Why teams pick Earmark
Beyond transcription
Otter hands you a transcript and summary, then you do the work. Earmark drafts the PRD, the tickets, and the recap so you walk out with the deliverable, not homework.
No bot, no friction
OtterPilot joins your call as a visible participant. Earmark captures device-side — nothing shows up in the attendee list, which makes it easy to adopt in customer and security-conscious meetings.
Built for how product teams ship
Decision logs, acceptance criteria, Jira and Linear tickets, stakeholder updates — in the formats your team already executes with, generated while you talk.
Trusted by product teams who ship through conversation
“Earmark transforms planning calls straight into PRDs and JIRA tickets. An indispensable PM tool that saves hours of documentation.”
“No other AI transcription tool gives this level of flexibility. Cuts my admin time by about 75%.”
“Earmark is far beyond a basic meeting tool — task agents build summaries, follow-ups, and deliverables while we’re still talking.”
Questions?
Is Earmark just another Otter alternative?
Not quite. Otter is an AI notetaker — its main output is a transcript and summary. Earmark’s main output is finished work: PRDs, tickets, decision logs, and stakeholder updates generated from the conversation.
Does Earmark join my meetings like OtterPilot?
No. Earmark uses device-side capture, so no bot appears in the participant list. It works across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in person.
Can Earmark create Jira and Linear tickets?
Yes. Earmark drafts tickets with titles, descriptions, and acceptance criteria, and can push work to Linear and Jira before the meeting ends.
Is my meeting data private?
Earmark is privacy-first: it doesn’t store raw audio by default and never trains on your data. You control what’s retained, configurable per meeting or workspace.
How much does Earmark cost?
Plans start at $8/month for Starter and $20/month for Pro, with a 14-day trial. Enterprise is available for larger teams.
