Section 04
Pros and cons
From each tool's full review, written from the same checked facts.
Fathom
Pros
- The free plan includes unlimited recordings and transcriptions, plus clips, playlists and search across calls, at no cost.
- A beta bot-free recording mode on Mac works alongside the standard bot that joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
- Third-party AI providers are not permitted to train on your data, and in-house model training can be opted out of in account settings.
- Advanced call summaries, action items and a custom meeting bot are included on the cheapest paid plan rather than sold as an add-on.
Cons
- In-person meetings are not captured; only Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls are recorded.
- Fathom trains its own models on de-identified meeting data unless you opt out in account settings.
- Coaching metrics and AI scorecards are on the Business plan only, which needs at least two users.
MeetGeek
Pros
- No-bot Recording captures Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls through a Chrome extension or desktop recorder, included on the free Basic plan.
- AI Chat and search across all meetings is included from the free Basic plan.
- Data storage region can be chosen between the EU and the US.
- MeetGeek runs an MCP server on the free plan, so Claude and ChatGPT can draw on meeting knowledge.
Cons
- MeetGeek has no capture method for in-person meetings today; its Wave hardware device is announced but not yet released.
- Pro, the cheapest paid plan, still meters transcription at 20 hours a month with a $0.50 per hour charge above that; unlimited transcription starts on Business.
- HD video recording is limited to the Business plan and up.
