KrispKrisp
Best when call quality itself is the problem — cleaning the live audio matters as much as the notes afterward.Krisp pairs real-time voice processing with an AI note taker. Noise cancellation and two-way accent conversion run live on the call, and capture is bot-free by default at the audio layer, with an optional bot for Zoom, Meet and Teams.

Fathom

How they stack up

Close on paper and split by shape. Krisp reaches meetings Fathom does not — mobile, in person, and any call on the device — and cleans the live audio. Fathom goes deeper once the call is online: engagement and multi-meeting analytics, sales signals and tracked topics, with an API and MCP on every plan.

Ways to capture meetings

Meeting assistants should fit naturally into your workflow. Whether you prefer automatic recording, bot participation, or manual uploads, meeting capture should require minimal effort.

Meeting Bot

Joins calls automatically via calendar sync. Lowest friction for Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

Krisp✓Fathom✓
Chrome Extension Recording

Captures the call right from a browser extension — no bot and no desktop app needed.

Krisp✓Fathom✓
Mobile App

Record from your phone — useful for in-person meetings or calls.

Krisp✓Fathom
Upload Audio/Video

Drop an existing recording file to get a transcript and summary.

Krisp✓Fathom
In-Person Recording

Capture conversations without a video call. Useful for field teams.

Desktop App

Native app for system-level audio capture.

As Your Team Scales, Consider

Recording a meeting is only the first step. Over time, organizations often realize that the real value lies in how meeting knowledge is captured, shared, and reused—helping teams stay aligned long after the conversation ends.

AI Capabilities

What happens after the recording

Fathom analyses more, from its Business plan: engagement analytics, per-person trends across meetings and sales signals. Krisp writes key points, action items and an outline shaped by a template editor, and answers across past meetings in chat, all unmetered on Core.

KrispFathom
KrispKrisp

Krisp transcribes in 16 languages, writes key points and action items, and generates an outline on request. A template editor shapes the summary, AI Chat answers across past meetings, and CRM connectors post notes onto records automatically. Automation is trigger-only: Zapier and webhooks fire outward, and the MCP server reads meeting data back out.

FathomFathom

Fathom writes the summary the moment the call ends and asks questions across the calls it has stored. Search reaches every stored call from the free plan, and the API and MCP server are on every plan too. Its published plans point automation at external connectors rather than a builder of its own.

Integrations

The Best Integrations Do More Than Connect Apps

The number of integrations tells part of the story. The real value comes from how effectively meeting insights move between tools, workflows, and teams.

Shared VisibilityImportant discussions, decisions, and action items remain accessible to the people who need them—even if they weren't in the meeting.

Beyond the Integration List

API Access
If your team uses custom tools or internal dashboards, the API lets you pull meeting data — transcripts, summaries, action items — exactly where you need it.
MCP Support
A newer standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor read your meeting data directly. No developer needed.
KrispKrisp
Named Connectors
Slack, Notion, Zapier, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Affinity from Core, with Salesforce and ConnectWise added at Advanced. The CRM connectors can post meeting notes onto a contact, company or deal automatically after each meeting. A public API and MCP server are available from Core; the MCP tools read meeting data out, and the API is read-dominant.
FathomFathom
Open Extensibility
Fathom exposes a Public API and an MCP server on every plan, plus ChatGPT and Claude connections, and pushes into Slack, Microsoft Teams and CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce. Zapier and Make cover the long tail. It favors piping meeting data into your own tools over an in-app workflow builder.
MeetGeek
Automation
Uses a REST API with webhooks — data flows into your tools the moment a call ends. MCP Server connects meeting data directly to models like ChatGPT, Claude, or your own AI. Better suited for real-time automation and broader AI workflow integration.Explore MeetGeek

FathomChoose Fathom if…
✓You want engagement and per-person trends reported across meetings, and the Business plan is in budget.
✓You coach a revenue team and want sales signals and tracked topics in the same tool.
