Most meeting tools are built to write up the call afterward (Fathom, Granola, Otter). A few now add live in-call help too - Cluely, and Otter on its Enterprise tier. Raven does both jobs in one open-source, local-first app that brings your own API keys, keeps recordings on your machine, and never puts a bot in the meeting.

Raven vs Otter

No 300-minute cap, no bot, no cloud - vs Otter’s metered free tier.

​
The short version

Raven is free and open source. You bring your own keys, so transcription (Deepgram / AssemblyAI) and AI (Anthropic / OpenAI) are billed by those providers for what you use - typically a few dollars a month for regular use, and nothing when you’re not in a call.Competitor prices verified August 2026 - they change often; check each vendor’s pricing page before relying on a number.
