Our verdict: Fathom
Best for small businesses and independents who want a free, unlimited AI notetaker to sync their meetings to a CRM with no upfront budget. Not for you if your team needs a French-language interface or European data hosting: Fathom remains English-only and stores everything in the United States, with GDPR compliance that relies on requesting a DPA separately.
Our verdict: Otter.ai
Solid for transcription, but noticeably more at ease in English than French. For French meetings, Fireflies is often a better choice.
