How we grade them
| 2.4GPAClaapFair | 2.8GPAFathomGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $32 a licence a month billed yearly, $40 monthly, well past where this category's dearest tenth starts. And the bits in its own tagline, CRM auto-complete and coaching, need Business at $60, booked through a sales demo. People who only watch get free Basic seats, which helps a bit. | CPremium, the plan for one person, is $16 a month on the yearly deal and $20 monthly; Team is $15 but needs two of you. That's the dear end of a category starting near $10, and CRM field sync and coaching scorecards wait on Business at $25. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is free, but it's a taster: 10 recordings per user and 300 minutes in total, not per month, kept for 3 months. That's five hour-long calls and you're through it. | BUnlimited recordings, storage and transcription with a summary after every call, plus clips and playlists — a plan one person could really live on. The caps are real, though: advanced summaries cover the first 5 calls a month, and action items and Ask Fathom are rationed. |
| Features | BIt covers the job: Zoom, Meet and Teams recorded with or without a bot, meetings in the room on your phone even when it's locked or offline, summaries, transcripts in 99+ languages, and on Business CRM fields filled in and reps scored. There's an MCP server for Claude too. | BIt covers the job: bot or, on a Mac, bot-free capture in beta, a summary when the call ends, questions across all your calls, clips and playlists, notes into HubSpot, Salesforce or Close, and shared search and keyword alerts for teams. Fireflies and tldv cover the same ground. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and there's setting up to do: sync a calendar so recording starts by itself, pick bot or no bot, and on Business map your CRM fields and write the coaching framework. Business itself starts with a sales demo. | BNo rating on record, but nothing to set up: the summary is waiting when the call ends and there's nothing for you to do in between. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, a Mac recorder, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, hooked into Zoom, Meet, Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion and Claude. Windows people get the extension or the bot rather than a desktop app, and the API is Enterprise only. | BMac, Windows and iPhone, sending notes to Slack, Notion, Asana, HubSpot, Salesforce and Zapier. No Android app, and Linux, Chromebooks and iPads aren't supported. |
| Best for | sales teams that want call notes in the CRM | free, unlimited notes on video calls |
