audien.to vs Fathom

audien.to

audien.to's standout feature is linking generated text back to the exact moment in the recording it came from, which is genuinely useful for interviews or calls where you need to trace a quote or decision back to its source. The no-signup free tier is generous for occasional use, but the 72-hour auto-delete means it isn't a place to store recordings long-term.

Pros

• +No signup required for free daily use
• +Output stays linked back to the source timestamp in the recording
• +Supports a stated 67 languages and nine output types

Cons

• −Files auto-delete after 72 hours, so there's no long-term archive
• −Company name and location are not disclosed
• −Free tier's daily cap requires a paid plan for heavier regular use

Fathom

Still one of the most generous free notetakers we have looked at: unlimited recordings and transcripts with no paywall on the basics, and the paid tiers stay cheap for small sales teams. Since September 2026 Fathom belongs to Superhuman (the former Grammarly), so buyers signing annual contracts should expect the product to be pulled toward that suite. Teams that need deep revenue analytics are still better served by Gong-class platforms.

Pros

• +Free tier includes unlimited recordings, transcripts and clips, which competitors gate
• +Bot-free capture avoids the awkward third participant in the call
• +Public API and MCP server on paid plans, plus native Claude and ChatGPT integrations
• +Aggressive switching offers: free Business for Gong contract holders, 10 free nonprofit seats

Cons

• −CRM sync is capped at three users per domain on lower tiers
• −Team and Business both require two seats, so a solo user pays the $20 Premium rate
• −Business costs $34 per user on monthly billing, $25 only when paid annually
• −Account-wide Ask Fathom search is still marked beta and has lookback limits by tier
