DiscMeet vs Crit Scribbler
Both are Discord bots that record your tabletop session and write the notes for you. Crit Scribbler leans into the fun extras: session titles, quotes and AI art of your party. DiscMeet leans into the record itself: who said what, names spelled right, and long sessions.
The short version
If your group plays a few sessions a month and loves the extras, like AI portraits of each character and a group photo every session, Crit Scribbler is a fun pick with a free tier of 4 sessions a month. If you want each player attributed by name, your campaign's invented names spelled right, long sessions, or several tables at once, DiscMeet is built for that.

Where Crit Scribbler wins
- The extras: memorable session titles, quotes from the table, and AI portraits of each player character, plus a group photo every session on World Builder.
- A free tier that keeps going: 4 sessions every month, not a one-off trial.
- Simple pricing by sessions, with an unlimited plan at $42 a month.
Where DiscMeet wins
- Every player is recorded on their own stream and named by their Discord identity, so the notes know who said what without any setup.
- Your campaign roster of characters, NPCs, places and items corrects mis-heard names after transcription. Fantasy names are where AI notes usually go wrong.
- Long sessions (up to 12 hours on Studio), several tables at once on Pro+, a full-session MP3, and an API, webhooks and MCP if you want the notes elsewhere.

Questions
