Pick Fellow if…
you manage a team whose meetings run on shared agendas and action items, and you want the AI notes to live alongside them.
Both record, transcribe and summarize calls. Fathom leads on its free plan, which records and transcribes without a monthly limit, and adds sales-oriented features like CRM field sync and AI scorecards on Business. Fellow ties its AI notes to shared agendas, action items and tools like Notion and Confluence, but its free plan stops after 5 lifetime notes and its Team plan caps AI notes at 10 per user a month.
Pick Fathom if you want unlimited free recording and summaries, or CRM-synced sales recaps on its paid plans. Pick Fellow ($11/mo per user) if your team runs meetings from shared agendas and wants AI notes, action items and automations in the same place.
