The verdict

Sembly wins, 6.5 to 6.1

Sembly keeps the meeting video and records in-person meetings; Tactiq does neither, working only through its browser extension and Mac app tied to online calls. Tactiq has a free plan; Sembly's no-cost tier is a trial, and its cheapest paid plan costs $17 a month against Tactiq's $12. Sembly can keep your data in the EU, while Tactiq cannot, its subprocessors all based in the US. Sembly also transcribes more languages, 45 against Tactiq's 30.

Pick Sembly if you need the meeting video kept and in-person recording.

Pick Tactiq if you want a genuine free plan at a lower price.
