Quick answer: Fathom's free plan includes unlimited recordings and transcriptions with no minute cap. On annual billing Premium is $16 per user per month, Team is $15 with a two-user minimum, and Business is $25. Enterprise is quoted. Every paid plan carries a 90-day money-back guarantee, and CRM sync is capped at 3 users per domain on everything below Business.
Disclosure: Lynkk publishes this guide and makes a competing AI meeting assistant.
Fathom AI pricing meters nothing on capture. The free plan records and transcribes without a minute allowance, which removes the question most pricing guides in this category spend their time on. What you are actually buying is the intelligence layer and, for sales teams, one specific integration limit.
Fathom AI pricing runs $0, $15, $16, $25 or a quoted figure per user per month depending on the plan and billing cycle. Annual billing saves 25% or more, and plans split into an individual track and a team track.
| Plan | Track | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Individual | $0 | $0 |
| Premium | Individual | $20 per user | $16 per user |
| Team | Team | $19 per user | $15 per user |
| Business | Team | $34 per user | $25 per user |
| Enterprise | Team | Quote | Quote |
Team and Business both carry a two-user minimum. Free, Premium and Enterprise do not.
Note the oddity in that Fathom AI pricing table: Team at $15 costs less than Premium at $16 and includes more. If there are two or more of you, the individual plan is never the right purchase.
Yes, and the free plan is unusually complete on capture. It includes unlimited recordings and transcriptions, a choice of bot or bot-free capture, instant AI call summaries, clips, playlists, search across calls, and unlimited call storage and downloads.
The limits sit on the AI layer rather than on volume:
Set against the best free AI note takers, this is unusually complete. For one person who wants every call recorded and searchable and will read the summary themselves, the free plan works. You lose the automation, not the record.
Fathom Premium is $16 per user per month on annual billing and $20 monthly, and it buys the AI layer the free plan withholds. It is the individual track, with no seat minimum.
Premium adds advanced call summaries drawing on 15 or more meeting templates including BANT and Sandler frameworks, AI-generated action items, an unlimited conversational meeting assistant for your own calls, and a custom meeting bot name.
Before buying it, check the Team price. At $15 it is a dollar cheaper per head and includes the shared workspace.
Fathom cost per user on the Team plan is $15 per month on annual billing and $19 monthly, with a two-user minimum, so the smallest Team bill is $30 a month annually. It includes everything in Premium plus the collaboration layer.
CRM sync appears at this tier with a limit worth reading twice: syncs are capped at a maximum of 3 users per domain on Free, Premium and Team. Eight reps who all need calls logging to HubSpot automatically cannot do it on Team.
Fathom Business is $25 per user per month on annual billing and $34 monthly, a $10 step up from Team, and the CRM cap is the main reason sales teams take it. For ten people that is $3,000 a year against Team's $1,800.
Business adds:
Ten people cost $1,800 a year on Team annual, $2,280 on Team monthly, $3,000 on Business annual and $4,080 on Business monthly. The spread between the cheapest and most expensive way to buy for ten is $2,280 a year.
| Plan | Per user per year | 10 users per year |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 |
| Team, annual | $180 | $1,800 |
| Team, monthly | $228 | $2,280 |
| Business, annual | $300 | $3,000 |
| Business, monthly | $408 | $4,080 |
Enterprise adds the Launch Assist onboarding program, organization-wide security controls, SSO, Okta SCIM provisioning, custom data retention, a signed BAA for HIPAA, increased cyber insurance coverage, custom contracts with red-line support and a dedicated success manager.
Fathom's public API and MCP access are included rather than priced separately, and sit on the paid tiers alongside Zapier, Make and Slack integrations. Zapier and Make are marked limited use on the lower tiers.
Three programs take the price to zero or near it, and all three are worth checking before paying:
That last offer is aimed directly at buyers facing a conversation intelligence renewal, where first-year costs are reported above $26,000 for ten people (see Gong pricing).
Four places Fathom pricing outruns the comparison table:
Lynkk's free plan is $0 with no card: unlimited notes of up to 2 hours each, and the first 5 hours of AI summaries in total, not per month. After that, notes still record and transcribe, without summaries. The meeting bot for Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams is free on every plan, the Mac app also records in-person meetings and WhatsApp, FaceTime and Webex calls, and the Chrome extension captures calls without a bot. Within those 5 hours, and on Pro, each call gets a summary, action items with an owner and due date, and a recap email. Lynkk Pro is $15 per person a month, or $9.75 a month billed yearly ($117 a year), and adds unlimited summaries and Ask Lynkk, which answers questions across all your notes with numbered sources. Spotter, in development in the Mac app, helps during a call from your screen and the conversation, with early access on Pro by request. Enterprise is a custom price for up to 10 people on one bill, sold through a demo.
The clearest contrast is CRM. Fathom syncs with Salesforce and HubSpot, capped at 3 users per domain until Business at $25. Lynkk does not sync with a CRM today: action items go to Jira, answers go to Slack, and you can copy any summary into your CRM. If automatic CRM logging is a requirement, Fathom covers it and Lynkk does not. Fathom's free plan is also the more generous of the two on raw capture. The full view is on the Lynkk vs Fathom comparison.
