Comparison

AirGapScribe vs Fathom

Fathom is a popular notetaker for sales calls — but it's 100% cloud: it records via Zoom, Meet or Teams, and the free plan caps AI summaries at just 5 per month. If you work with confidential information, on a restricted corporate network, or need summaries without that cap, this is the real difference.

Honest comparison: we also include the rows where Fathom has the edge (sales call metrics, CRM integrations). This isn't a stacked table.

Feature	AirGapScribe	Fathom
Audio processing	100% local, never leaves your machine	Cloud (uploaded to their servers)
Bot on the call	No bot needed	Yes, records via Zoom/Meet/Teams
Works without internet	Yes, after installation	No, requires a constant connection
Restricted corporate networks	Works behind strict firewalls	Frequently blocked by IT
Free plan	Sessions up to 10 min, unlimited over time	Unlimited recording, but only 5 AI summaries/mo
Paid plan	$5.99/mo or $49/yr	From $15/seat/mo (billed annually)
Speaker diarization	Yes	Yes
Sales call metrics (talk-time, scorecards)	No, not its focus	Yes
Mobile apps	No — Windows desktop only	iOS (built for in-person conversations, not virtual meetings)
CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce)	No	Yes

When should you choose AirGapScribe?

You work with confidential data (legal, healthcare, banking) that can't leave the machine
Your corporate network blocks tools that upload audio to external servers
You don't want a monthly AI summary cap on the free plan

When might Fathom be better?

Your team makes sales calls and needs scorecard and talk-time metrics
You want direct integration with HubSpot, Salesforce or Close
You use an iPhone and value having a mobile app (though built for in-person conversations, not virtual meetings)
