AI summaries: A short summary of the conversation as soon as you stop recording.
Action items: Tasks and owners pulled out of the conversation into a checklist.
Meeting minutes: Structured minutes organised by topic, ready to share.
Ask Scribe: Ask questions about a recording, like “What did James say about the timeline?”
Folders & calendar timeline: Organise recordings in folders and see them linked to the meetings on your calendar.
Pro Live: Live Copilot: Real-time live transcription while the meeting is happening, plus Question Radar talking points when someone asks you a question.
