Sembly is a cloud notetaker with structured minutes, task detection, and analytics, captured by a bot. As of 2026 it retired its free plan (now a 7-day trial), and it’s per seat. Raven keeps a free tier, runs local with no bot, is open source, and helps you live during the call.

Price

Sembly’s old free Personal plan is gone. Paid plans (annual) are Basic $10/mo (1 user), Pro $20/user/mo, and MAX $30/user/mo (3-seat minimum), all higher month-to-month. Raven is free; you pay your own AI/transcription usage (a few dollars a month), no seat fee.

​
What Sembly does better (honestly)

  • Structured meeting minutes, automatic task/risk detection, and an analytics dashboard.
  • Broad integrations and multi-meeting AI chat on higher tiers.
If you want automated formal minutes across a team, Sembly is designed for that.

​
When Raven wins

  • You want a real free tier - not a 7-day trial then per-seat billing.
  • You want live help during the call, meetings kept local, and no bot.
  • You want a free, open-source, auditable tool.
