Sembly AI review

Sembly AI is a meeting agent that turns conversations into transcripts, notes, tasks and follow-up materials. It can record scheduled Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex meetings, and the product information says it can join when you cannot attend. For in-person conversations, the Sembly app records audio for transcription and notes.

Sembly creates word-for-word transcripts in more than 45 languages and identifies speakers by name. It can summarize topics, pull out next steps and assign tasks with an owner and deadline. It can also generate proposals, reports, presentation decks and follow-up emails; documents and decks can be exported as editable Word and PowerPoint files.

The practical pitch is broader than a transcript bot: Sembly aims to carry meeting information into client work and team follow-through. Whether that replaces other tools depends on how its monthly credits are used and whether its plan limits fit your meeting volume.

Sembly covers more of the meeting workflow than a tool that stops at transcription. It combines calendar-based recording, offline capture, speaker-labeled transcripts, summaries, task extraction and deliverables. That can reduce the handoff from “what was said?” to “who is doing what?”—especially for teams producing client reports or follow-up emails after calls.

Its plan structure also gives individuals a way to start without paying, then offers larger limits for teams:

• Free costs $0 and includes one user, one meeting hour per month, 750 monthly credits and two months of meeting history.
• Basic is $17 monthly, or $10 per month with annual billing paid upfront. It includes unlimited meeting hours and one year of history for one user.
• Pro is $29 per user monthly, or $20 with annual billing paid upfront, for up to 40 users. It includes five integrations per user and two years of history.

A Reddit user described Sembly joining calls when invited and sharing recordings and transcripts by link, email or with other users. That suggests sharing can work across accounts, though the commenter recommended a shared workspace for a better experience.

The free plan is a sampler, not a dependable option for regular meetings: it caps usage at one meeting hour per month and includes only two months of history. Basic removes the meeting-hour cap, but its 2,500 monthly credits and one-year history limit still matter. The pricing details do not explain how quickly particular actions use credits, so the headline meeting-hour allowance is not enough to predict total usage.

Team plans cost more per user. Pro is $29 monthly or $20 per month with annual billing paid upfront, and is capped at 40 users. MAX costs $39 monthly or $30 with annual billing paid upfront; it covers 3–500 users and includes unlimited history, but those features come at a higher price. Enterprise pricing is custom, with a 10-user minimum. Additional credits are available on paid plans, but their price is not published.

Annual prices require upfront payment. And while the feature list includes many meeting outputs, the published pricing details do not say which deliverables consume credits or give a per-action credit schedule. Check those limits before comparing the monthly price with a tool that charges by seat or meeting hour.

Sembly’s Free plan costs $0, but includes just 1 meeting hour and 750 credits per month. Basic is $17 per month, or $10 per month with annual billing paid upfront. It includes unlimited meeting hours and 2,500 monthly credits. Pro costs $29 per user monthly, or $20 annually, and adds up to 40 users, 3,000 credits per user, and five integrations per user. MAX is $39 per user monthly, or $30 annually; it raises the allowance to 3,500 credits per user and adds HD video capture, unlimited history, HIPAA compliance, custom SSO, and an audit log. Enterprise pricing is custom.

The jump from Basic to Pro is $12 per user monthly at monthly rates, but Pro also adds team seats and integrations. Annual billing lowers the listed monthly price, but requires paying upfront. Sembly also offers a seven-day free trial. Paid plans can buy extra credits, but the price is not published. Check credit use and the one-hour Free cap before switching.

Sembly’s advertised workflow covers meeting capture, transcription, notes, tasks, and follow-up materials. That may reduce manual handoffs, but the published information does not explain how to import meetings, contacts, or tasks from another service, so migration effort is not published. Confirm what your team needs to move before committing.

For getting work back out, Sembly says decks and documents can be exported as editable PowerPoint and Word files. The published details do not say whether transcripts, recordings, meeting history, or task data can be exported in bulk, or what happens to them after cancellation. Ask support about export formats and retention before you move important records. Free includes two months of meeting history; Basic includes one year, Pro two years, and MAX unlimited history.

We don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published material, so we can’t responsibly claim what tends to make users leave. The clearest reasons to check first are the credit limits, the Free plan’s one meeting hour per month, and annual billing’s upfront payment. Extra-credit pricing is also not published.
