Fathom vs Noty (2026): which should you pick?

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 Noty if

• Fits if you want pay-as-you-go notes at $1 an hour for a few calls
• Works for one person who records up to 100 hours a month

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a plan that stays free, as there is only a 7-day trial
• Watch out: the Yearly and Monthly toggle shows only $10, so the billing basis is unclear
• Watch out: many supported languages are marked beta on the pricing page
• Skip it if you want integrations or phone and desktop apps, as none are named
• Watch out: Pro allows 3 AI credits per meeting
