Loreify vs DM Scribe: unlimited sessions against hours, a trial against a free plan

The numbers, with sources

How we sourced this: Loreify’s figures were read from its own pricing, home and help pages on 2026-10-16, linked per row. Its annual price is not quoted because the pricing page advertises “4 months free” without showing a figure, so any number we computed would be ours, not theirs. Upload size and length limits, speaker labels and audio retention are not stated on the pages we read — absences we observed, not claims that none exist. This is a small, actively developed product, and its pricing is the part most likely to have moved since the date above.

A cent apart for a weekly game, and far apart at the edges

If you are looking for a Loreify alternative, start with the meter. Loreify counts sessions: two a month on the $7 Casual plan, unlimited on the $15 Monthly plan, with every feature on both. We count hours of audio: 2.5 a month free, 10 for $7.99, 30 for $14.99. Every figure is in the table above, with the date we read it.

A weekly four-hour game uses four sessions and about 16 hours in most months, five and 20 in the long ones. That is Loreify’s $15 plan and our $14.99 one: a tie, paying monthly. Loreify advertises its annual plan as four months free but shows no annual price, so we have not priced it; if it comes to eight months of the $15 plan, annual billing favours them over our $143.90 a year.

Move to the edges and the answer is clear either way. A table running two campaigns, or playing four hours twice a week, records more than 30 hours a month — past our top plan, and inside their unlimited one. A table that plays a two-hour game once a month fits our free plan and pays nothing, where Loreify has no free plan and that table pays $7. A long game every other week favours them too: two six-hour sessions are 12 hours with us, more than the $7.99 plan holds, and two sessions on their $7 plan. (Session meters elsewhere in this category work the same way — see Archivist AI and Saga20.)

What Loreify does that we do not

Named plainly, because these are the reasons to choose it.

• A Discord bot. Start it with /loreify-record in your voice channel and stop it with /loreify-stop; the notes come back to the server as an embed with a public link, and players read them without an account. We have no bot: an online game is recorded with something else, such as Craig or OBS, and the file uploaded.
• Unlimited sessions. On the $15 plan there is no meter to watch, which suits a table that plays a lot. Our hours reset every billing cycle at 10 or 30, with $4.95 five-hour bundles on top that never expire.
• A stated language list. Loreify lists transcription in 14 languages. We publish no language list, so a table playing in another language should test either tool on a real recording first.
• A wider find and replace. Their campaign-wide replacement also reaches their chat history and session titles, which our name fix (below) does not touch.

What we do that Loreify does not appear to

A free plan that renews. Loreify has no free plan: every plan starts with a 7-day trial and then bills. Ours is 2.5 hours a month plus 3 one-time bonus hours at signup, with no card, and a table that records a short game each month can stay on it for good. A longer monthly game costs little more: the shortfall comes out of a $4.95 five-hour bundle that never expires.

Recording in the browser, and video in. Our browser recorder captures an in-person game on a laptop or phone, with pause and resume, and we take video files such as MP4, MOV and MKV directly. Loreify’s pages describe uploads and its Discord bot; we found no recorder of its own there. Ours hears the device’s microphone only, so at a Discord game it captures you, not the call.

A transcript you already have. Transcript import takes a text transcript on every plan — two a month free, ten on Dungeon Master, unlimited on Guild Master — without spending any hours. We found no text import on Loreify’s pages.

Spellings that stay fixed in new sessions. Loreify’s dictionary hints future transcriptions and its find and replace fixes past ones. Our name fix does both in one step: it corrects the recap, transcript and wiki, and the spelling it remembers is applied to every later transcript before it is stored, rather than only suggested to the speech model. It is on every plan, the free one included.

Where the two overlap: questions, sharing and speakers

Both answer questions about the campaign. Loreify’s is Chat with Your Lore; ours is Ask Your Campaign, which answers only from your own transcripts, wiki and recaps, with citations you can click — 5, 50 or 200 questions a day by plan. Neither of us has compared the two on the same campaign.

Both share notes with players who have no account. Loreify’s public link arrives with every Discord delivery. Ours is a read-only wiki link — GM notes never sent, links that expire and can be revoked — on the $7.99 Dungeon Master plan and up.

Neither labels speakers, as far as the published pages say: ours does not, and nothing we read on Loreify’s site claims it. If attribution is what you are shopping for, Saga20 and GM Assistant are the comparisons to read.
