Fathom pricing, a real free plan and paid tiers from $15 a user
Updated 2026-09-30 · markdown mirror
Verdict
Fathom's free plan is a working tool rather than a trial, with unlimited recordings, unlimited transcriptions, and instant AI summaries for individuals. Paid tiers add depth, Premium at $20 a month for advanced summaries and action items, Team at $19 a user monthly or $15 billed annually with a two-user minimum, and Business at $34 or $25 for CRM field sync and coaching metrics. Stay free if you take notes for yourself, pay when summaries must drive follow-ups across a team.

What it is
Fathom is an AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarises your calls, then files the follow-ups. It sits in our agentic productivity comparison on the strength of notes and CRM entries that file themselves. This page covers its pricing only; the head-to-head with Otter lives in our meeting-notes hub.
The price ladder, with numbers
The whole ladder, verified 30 September 2026 [1]:
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per user/mo) | Minimum users |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 1 |
| Premium | $20 | $16 | 1 |
| Team | $19 | $15 | 2 |
| Business | $34 | $25 | 2 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Annual billing saves 20 to 26 percent across the paid tiers. The pricing page defaults to annual display, so a monthly-billing quote of $19 for Team is not a price error, it is the other rung of the same ladder.
Where the free plan genuinely ends
Volume is free, depth is paid. Free covers unlimited recordings and transcriptions, instant summaries, clips, and search [1], which is more than Otter’s 300 monthly transcription minutes. What money buys is depth, advanced summaries with 15-plus templates, AI action items, follow-up emails, coaching metrics, and at the top CRM field sync, which writes outcomes into your sales records without manual entry [1]. A solo operator working from notes stays free indefinitely. A sales team running on follow-up discipline outgrows Free within a quarter.
Don’t pay for it if
Your meetings end and nothing downstream depends on the summary. Premium’s advanced summaries and action items only pay for themselves when someone acts on them, and the two-user minimum makes Team the wrong way to buy a solo subscription when Premium is cheaper.
