Fathom's "free forever" pitch is the best in category — unlimited recordings, unlimited transcription, unlimited storage. They fund it with Series A capital and B2B expansion at $15-25/seat. The catch: free is public-link only, and team pricing is per-seat. We're a sustainable indie alternative — flat $9, private by default, sales-trained AI.

Gauge never auto-joins your meetings. We don't train on your audio. Your data is GDPR-ready and yours to delete. Fathom requires a bot in the room — we don't. You upload the recording, you stay in control.
Two reasons. First, Fathom's free is public-link only — your meetings become Google-indexed pages. If privacy matters, that's a no-go. Second, Fathom Team is $15/seat × 5 = $75/mo. Our Pro is $9 flat. If you have a team and want private + flat-rate, we're cheaper than Fathom's paid tier.
Fathom's UI is genuinely best-in-class — we won't pretend otherwise. Our UI is clean and fast but not Fathom's polish. If UI is your #1 criterion, Fathom wins. If private + flat-rate + sales AI matter more, we win.
Fathom added a bot-free mode in 2024 — catching up to the privacy concern Otter triggered. We were bot-free from day 1. We never auto-join, we don't have a 'mode' for it — it's the only mode.
Fathom's free is funded by $20M+ in Series A capital — it's a customer-acquisition weapon, not a sustainable tier. When the funding runs out, pricing changes. We chose 300 min/mo because it's sustainable at $0.40/user/mo cost. You're not the product.
