Read.ai leans into meeting analytics and coaching - engagement scores, sentiment, “meeting coach” readouts - captured by a bot that joins your calls and stored in its cloud, per seat. Raven skips the bot and the cloud: capture is local, it’s free and open source, and it helps you live during the call.

Price

Read.ai’s free plan caps you at 5 meetings/month; unlimited transcripts start at Pro $19.75/user/mo ($15 annual), and video playback is gated to Enterprise $29.75+/user/mo. Recordings are only accessible while you keep paying. Raven is free; you pay your own AI/transcription usage (a few dollars a month), keep everything locally, and nothing disappears if you stop.

​
What Read.ai does better (honestly)

  • Meeting analytics/coaching dashboards, engagement metrics, and cross-workspace search.
  • Mobile apps and a polished hosted experience.
If you want engagement analytics across a team’s meetings, Read.ai is built for that.

​
When Raven wins

  • You want help during the call, not scorecards after.
  • You want meetings local and permanent - not a cloud archive you lose on cancel.
  • You want no bot in the call and a free, auditable tool.
