Both generate summaries, next steps, and AI chat across meetings. Fireflies goes further on conversation intelligence — decision detection, sales signals, and voice agents on paid plans — while metering heavier AI with pooled credits. Fathom keeps its AI layer simpler and free of per-feature credits.
