Fathom vs MeetGeek

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.

MeetGeek is an AI meeting assistant built in Bucharest, Romania, by three former Ericsson colleagues: Dan Huru (CEO), Raluca Risnoveanu and Alexandru Mindru. It joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls as a bot, or captures other calls through its desktop app, browser extension and mobile app, then records, transcribes and summarises the conversation.

Transcription auto-detects more than 100 languages, and summaries follow the meeting language. Over 30 summary templates are included, and AI chat answers questions across one or many meetings and drafts follow-ups. Notes and action items flow to CRMs such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM and Attio, to Slack, Notion, ClickUp, Asana and Jira, and to Greenhouse and Lever. Data can be hosted in the EU or US, and MeetGeek lists GDPR, SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA support. The free Basic plan includes three transcription hours a month; Pro adds 20 hours, Business is unlimited and Enterprise is custom.

MeetGeek fits small and mid-sized sales, recruiting and customer success teams, especially in Europe where EU hosting matters. A visible bot in the call can put off some guests, Pro caps transcription hours, and free storage is short. Otter is stronger for live transcription, Fireflies has a bigger integration catalogue, and tl;dv is popular for building sales call libraries.

MeetGeek is backed by Early Game Ventures, a Central and Eastern European fund, and now offers an API and an MCP server so Claude and ChatGPT can query meeting data. Annual billing cuts the Pro and Business prices by about 37%.
