Fathom vs jamie

Fathom is an AI meeting assistant founded by Richard White, who previously founded UserVoice. It joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls, records and transcribes them, and produces summaries with action items within seconds of the meeting ending. Its generous free plan made it one of the most widely used notetakers, especially among sales and customer success teams.

The free plan offers unlimited recording, transcription and storage for individuals, with a monthly cap on advanced AI summaries. Premium removes that cap and adds Ask Fathom, which answers questions across your meeting history. Team and Business plans add shared call libraries, automatic CRM sync to HubSpot and Salesforce, deal views and coaching features for sales managers. During calls you can highlight moments with one click, and afterwards create shareable clips, which is useful for product feedback and rep coaching.

Fathom fits individuals who want reliable free notes and sales teams that want call data flowing into the CRM without manual work. A bot visibly joins the call, which some participants dislike, and although Fathom transcribes dozens of languages, summary quality is strongest in English. Granola records without a bot for people who prefer a lighter footprint, Otter.ai and Fireflies.ai offer broader transcription and integrations, and Gong is the enterprise choice for revenue intelligence. For most people starting with AI notes, Fathom's free plan is the easiest place to begin.

jamie is an AI meeting note-taker from a Berlin-based German startup that launched it in 2022. Unlike Otter or Fireflies, it sends no bot into the call: the macOS, Windows or iPhone app captures audio on your device, so it works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, any other call tool and in-person meetings. After each meeting it produces a summary, decisions and tasks, and the audio is deleted once transcribed.

Beyond notes, jamie offers Ask Jamie chat across past meetings, custom templates and vocabulary, pre-meeting briefings and workflows that update a CRM or document. The free plan gives 10 meetings a month capped at 30 minutes each. US customers pay $29 per month for Plus (20 meetings up to 2 hours), $55 for Pro (unlimited meetings up to 5 hours, CRM sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Attio, API and MCP) and $45 per member for Team; EU prices are in euros and yearly billing saves about 17%.

jamie fits European consultants, sales teams and regulated firms that cannot put a visible recording bot in client calls. Granola is the closest bot-free rival but is US-hosted; Otter and Fireflies use bots but offer broader integrations; tl;dv is stronger for video playback. jamie keeps no video, so it is not a recording archive.

Compliance is the main selling point: ISO 27001, GDPR, DORA alignment for financial firms, processing in the EEA, Switzerland and UK, and no training on customer data. SOC 2 Type II was still listed as pending in 2026, which matters for US procurement.
