Bottom line

General AI note taker with unlimited recordings, transcripts and instant summaries on the free plan. Team is $15/user/mo billed annually with a two user minimum; Business adds CRM field sync.

Stands out for: Fathom's free plan has no cap on recordings, transcripts or instant summaries, and paid plans come with a 90 day money back guarantee.

Watch out for: There is no ATS writeback, only CRM sync. Team and Business need at least two users, and Team works out cheaper than the individual Premium plan.

Overview

Fathom records and transcribes your calls, either through a meeting bot or bot free on Mac (in beta), and sends an instant AI summary when the call ends. Paid plans add advanced summary templates, AI action items, AI follow up emails and Ask Fathom, a chat interface over your calls. Team plans add shared folders, comments, keyword alerts and playlists of highlights.

Fathom's integrations lean toward sales: Business syncs meeting insights into CRM fields and adds deal views and AI scorecards, and all plans connect to Claude and ChatGPT, with Zapier, Make and a public API and MCP on paid tiers. There is no ATS connector. Free is unlimited; Premium is $16/user/mo billed annually, Team $15/user/mo with a two user minimum, Business $25/user/mo and Enterprise quoted.
