Which one is for you
Pick Fathom if
- Fits if you want unlimited call recording and transcripts on the free plan
- Works for sales teams that want call notes landing in HubSpot or Salesforce
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're on Android, Linux, a Chromebook or an iPad, as none of those are supported
- Not for you if you want no bot in the call on Windows, since bot-free capture is Mac only and in beta
- Pricey if you're one person who wants the advanced summary on every call, at $16 a month yearly ($20 monthly)
- Tight if you stay free: advanced summaries cover 5 calls a month, and action items and Ask Fathom are rationed
- Watch out: Team and Business need at least 2 users, and CRM field sync and scorecards need Business at $25 a user
Pick Jamy if
- Fits if your calls mix languages and you need live translation
- Works for one person who stays under 300 minutes a month
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 300 minutes a month and 60-minute meetings
- Watch out: the homepage says per user billed annually while the pricing page shows only a monthly figure
- Watch out: the homepage mentions 5 free meetings a month, while the pricing page lists 300 minutes
- Pricey if you need Ask Jamy, white label, API keys or webhooks, which need Global Business at $29.99
- Skip it if you want phone or desktop apps, as only the web is listed
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAFathomGood | 2.2GPAJamyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CPro is $14.99 a month, between the middle of $12 and the dearer quarter, but the billing basis is not stated. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | C300 transcription minutes, meetings up to 60 minutes, 60 minutes of live translation and 1 custom template a month. |
| Features | 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. | CTranscripts, summaries, live translation, search and integrations. Ask Jamy, white label, API keys and webhooks are Global Business only. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo store rating on record. You invite it into meetings and connect your tools. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb only, with Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, Google Docs, Trello, Gmail and Outlook. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
