Comparison
Fathom is a meeting recorder with a generous free plan. Its bot joins Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, its Mac app can record without a bot, and its paid plans lean toward sales teams, with CRM sync, deal views and call scorecards.Lynkk is an AI note taker for the same three platforms, with a bot or with no bot through the Mac app and the Chrome extension, and it records meetings in a room too. Every recording becomes a transcript, a summary and action items you can send to Jira, and on Pro you can ask one question across all of them.

Lynkk's side checked against the product on
Fair is fair
If one of these matters most to you, Fathom is likely the better tool, and it is better to know that now.
Fathom's free plan records, transcribes and stores your calls without a monthly cap and keeps them until you delete them. Lynkk's free plan has no cap on notes either, but its AI notes stop after the first 5 hours in total, while Fathom's advanced summaries come back every month. If cost is the deciding factor and your calls are online, Fathom gives more for nothing.
Fathom syncs to Salesforce, HubSpot and Close, fills CRM fields on its Business plan, and adds deal views and coaching scorecards. Lynkk has no CRM integration today.
Fathom has a Windows app and a Chrome extension for Meet, and it makes clips and highlight playlists from calls. Lynkk's app is Mac only, and it shares whole notes by link rather than clips.
Fathom lists 38 transcript languages, many of them European languages such as Polish, Czech, Greek and Swedish that are not on Lynkk's list of 17.
Where Lynkk fits
Each point sits beside the part of Lynkk it describes, drawn the way it looks in the app.
Lynkk records in-person meetings from the Mac app or the browser mic, and they become the same kind of note as your calls. Fathom lists in-person capture on iPhone as coming soon.
The web appLynkk Pro is $15 a month for one person and includes Ask Lynkk across all your notes, with the note and minute behind each part of the answer. Fathom's answers across all calls start on its Team plan, which needs at least two users.
Ask your meetingsEvery action item comes with an owner and a due date when one was said. Send them to Jira from the note, one issue per item, with the project and issue type you pick. Fathom's site lists Asana for tasks, not Jira.
Action itemsLynkk has a Hinglish mode that follows speakers as they switch between Hindi and English mid-sentence, plus Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Bengali in beta. Fathom lists Hindi but none of those four.
