Notabium vs Fathom.
Previous-version reference. This page documents the previous product. The features described below are not available in the current release.
Fathom always puts a bot in your meeting. Notabium lets you record in your browser or send the Notabium Notetaker - your choice, per call. Pick the line that matters more to you.
The two pieces that matter
Fathom built its reputation on unlimited transcription. The catch: it is always a bot. Fathom Note Taker joins your meeting as a visible participant, and the audio is uploaded to Fathom's servers.

Pick Fathom if
- You need a mobile app and Notabium's lack of one is a deal breaker.
- You have already standardised on Fathom's Zoom and Salesforce integrations and the swap is not worth the friction.
- The bot in your meeting is not a problem in your industry.
Pick Notabium if
- An always-on bot is a problem (sales, therapy, legal, medical).
- You want to record from your browser when you attend, with nothing extra joining the call.
- You want recording, transcription, AI summaries, and chat in your browser, with the notetaker in the same app.
- You want to send the notetaker only to the meetings you cannot attend, not every call.
New recordings, uploads, transcription, AI tools, meeting bots and subscriptions are temporarily unavailable.
