What our research says

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

Jamy

The live-translation minutes are what separate this from the crowded meeting-notes field — it is aimed at calls where not everyone shares a language. The free tier is generous enough to test properly. The cost of that focus is that translation is metered separately from transcription until you reach the top plan.

Pros

  • Joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams directly
  • Transcription with speaker labels across more than 100 languages
  • Free tier includes 300 transcription minutes a month
  • API keys and webhooks are available on the $29.99 plan

Cons

  • Live translation is metered separately and only uncapped on the top tier
  • The site never names an operating company or country, and the privacy notice does not either
  • API access is gated to the most expensive plan

Which one fits

Choose Fathom if you need

  • Individuals who want unlimited recording and summaries without paying anything
  • Small sales teams that need CRM notes written automatically after every call
  • Anyone who wants meeting context piped into ChatGPT or Claude via API/MCP

Choose Jamy if you need

  • Distributed teams running calls across languages
  • People who want notes pushed straight into Slack, a CRM or a task board
  • Anyone who needs a usable free tier before committing
