The verdict

Avoma wins, 7.0 to 6.5

Sembly can keep your data in the EU, while Avoma cannot, its subprocessors all based in the US. Avoma transcribes 70 languages against Sembly's 45 and lets you cut and share clips, a feature Sembly lacks. Sembly's cheapest paid plan is $17 a month against Avoma's $29. Neither has a free plan, only a trial, and both include AI in full on the cheapest paid tier.

Pick Avoma if you need more languages transcribed and clips you can share.

Pick Sembly if you want a cheaper plan that can keep data in the EU.
