Best Free AI Meeting Note Taker in 2026

Image
Screenshots: Fathom, Otter, Fireflies and Read AI official pages I have worked in IT for about twenty years, and every few weeks someone asks me for a free AI note taker that will not cut off in the middle of a meeting. The honest answer is that "free" means something different on every plan. One tool limits your minutes, another limits how long a meeting can run, and a third quietly stops recording after a handful of meetings. This guide follows the searches people run next on Google (students, iPhone, Android, Reddit, Bluedot, Fathom) and compares the limits that each vendor lists on its own pricing page, all checked on October 28, 2026.
