Comparison · Verified September 2026
DiscMeet vs Craig
Both live inside Discord. Craig is built to capture clean multitrack audio you edit later. DiscMeet is built so nobody has to take notes — it transcribes the call and posts structured notes back to the channel.
The short version
If you want raw, per-speaker audio files for a podcast or video, Craig is the better tool and it is nearly free. If you want to walk away from a meeting or session with a transcript and notes already in Discord, that is what DiscMeet does and Craig does not.

Where Craig wins
- Studio-grade capture: a separate track per speaker, 24-bit FLAC on Tier 3, and direct export to Audacity or Audition. If you edit audio, this is the point.
- Price. Recording is free, and the whole supporter ladder tops out at $8 a month.
- Very long sessions: Tier 2 lifts the cap to 24 hours.
Where DiscMeet wins
- The output is the notes, not a file. Transcript and structured notes land in the channel the moment you stop — no download, no upload to another tool.
- Built for tabletop: campaigns, characters and locations feed the transcription so invented names come out spelled right, and every session gets a recap.
- Everything downstream: API and webhooks for your own workflow, and an MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can read your meetings.
Which one
Pick Craig if
- You produce a podcast, actual-play show or video and need editable per-speaker audio.
- You want the recording, not a summary of it.
- Budget is close to zero.
Pick DiscMeet if
- You want notes and a searchable transcript without anyone typing.
- You run RPG sessions and are tired of correcting character names.
- You want meetings to flow into other tools, or into an AI assistant.
Questions
- Does Craig transcribe or summarise recordings?
- Craig is a recording bot. Transcripts (WebVTT, SRT or plain text) are available to Tier 3 supporters at $8 a month. It does not generate summaries or notes.
- Can I get editable per-speaker audio from DiscMeet?
- No. DiscMeet records per speaker internally to attribute the transcript, but exports a single full-meeting MP3 (Pro and up). If you need separate tracks to edit, use Craig.
- Can I use both?
- Yes. Some tables run Craig for the audio archive and DiscMeet for the notes. They are separate bots and do not interfere with each other.
- Which is better for D&D and other RPGs?
- For recaps and session notes, DiscMeet — it has a dedicated RPG mode with campaigns, characters and name correction. For an audio archive of the session, Craig.
