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.
Capture your first meeting
Jamie transcribes your computer's audio directly, with no meeting bots joining your call. Available for MacOS and Windows.
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 Automated Workflows: MeetGeek sends summaries of conversations into more than 7,000 applications through Zapier, Make and n8n. They provide recording capabilities without needing to use a bot either from a web browser or desktop application. As part of its Basic Plan, MeetGeek allows users up to three hours of transcription capability for no cost.
- 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.
- Best for Shareable Clips: Grain allows users to cut call highlights as well as capture meetings directly from their computer via desktop application rather than having to use a bot. 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. It does not offer a free version and requires quoting based on individual needs of organizations.

1. Jamie - Bot-Free, Executive-Level AI Notes Under 30 Seconds With Agentic Intelligence And Unlimited AI Usage
Best for: Bot-free executive-level notes for privacy-first teams, with GDPR compliant EU hosting and unlimited AI usage on every plan with Agentic Intelligence.
Similar to: Granola, Fathom.
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 runs as a native app on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, and Jamie captures the audio straight from your device, so nothing joins the call and nothing shows on screen. 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
- Transcription: Jamie makes a searchable transcript of all your meetings
- Editing: Jamie allows you to format (and therefore edit) your summary and transcript using "find and replace", as well as hyperlinks.
- Tagging: After tagging each meeting, you can sort through meetings by tag, and get back to previous meetings at will.
- Tasks: Jamie lets you collect action items as a task that you may create, view, and filter, both on your computer and on your phone.
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
- Speaker memory: Jamie has the ability to remember voices between meetings and matches names automatically
- Calendar integration: Connect Google or Outlook calendar to sync meeting details and populate attendee information
- Automatic meeting titles: Jamie generates a descriptive title for every ad hoc meeting

Jamie captures meetings bot-free on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, online and in person
Jamie records online calls and in-person meetings without sending a bot, on every plan including free. Jamie runs as a native app on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, captures the audio from your own device, and keeps all meeting data in Europe, GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified. If your legal team has to sign a tool off before you install it, these six compliance answers are the ones they ask for:
- Bot-free operation: No virtual bot joins your calls, Jamie captures system audio directly from your device
- Cross-platform support: Works on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android so you can record meetings on any device
- Online and in-person meetings: Jamie records online calls and in-person meetings on every plan, including free
- 100+ languages: Jamie generates notes and transcripts in 100+ languages on every plan, including free

- iOS and Android mobile apps: You can record an in-person meeting using a smartphone and then sync it to a computer as well.
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.
- Asana integration: On the Pro plan you can send tasks to an Asana project and have a summary of each item sent with it.

Jamie can answer questions regarding your whole meeting history using Ask AI, and does this for all plans (including free) as well as search for information based on just one meeting, one tag, or multiple meetings at once. 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. If you lose ten minutes looking for one number someone mentioned in the last month, the following five search features give those minutes back:
- Ask AI: Answers questions about one meeting or multiple meetings, on all plans (free included)
- Scratchpad: Write down ideas/thoughts/follow-up items/reminders while in meetings without needing to switch tabs or applications.
