Visit website What is it?
Fathom joins your Zoom, Google Meet or Teams call as a participant, records it, and sends you a summary, action items and a searchable transcript the moment it ends.
The free plan is unusually generous: unlimited recordings and transcripts, with a monthly cap on the fuller AI summaries. Clips are easy to share, and the paid tiers push notes into your CRM automatically. Its official Claude connection means Claude can find and summarise past meetings for you.
The bot in the call is visible to everyone, which some clients find off-putting, and it does not record in-person conversations. For that, see Granola or Otter.
Who it's for
Sales and customer-facing teams who want every call recorded and summarised without paying per seat to start.
Best for
- Recording sales and client calls
- Sharing call clips with the team
- Pushing notes into a CRM
- Free unlimited transcripts
Why it made the list
The best free tier of any meeting recorder, with CRM sync that sales teams actually use.
