Fathom
AI / LLMFreemiumVisit Site
An AI meeting notetaker with a genuinely usable free tier — unlimited recordings, transcripts, and AI summaries at $0.
Overview
Fathom competes on the free tier and it works. Unlimited recording, unlimited transcription, instant AI call summaries, clips, playlists, and keyword search cost nothing, which makes it the obvious default for a small team that has never had meeting capture at all. Paid tiers add the things that matter once you are past the individual: advanced summaries and action items at Premium ($20/mo, $16 annual), CRM syncing and coaching metrics at Business ($34/user/mo, $25 annual), and SSO and custom retention at Enterprise. The clean comparison against Granola: Fathom is bot-based and CRM-integrated, Granola is bot-free and note-merging. Sales teams that need calls in the CRM want Fathom; people who cannot have a bot in the room want Granola.
