Pros / Cons
  • We recently switched to Fathom, and the difference was immediate—full video recording on Google Meet, smarter summaries, and better action item tracking really leveled up our post-meeting process.
  • In meetings with layered topics or fast-paced discussion, Otter often lost the thread and produced generic summaries.

  • The right tool: a large multilingual audio file (English and French) was transcribed into text with time codes - very good results.
  • Secondly, the pricing structure is unclear and WAY too expensive for what it is. And my favorite part - when I reached out to support because I panicked when I saw what was charged to my account, they were VERY rude and antagonizing rather than just explaining to me why I was charged that amount and trying to keep me as a customer.
