Noota: What the AI Meeting Recorder Does and What It Costs

Camille runs a six-person customer team in Lyon. Her meetings happen on Teams, on Google Meet with clients, and twice a month across a table at a client's office. Her IT lead has one rule: meeting data stays in Europe.

A colleague suggested Noota, and Camille wants to know two things before she signs up: what it records, and what it will cost her team. (Camille is a composite, not a real person.)

Noota is a French AI meeting assistant that records and transcribes meetings on Google Meet, Teams, Zoom and Webex, with a desktop app for Mac and Windows and a phone app for iPhone and Android. Its free plan records through a bot only, and paid plans start at €19 per user a month, billed annually.

This article explains what Noota does and what each plan costs. It is built from Noota's own pricing page, help center and app store listings, all checked on November 10, 2026. It is not a hands-on test, and each Noota claim names the page it came from.

One disclosure: ParrotNotes publishes this blog and makes a phone-first note taker. If many of your meetings happen in a room rather than on a call, you can try ParrotNotes free next to Noota and compare the notes.

Noota in one minute

Noota calls itself "the sovereign AI assistant", and its homepage adds "Built in France, hosted in Europe." It covers meetings first, then everything around them: a meeting bot, a desktop recorder, a phone app, an email agent that drafts follow-ups, and an AI chat called Ask Noota that searches across your meetings and emails. Recruiters get an extra module called Taalent.

Choose Noota if your team lives on video calls, you want data hosted in the EU (or in France), and you need CRM or applicant tracking sync.

Look elsewhere if you want a free plan that records without a bot, most of your meetings happen face to face, or you need prices in dollars with no per-seat math.

How Noota records: bot, desktop, Chrome, iPhone and Android

Noota's homepage promises capture "With or without a bot, on every visio tool, the phone and in person." In practice, there are five ways in, and they're not all on every plan.

Sources: the homepage, the pricing page, the help center's mobile app guide and plan limits page. Checked November 10, 2026.

The pricing FAQ puts the bot question plainly: "Noota can join as a bot with the name you choose, or record quietly from your computer with the desktop app on the Pro plan and above. Participants are notified that the meeting is recorded."

The mobile app guide describes a simple flow: tap Start Recording on the Home screen, optionally pick a language and a report template, pause and resume as you go, and find the transcript and summary on the meeting page afterwards. The recording syncs to your folders on the web app. You can also import audio or video from your phone or from a link.

The help center says "Phone calls are available on the Business and Enterprise plans only." Those are calls placed through the app, which the pricing page sells as business phone numbers, including local numbers in 30+ countries. It isn't a way to record your ordinary carrier calls on the free plan.

What Noota gives you after a meeting

The help center's overview article lists what comes out of a recording:

• A transcript with "Speaker identification and timestamps", in "80+ supported languages."
• A summary report, with chapters and topic detection.
• Action items, decisions, blockers, and follow-ups.
• Report templates. Pro lets you build your own; Business adds a choice of AI model for reports.
• Ask Noota, an AI chat across meetings, calls and emails that answers with sources and can turn a call into slides.
• An email agent that drafts meeting follow-ups and replies. It runs on your monthly AI credits on Free and Pro, and is unlimited on Business.
• Exports as PDF, Word or TXT, and summary translation.

The company lists 46 native integrations, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion and Google Drive, plus Zapier, Make, n8n, an API and MCP. CRM and work tool sync starts on Pro.

On security, the homepage claims ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, EU hosting by default, and an optional "Sovereign France" mode on French cloud providers with Mistral as the AI model. It also promises "no AI training on your data." Those are the vendor's claims; ask for documents if your IT team needs proof.

Noota pricing in November 2026

Every plan is priced per user, in euros. Here they are, from the pricing page.

Source: the pricing page, checked November 10, 2026. Taalent, the recruitment add-on, costs €99 per user a month billed annually, or €139 monthly.

Two things the pricing page doesn't say: how long a paid trial lasts (Pro and Business show a "Try for free" button with no length given), and what an AI credit buys beyond email agent actions. If either matters to your budget, ask the sales team before you add seats.

The free plan's three conditions

The free plan looks generous at first glance: "Unlimited" meeting recording, unlimited seats, no card. The small print adds three conditions.

1. Bot only. The plan table lists Free's recording mode as "Bot only". Every recorded call has the bot in the participant list.
2. Your calendar decides. "Unlimited recording on the Free plan requires a connected calendar with Join all meetings enabled." The bot joins every meeting on your calendar, not only the ones you pick.
3. Everyone gets the summary. With that setting on, "the meeting summary is automatically shared with all participants." Fine for an internal stand-up. Less fine for a sales call where your notes include pricing thoughts.

There is also a gap between two of the company's own pages. The help center's plan limits page lists 300 minutes a month of live, desktop app and Chrome extension recordings on Free, while the pricing page labels Free as "Bot only." We couldn't confirm which applies today, or whether in-person recording in the phone app counts toward that 300. Check in your own account before you rely on it.

Storage and history

Free keeps your meeting history for one month, Pro for six. The help center says "Meetings older than your plan's history limit are archived." Business and Enterprise keep everything. If you're on Free, export the reports you need each month.

Which Noota plan fits which meeting

This table matches the meetings you actually have to the cheapest plan that handles them, based on the pages above.

Take Camille's team. Six seats on Pro, billed annually, comes to €114 a month, or €1,368 a year, for bot-free client calls and CRM sync. If her two account managers also need recorded phone calls, those two seats move to Business at €39 each. That's the per-seat math to run before you sign.

Finding the right Noota app on iPhone and Android

Search "Noota" in the App Store and you may see two apps. Only one is made by the French company.

• The real one: "Noota - Call & Voice to Text", seller Noota. Its listing promises "Online & in-person recording in one click" and "Call recording (VoIP) directly from Noota." It needs iOS 15.1 or later. On Android it has the same name on Google Play.
• A different app: "Noota: AI Note Taker & Memos", from a developer named Anh Nguyen, sells its own Pro subscription at $9.99 a month. It's built for lectures, YouTube videos and flashcards. It isn't connected to the French company's meeting platform, and a subscription there won't unlock anything in your workspace.

The safest route is the store link on the company's own mobile app page. Check the seller name before you pay.

Where Noota fits, and where a phone-first note taker fits better

Noota is a strong fit for European teams who spend most of the day on video calls. The bot covers Meet, Teams, Zoom and Webex. The desktop app removes the bot on Pro.

The hosting story answers the questions IT and works councils ask. Recruiters get an applicant tracking sync that the company says covers sixteen systems, including Bullhorn, Teamtailor and Workable.

The fit weakens when the meeting happens in a room. The phone app exists, but the product is built around the calendar, the bot and the desktop. And its free plan's best features depend on the bot joining calls you might not want it in.

ParrotNotes starts from the other end. You tap record on your phone, set it on the table with everyone's OK, and keep your eyes on the person in front of you. When you stop, you get a transcript, an AI summary and action items; Pro adds a drafted follow-up email. Nothing ever joins a call.

Daniel sells HVAC service contracts to property managers around Dallas. His meetings happen in mechanical rooms and on building rooftops, where nobody opens a laptop. A calendar bot is no use to him.

What he needs is a phone in his shirt pocket and notes in his hands before he's back in the truck. (Daniel is a composite, not a real person.)

Consent, the bot and EU hosting

A visible bot is a form of notice. The pricing FAQ says participants are notified that a meeting is recorded, and its homepage says it requests consent in both hosting modes. Recording without a bot doesn't remove the need to ask.

The rules depend on where people are. In the EU, recording a meeting is processing personal data under the GDPR, so you need a legal basis, usually consent or a documented legitimate interest; the European Commission's data protection page is the place to start.

In the US, recording laws differ by state: some need one party's consent, others everyone's. The Reporters Committee's recording guide covers each state, and our list of one-party consent states sums them up. This is general information, not legal advice. Never record anyone secretly.

Is Noota worth it?

For a European team on video calls, Noota is a serious option. It records on every major video platform, hosts in the EU, syncs to CRMs and applicant tracking systems, and its Pro plan at €19 per user a month (annual) undercuts plenty of US tools. Just read the free plan for what it is: a bot-first trial that joins your calendar and shares the summary with everyone.

Priya, a recruiter in Amsterdam, is the kind of user the company describes on its own pages: twenty candidate interviews a week on Teams, an applicant tracking system to keep current, and a company that wants data in Europe. Business at €39 a seat plus Taalent covers that week. (Priya is a composite, not a real person.)

If your meetings happen in rooms, cars and on site, a phone-first recorder is the better tool. Compare free plans side by side in our roundup of free AI note takers, or try ParrotNotes on your next in-person meeting.
