Fathom pricing (2026): what the free plan includes and what each paid plan costs

Fathom's pricing page, checked 5 November 2026: a free plan for individuals, Premium at $20 a month, Team at $19 and Business at $34 per user with a 2-user minimum, and Enterprise at $35 per user billed annually. What each tier adds and what a 5-person team pays.

Fathom has five plans. Two are for individuals: Free and Premium. Three are for teams: Team, Business, and Enterprise. Every published price is per user per month, and annual billing lowers it. The free plan is the one most people search for, so this page starts there.

Everything below comes from Fathom's pricing page and Fathom's help center. We checked the help center on 21 October 2026 and the pricing page again on 5 November 2026. Fathom changes plans from time to time, so check the page before you buy. For what the product is like to use, read our Fathom AI review.

The billing toggle on the pricing page says "save 25%+" for annual. By our arithmetic the annual discount is 20% on Premium, about 21% on Team, and about 26% on Business. Every paid plan lists a 90-day guarantee.

What the free plan includes

Fathom labels the free plan "Free forever." Its card lists unlimited recordings and transcriptions, instant AI call summaries, clips, playlists, and search across your calls. The comparison table also marks unlimited call storage and unlimited call downloads as included on Free.

The free plan also gets the integrations. The table lists the Claude and ChatGPT integrations, the public API and MCP, and the Slack integration as included on Free. CRM sync is on Free too, capped at 3 users per domain.

The free plan does have limits. Advanced summaries, the 15-plus templates such as BANT and Sandler, are marked "limited use." So is Ask Fathom, the chat window for questions about a single call. AI action items and AI follow-up emails are not on Free at all. You cannot turn off the in-meeting banner or rename the bot on the free plan.

What Premium adds for $20 a month

Premium is the paid plan for one person. The card lists advanced call summaries, AI action items, the conversational meeting assistant, and a custom meeting bot. The table adds AI follow-up emails, unlimited Ask Fathom across your own calls, and the option to disable the in-meeting banner.

If you use Fathom alone and want action items written for you, Premium is the first plan that does it. At $16 a month on annual billing, that is $192 a year. Monthly billing comes to $240 a year.

Team and Business, priced per user

Team is $19 per user a month, or $15 on annual billing, with a 2-user minimum. It adds the shared parts: team members, a team recordings view, team folders, comments and mentions, keyword alerts, trackers, and search across team meetings. The smallest Team account costs $30 a month on annual billing.

Business is $34 per user a month, or $25 on annual billing, also with a 2-user minimum. Its additions are sales tools. It adds CRM field sync, which writes meeting details into specific CRM fields, plus Deal View, coaching metrics, and AI scorecards. CRM sync loses the 3-users-per-domain cap at this tier.

For a 5-person team, Team costs $900 a year on annual billing or $1,140 a year billed monthly. Business for the same 5 people costs $1,500 a year on annual billing or $2,040 billed monthly.

Enterprise and the HIPAA BAA

Enterprise is $35 per user a month, and the pricing page marks it annual only. You book it through a meeting with sales. It lists everything in Business plus single sign-on, Okta SCIM provisioning, organization-wide security controls, custom data retention policies, custom contracts, and a dedicated success manager.

The line that matters for health care is the HIPAA row. In early November 2026 Fathom changed it: Team and Business now list a "Standard BAA," and Enterprise is "Eligible for custom BAA." If your meetings include protected health information and you need a BAA from the vendor, Team is the cheapest plan that lists one. The free and Premium plans do not. Our post on which AI notetakers are HIPAA compliant lists where other vendors put their BAA.

Does the price change whether a bot joins?

No. Every plan, Free included, lists a choice of bot-free or bot capture. The bot-free mode is marked as a beta feature for Mac. Fathom's help center says the bot-free experience needs macOS 14.2 or newer and is rolling out in phases, and that Windows bot-free recording is in a limited Microsoft Teams alpha. Fathom's device support page says both Mac and Windows still run the previous experience, where Fathom joins the call.

In bot-free mode you pick a capture mode before each meeting. "Transcript Only" saves no recording and gives you a transcript and summary. "Audio Only" captures audio locally on your device. "Audio & Video" sends a bot into the meeting. Whichever you pick, the call, transcript and summary sit in your Fathom account, which is how a teammate you @mention gets access to it. Bot-free changes what shows up in the participant list. The transcript and summary are still stored on Fathom's service. We go through that difference in AI note takers that don't join your meeting.

Which Fathom plan to pick

If you are one person and summaries are enough, use the free plan. It includes unlimited recording and storage.

If you want action items and follow-up emails written for you, Premium at $16 a month on annual billing is the cheapest way to get them.

If two or more people need to share calls, Team is the entry point. Move to Business only if CRM field sync and sales coaching are why you are buying.

If you need a standard BAA, Team is the cheapest plan that lists one. If you need SSO, SCIM, a custom BAA, or custom retention, Enterprise is the only plan that lists them, at $35 per user a month billed annually.

When a local app costs less

Fathom's paid plans are subscriptions, and the team plans charge per user every month. Private Notetaker is priced differently. It is $15 a month or $149 once for a lifetime license, with a 7-day trial that needs no card or account. Purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee.

It also works differently. Private Notetaker runs on your Mac (Apple Silicon) or Windows PC, and the transcript, summary, and action items are written on that computer. The audio stays on the device. It works with Wi-Fi off, and nothing joins the call.

It also does less. Private Notetaker transcribes English only, has no team workspace, keeps no video, and has no CRM sync. If shared call libraries and sales tooling are what you need, Fathom's Team or Business plan is the better match. If you want notes for your own meetings and you would prefer the audio never reach a vendor, the $149 license costs less than one year of Fathom Premium on annual billing. You can try it for 7 days first.
