Fathom vs Jamie: pricing, features and which to choose

Fathom is a meeting-intelligence service founded in 2020 and led by Richard White. TechCrunch reported a $4.7 million seed round in 2022 and a $17 million Series A in 2024, led by Telescope Partners, including more than $2 million raised from users through Wefunder. In September 2026, Superhuman acquired Fathom, which remains an active meeting-notetaker product under changed ownership. Fathom said its product was used at more than 300,000 companies; TechCrunch reported more than 400,000 monthly active users and over one million people who had recorded meetings. It records conversations, creates transcripts and summaries, and converts discussion into searchable follow-up for individuals and teams.

The workflow begins by connecting Fathom to a calendar and supported meeting service. A call can be captured by its meeting bot or, on supported Mac desktop workflows, through bot-free capture. Afterward, Fathom produces a transcript, summary, action items, clips, and follow-up material. Users can search attendees and keywords, ask questions about a call, and organize highlights in playlists. Team features add shared search, comments, folders, keyword alerts, and account-wide meeting discovery. Integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, Slack, Notion, Asana, Zapier, ChatGPT, and Claude. Automatic CRM updates make Fathom especially useful when conversation notes must become records, tasks, or follow-up. The tradeoff is that setup and permissions matter, and recording consent remains the customer’s responsibility.

Fathom’s main limitations are that its richest team, coaching, CRM, and retention controls sit above the free product, while bot-free capture is identified as a beta Mac feature. Fireflies.ai offers broader capture options, including mobile, desktop, dialers, uploads, and 100-plus languages. Otter.ai is a familiar choice for live transcription and collaboration, Granola is a closer bot-free competitor, and Read AI emphasizes meeting analytics. Avoma is another alternative for meeting-centered business workflows. Fathom is the better pick for individuals and sales, customer-success, or project teams that value a generous free tier, polished summaries, searchable clips, and CRM follow-through. Choose competitors when dialer coverage, wider language support, or bot-free capture across more platforms matters more.

Jamie was introduced by TeamTap in October 2022 by a team based in Cologne, Germany, with structured company information listing 2022 as its founding year. It is a productivity application that captures desktop meetings, creates transcripts and generates notes for bot-free online, in-person and cross-platform conversations. The 2022 launch described GPT-3 and speech-to-text models, while current documentation names Anthropic and OpenAI as note-generation providers without identifying a Jamie-branded model. Jamie offers a free plan with 10 AI notes per month and a 30-minute meeting limit. Annual-billing equivalents are $24 monthly for Plus, $46 for Pro and $37 per Team seat, while US month-to-month rates are $29, $55 and $45. Pro adds unlimited notes, and Enterprise pricing is custom, with SAML SSO, SCIM and EU data residency.

Jamie is a bot-free meeting assistant for macOS and Windows that captures audio, uploads it to Frankfurt for transcription, and generates notes through Anthropic or OpenAI services. Audio is deleted after transcription, while transcripts and notes remain stored in Frankfurt. Jamie states that customer data is not used to train its models. Users install the desktop app, select vocabulary and a note template, and record meetings without inviting a bot. Jamie then provides a transcript, summary, speaker identification, and searchable notes. Users can ask questions through Ask Jamie, apply tags, or send outputs into supported workflows. The Free plan includes 10 AI notes monthly, unlimited storage, and a 30-minute meeting limit. Paid plans increase meeting limits and template allowances, while Pro adds Asana, Salesforce, and HubSpot integrations.

Jamie is a bot-free meeting notetaker for macOS and Windows that captures audio, uploads it for transcription, stores transcripts in Frankfurt, and deletes audio afterward. Its free plan costs $0 and includes 10 AI notes monthly, with meetings limited to 30 minutes. With annual billing, Plus, Pro, and Team cost $24, $46, and $37 per seat monthly, respectively, offering higher limits and, on Pro, integrations including Asana, Salesforce, and HubSpot. US month-to-month documentation lists higher rates of $29, $55, and $45. Unlike Shortwave, Jamie focuses on meetings rather than Gmail, and unlike Fathom, it supports bot-free capture and in-person use, but lacks live transcription and video capture. It has no publicly documented self-hosting option, while API access is documented for Enterprise. Privacy-conscious teams needing meeting notes should pick Jamie.
