| What it does | Fathom is an AI meeting recorder with summaries, clips, search across calls, and CRM sync on paid plans. | Fireflies.ai is an AI notetaker that joins or records meetings and produces transcripts, summaries, and action items. |
| When to consider it | Consider it when you want a generous free recorder for your own calls and may later add team features and CRM sync. | Consider it when meetings run across several platforms and you want the option to record through a browser extension instead of a visible meeting bot. |
| What to check first | Several AI features are marked as limited use, bot-free recording is a Mac beta, and team plans have a two-user minimum. | Paid plans are charged per seat, and rate limits are documented for the API, dialers, and bulk file uploads. English is the primary language; many other languages are documented as beta. |
