Fathom
Free forever (individuals); Premium $20/mo ($16/mo billed annually); Team $19/mo per user; Business $34/mo per user; Enterprise custom
Price checked at source August 28, 2026.
A free-forever AI notetaker for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, now adding a bot-free capture mode — used at 300,000+ companies, per its own site.
Our take
The free individual plan is a real free tier, not a time-limited trial — unlimited recordings, transcription, and AI summaries at $0. Paid tiers add CRM sync and team-wide search starting at $19/mo per user (2-user minimum); the newer bot-free capture mode is still in beta for Mac.
