Fathom AI pricing: free plan, Premium, Team and Business
Last updated
Fathom AI pricing is simpler than most: a free plan with unlimited recordings, a $16-a-month Premium plan for individuals, and Team and Business plans priced per user with a two-user minimum. The annual figures below are what the pricing page showed on 21 October 2026 with the “Annually” toggle selected; monthly prices are in brackets.
Fathom’s plans and prices
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Unlimited recordings and transcriptions, choice of bot or bot-free capture (beta, Mac), instant call summaries, clips and search; some features marked “Limited use” |
| Premium | $16 per user / month billed yearly ($20 monthly) | Advanced summaries, AI action items, a conversational meeting assistant and a custom meeting bot |
| Team | $15 per user / month billed yearly ($19 monthly), 2-user minimum | Global search across the team’s calls, playlists, comments, folders and keyword alerts |
| Business | $25 per user / month billed yearly ($34 monthly), 2-user minimum | CRM field sync, Deal View, coaching metrics, AI scorecards and custom summaries |
| Enterprise | Talk to sales | SSO and SCIM, organisation-wide security controls, custom data retention, onboarding programme and a success manager |
The pricing page has a Monthly / Annually toggle and says annual billing saves “25%+”. The yearly figures above are per user per month; Team and Business need at least two users.
Premium, Team and Business have a “start free trial” button, but the page doesn’t state how long the trial lasts. Every plan lists a “90 day guarantee” without spelling out the terms.
There are no priced add-ons. Fathom lists a Qualified Portfolio programme (up to two years of Team free for eligible start-ups), ten free seats for non-profits, and a switching offer for Gong users.
Is Fathom free?
Yes, and the free plan is unusually open: unlimited recordings and transcriptions, instant summaries, and the choice of bot or bot-free capture. The page tags some features as “Limited use” on the free plan, including AI action items and account-wide Ask Fathom, and lookback for team calls depends on the plan tier. The things you pay for are advanced summaries, action items and team features rather than minutes.
Bot or bot-free: what the free plan actually gives you
Fathom’s what’s-new page describes four capture types. The bot joins the call and records full video and audio. Bot-free, from the Mac desktop app, comes in three forms: transcript only, audio with a transcript and summary, and video, which is “currently in a limited beta”. The pricing page labels bot-free capture a beta feature for Mac; Windows users are told they are “up next”. Bot-free capture also works in Slack Huddles, where no bot can join.
If you need a tool that never sends a bot, and you are on a Mac, Fathom’s bot-free modes are worth trying. They still upload the audio to Fathom’s US servers for transcription, which is the other half of the picture.
Which devices Fathom runs on
The notetaker works with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. Bot-free capture needs the Mac desktop app. An iOS app for in-person conversations is listed as “almost here” on the what’s-new page. Fathom doesn’t advertise Android.

- Storage: all Fathom data is stored in the United States, and the service is hosted there. The help centre doesn’t name a region beyond that.
- Training: de-identified customer data improves Fathom’s proprietary models; you can opt out in My Settings, and team admins can opt out an organisation. Its AI sub-processors (Anthropic, OpenAI and Google) are not permitted to train on your data.
- Compliance: Fathom reports SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR compliance, with a BAA available. It does not hold ISO 27001.
- Deleting: deleting your account removes recordings and metadata, and backups are cleared after a further 7 days. The privacy policy commits to “commercially reasonable efforts” within 30 days, and on Team, Business or Enterprise plans deletion goes through your administrator.
- Encryption: the pages we checked defer to Fathom’s Trust Center, which we couldn’t read, so we don’t list encryption details here.
