Fathom

Scribbl

• The free Lite plan covers 10 meetings a month, keeps video for 2 months and limits sharing to 5 people.
• The Mac desktop app needs Apple Silicon, so Zoom and Teams recording is not available on Intel Macs. The Windows installer is not yet code-signed.
• The Claude and ChatGPT connector needs a paid Scribbl plan and a paid Claude or ChatGPT plan.
• Team pricing is not published, and the pricing FAQ lists integrations and admin controls as part of the Team plan.

Fathom

Bot or bot-free capture

Record with a meeting bot that joins the call, or capture from the desktop app with nothing added to the meeting. Bot-free capture is in beta and currently works on Mac only.

AI summaries and action items

A summary is ready when the call ends. Free accounts get advanced summary templates on their first 5 calls each month; paid plans remove the cap and add AI action items.

Ask Fathom

Ask questions about a single call or across the calls in your account and get answers drawn from the transcripts. Use is limited on the Free plan.

Clips and playlists

Cut highlights out of a recording and group them into playlists to share with people who missed the meeting. Included on every plan.

CRM sync

Sends call notes to HubSpot, Salesforce or Close. The Business plan adds CRM field sync, a deal view, and coaching metrics with AI scorecards.

Team workspace

Team plans add global search across everyone's calls, comments, folders and keyword alerts that flag when chosen terms come up.

Scribbl

Google Meet recording in the browser

The Chrome extension records and transcribes from inside your own Meet tab. Nothing joins the participant list, and you do not need to be the host.

Scribbl Desktop for Zoom and Teams

A Mac and Windows app records Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls from your computer and starts on its own when a supported meeting window opens. It is included in every plan.

Notes, action items and transcript

Each call returns a summary, key topics, decisions, open questions and action items, with a transcript that has speaker labels and timestamps linked to the video.

Custom note templates

Build a template for a meeting you run often and its notes come back in that shape each time. Notes can be written in a different language from the meeting.

One searchable library

Meet, Zoom and Teams recordings land in the same library with one search across them, and calls are grouped by client automatically.

Claude and ChatGPT connector

On paid plans an MCP connector lets Claude or ChatGPT search across your meetings and read one. It is read-only and writes nothing back to Scribbl.
