Fathom (formerly fathom.video) is an AI notetaker that records, transcribes and summarizes Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls, aimed at individuals and teams who want automatic call summaries and action items without paying for basic recording. It runs on a freemium model with a genuinely free-forever plan offering unlimited recordings and transcriptions, and paid Team plans starting at $15 per user per month billed annually ($19 billed monthly, two-user minimum).
Who builds it
Fathom is developed by Fathom, the company behind fathom.ai, previously known as fathom.video. The product is built specifically around meeting recording and summarization, with unlimited free recording positioned as the entry point before teams pay for collaborative features and deeper integrations.
Core features
- Meeting recording and transcription across Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls.
- Unlimited recordings and transcriptions included even on the free plan.
- AI-generated action items and call insights that automatically flow into connected tools after every conversation.
- CRM and workflow integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack and Asana, plus connections to ChatGPT, Claude and Zapier.
- A public API and MCP support for building custom automations on top of call data.
Who it is for
Fathom fits individuals and teams who want reliable, free call recording and summaries across the three major meeting platforms without committing to a paid plan first. Because the free plan already includes unlimited recordings and transcriptions, it works well for solo users or small teams testing the workflow, while the $15/user/month Team plan adds shared team features and deeper CRM sync for organizations standardizing on Fathom.
Data and privacy
Fathom states it is SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA compliant, with SSO/SCIM support for enterprise identity management. That combination covers common regulated-industry and enterprise procurement checklists. Fathom does not publish a specific EU-hosting guarantee in the facts available here, so DACH teams with strict DSGVO data-residency requirements should confirm hosting region and a data processing agreement directly with Fathom before rollout.
Bottom line
Fathom stands out for offering unlimited recordings and transcriptions on a genuinely free-forever plan across Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, making it an accessible entry point for individuals, with SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA compliance and CRM integrations available once a team is ready to pay for collaborative features.
