What it actually does
Meeting summaries and highlight reels, capture with or without a bot joining the call, live summary and scratchpad in the desktop app, CRM sync, meeting history queried from ChatGPT or Claude.
Before you pay
Free or Premium
Fathom's free plan is the core product: meeting summaries and highlights, free for good, with guests needing no download. Premium is for someone who wants more of the AI features on every call. Team plans start at two users, and Business adds more for sales teams.
What a year costs
Premium is $20 a month billed monthly, $240 a year, or $16 a month on yearly billing, $192 a year. Team is $19 per user a month with a two-user minimum, so at least $456 a year billed monthly, or $360 a year at $15 per user on yearly billing. Business is $34 per user a month, or $25 on yearly billing. Our first reading, on 6 August, took the yearly figure; the record holds the monthly price since 12 September, a correction rather than a price rise.
What we would check before paying
Whether your language is supported, since Fathom covers fewer than some rivals. Paid plans carry a 90-day guarantee according to the pricing page. If you need a full transcript archive rather than summaries, another note-taker may fit better.
