Our take— Otter.ai wins
Based on our comparison of published pricing, features, and compliance data, Otter.ai scores 7.6/10 to Sudowrite's 7.1/10. Otter.ai pulls ahead with GDPR compliance and SOC 2 certification. Sudowrite stays close but doesn't lead on any single attribute here. Otter.ai is the call when GDPR compliance matters — otherwise Sudowrite.
