Epic's Echo vs Epicly
The closest thing to this on the market. On the two questions that matter most — what happens to your recording, and whether your game trains a model — they answer well. Here is where we actually differ.
What Epicly says, in its own words
“Tabletop games without the work.”
The recording
“We don't hold onto your recordings after your session is transcribed.”
What this one does
The same, as of this month: the recording is deleted when the recap finishes. Fourteen days only if your table asks for it — and there is a button to delete it sooner.
Training on your game
“Your story is not used to improve AI models — not ours, not anyone's.”
What this one does
They print that promise. We don't, yet: no written contract with our model vendor covers it, and putting the line up before the contract exists would be exactly the kind of claim this site is built to avoid.
What you get without paying
“Upload up to 2 sessions per month”
What this one does
Thirty days and eight Echoes — your first two sessions run end to end, not a thirty-minute sample. After that the archive stays readable and exportable for nothing.
Buying extra sessions
“Extra audio session credits that never expire and can stack with your plan”
What this one does
Echo packs need an active subscription here, so we struck “never expire” from our own copy rather than sell around it.
Where Epicly is ahead of us
Epicly's free tier never ends — two sessions a month, indefinitely. Ours is a thirty-day trial: it's generous while it runs, but it does run out.
“$0.00 forever”
