Attribute	ClickUp Brain	Fathom	Wispr Flow
Plans	Free Forever Free Trying Brain on a small workspace.	FreeOur pick Free Anyone who wants every call recorded without paying.	Free Free Light users and trying it out.
	Brain AI add-onOur pick $9/user/mo on top of a paid ClickUp plan Teams that mainly want AI chat and writing inside ClickUp.	Premium $20/mo, or $16/mo billed yearly One person who wants the fuller summaries every time.	ProOur pick $15/mo, or $12/mo billed yearly Anyone who talks more than they type.
	Business (new pricing) $25/user/mo, or $17/user/mo billed yearly Teams on ClickUp's new plan layout, with AI bundled in.	Team $19/user/mo, or $15/user/mo billed yearly Small teams sharing calls with each other.	Growth $23/user/mo, or $18/user/mo billed yearly Teams with security or compliance needs.
	Everything AI add-on $28/user/mo on top of a paid ClickUp plan Heavy users of agents, notetaker and AI automations.	Business $34/user/mo, or $25/user/mo billed yearly Sales teams living in a CRM.	Enterprise Custom Large managed rollouts.
	Max $120/user/mo, or $100/user/mo billed yearly Power users who run agents all day.	Enterprise Custom Larger organisations needing SSO and rollout help.
Which plan to pick	Use the free trial credits first. If Brain earns its place, the $9 Brain AI add-on is the cheapest real step, but ClickUp may show you its new bundled plans instead, so screenshot your quote. Upgrades apply to the whole workspace, which gets expensive fast for large teams.	Most people should simply use Free; it covers more than the paid tiers of its rivals. Only move to Team or Business when several people need to search each other's calls or you want notes landing in HubSpot or Salesforce without lifting a finger.	Free tells you within a day whether talking suits you. If you hit the weekly cap, which most people do fast, Pro on the yearly plan is the one. Growth is only about security paperwork.

Pros and cons

Attribute	ClickUp Brain	Fathom	Wispr Flow
Pros	Knows your tasks, docs and chats, so answers are about your actual work Can create and update tasks, not just chat Super Agents handle routine admin on a schedule Choice of GPT, Claude and Gemini models	Unlimited free recordings and transcripts, no catch Video means you can replay and clip moments, not just read about them Summaries arrive almost instantly after the call CRM sync is the real thing for sales teams Official Claude connection	Output is clean enough to send without editing Works the same in every app, including terminals and browsers Much faster than typing for long prompts and emails Learns your names and jargon Good free plan to test the habit
Cons	AI pricing keeps changing, with credits and limits added mid-contract Pushy upsells, and AI often has to be bought for the whole workspace ClickUp itself is often slow, laggy or buggy Brain outages lasting days have been reported Only useful if your team already lives in ClickUp	A recording bot joins most calls and some clients find it off-putting Built for video calls; in-person meetings are not its strength The fuller AI summaries are capped unless you pay Pricing tiers are confusing, with Premium costing more than Team	Weekly word cap on Free is small Accuracy drops in noisy rooms and open offices Dictating out loud is awkward in shared spaces Your speech is processed in the cloud, which some workplaces won't allow Pro is pricey next to built-in dictation if you only use it occasionally
