10 Fathom AI Alternatives & Competitors [2026]

I compared 10 Fathom AI alternatives: Jamie, Otter.ai, Fireflies.ai, MeetGeek, Avoma, Loom, Grain, Sembly AI, Tactiq and Gong.io.

I ranked them on accuracy, productivity, value for money and security under GDPR.

I did an extreme deep dive in our own accuracy test, where Jamie scored 90 for transcription and 98 for speaker identification. In that same test Fathom scored 60 for transcription and 68 for the AI summary. Fathom ran in bot-free device audio mode, which drops speaker labels by design.

Whether Fathom's bot let you down, or you are still deciding whether Fathom is worth paying for, the question stays the same: what is the best Fathom AI alternative? In this article we are going to show you 10 of them.

‍

TL;DR

• Best Overall (Bot-Free On Every Plan): Jamie uses macOS, Windows, iOS and Android to record both online calls and in-person meetings (without sending a bot) which generate summaries, transcripts and action items in 100+ languages. Jamie also can identify speakers in subsequent meetings by using Speaker Memory. Additionally, Jamie is able to access your entire history in order to answer any question that may arise during the conversation by using Ask AI. With respect to CRM integration, Jamie is able to write your meeting notes directly into Salesforce, HubSpot, Attio, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Pipedrive from the Pro plan. Once Jamie has a transcript of the meeting, the meeting audio is deleted. All meeting information will remain within Europe and adhere to GDPR as well as being ISO 27001 certified. The free plan offers users ten meetings a month.
• Best for Live Transcription: Otter.ai provides real-time transcriptions of meetings with speaker identification along with meeting workflow tools for use with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. This service is available via its Basic Plan for no charge, although it does have limitations; it limits the number of transcription minutes available to 300 per month.
• Best for Conversation Intelligence: Fireflies.ai tracks the amount of time spent talking (talk time), the overall tone or feeling associated with each call (sentiment) and what was discussed during each call (topics). It also provides unlimited transcription capabilities as well as 400 minutes of storage per team on the free plan.

• Best for Sales Coaching: Avoma is capable of scoring calls based upon how successful the salesperson was, tracking how the salesperson talked during the call (talk patterns), identifying potential risks to deals and other features that require an additional fee ($35) for Conversation Intelligence and Revenue Intelligence. Instead of providing a free version, Avoma offers a fourteen-day trial period for new customers.
• Best for Video Messages: Loom captures meetings using the Loom Notetaker tool that provides meeting recaps and transcripts in 50 different languages. The free version (Starter) allows recording up to 25 videos and screen recordings are limited to 5 minutes per recording.

All captured meetings will automatically be synced to both HubSpot and Salesforce on Business at $39. Users can have an unlimited number of meetings at 45 minutes each and it is completely free.
• Best for Structured Minutes: Sembly AI takes call information and creates formal meeting minutes as well as identifies tasks related to those minutes. Additionally, users with a paid subscription (Pro, $29) can create AI documents. There is a Basic Free Trial mode but there isn't a free plan option available.
• Best for Browser Transcripts: Tactiq has a "Live Transcript" capability built into the web browser which doesn't require a user to invite a bot into Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams to transcribe. The free plan offers access to 10 transcripts, as well as 5 AI credits per month.
• Best for Revenue Forecasting: Gong.io analyzes all conversations customers have with your organization; identifies potential risks associated with deals being processed through your sales team, and provides forecasts for your organization's future sales performance using what they refer to as their Revenue AI OS.

Jamie is a German AI meeting assistant that records online and in-person meetings without sending a bot, then generates the summary, transcript and action items in 100+ languages.

Jamie deletes the meeting audio once the transcript exists, is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified with all meeting data stored and processed in Europe, and never trains AI models on your data. Jamie is DORA-ready, and every one of those protections sits on our free plan rather than behind an enterprise tier.

Jamie generates topic-organized summaries with assigned action items and editable transcripts

Jamie generates topic-organized summaries with assigned action items in 100+ languages. Jamie splits every meeting into sections you can read in under a minute, keeps the speaker quotes attached, and hands you a transcript you can correct, tag and search. If you run back to back calls and write the notes up afterwards, these six features take that job off your desk:

• Executive Level AI Notes: Jamie generates topic-organized summaries with speaker quotes from every meeting
• Action items: Jamie captures action items with assigned owners from the discussion

Jamie identifies speakers with Speaker Memory and syncs attendee names from your calendar

Jamie identifies the speaker in each of your meetings; and if it is the same person speaking in future meetings, Jamie's Speaker Memory identifies this individual. Jamie puts real names into the speaker sections in your transcript, pulls names from your Google Calendar, or Outlook calendar when identifying the attendees to the meeting; and sends an email consent notification to all outside attendees before starting the meeting recorder. If you continue to write down Speaker One and Speaker Two in your notes, these five speaker feature options provide actual names in the notes:

• Speaker identification: Jamie puts the name of the speaker(s) in the section where they made their contributions

Jamie syncs meeting notes to Salesforce, HubSpot, Attio, Asana, Notion and OneNote

Jamie uses seven different CRMs to sync your meeting notes. Jamie starts doing this beginning with the Pro plan. Jamie writes summaries, transcriptions, and action items into five separate systems: Salesforce, HubSpot, Attio, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Pipedrive, with DealCloud on Team and Affinity on Enterprise. Jamie also syncs to three other systems that you can access on every plan (free or otherwise): Notion, Google Docs, and OneNote. If you type out the same notes into your CRM after every call, these seven integrations are where the retyping stops:

• Salesforce integration: Jamie writes summaries and transcripts to Salesforce records from the Pro plan.
• HubSpot integration: Jamie writes meeting notes to HubSpot contacts, deals and companies from the Pro plan.
• Attio integration: Jamie writes summaries and transcripts to Attio records from the Pro plan.

Jamie also uses 30+ pre-built templates that help create a structure/shape for each summary. Jamie will continue to save all of your transcripts so they remain searchable.
