A fair decision

When staying with Fathom makes sense.

A switch should solve a problem your team actually has.

You need a free meeting tool

Fathom offers free unlimited recording and transcription. Vesso’s business workspace is paid, with a 7-day trial. If recording is the whole job, a new CRM may be unnecessary.

Your current CRM works well

Fathom connects meeting insights to existing tools. If your team already likes its workflow, evaluate that integration before taking on a workspace migration.

You want a narrower rollout

Adopting Vesso means deciding how your team will use linked records, tasks and meeting workflows. Start with one real meeting and one deal to see whether that change earns its place.

Start with one conversation

Bring a transcript. Test the next step.

1. Choose a real meeting

Create a meeting in Vesso and link the relevant account, contact or deal. Choose a conversation with a concrete next step so you can judge the output against work you already understand.

2. Upload and review

Upload a VTT, SRT, TXT or JSON transcript, or paste the text. Review the speakers before importing. Vesso processes imported transcripts into meeting notes and follow-up drafts; choose a methodology for coaching analysis.

3. Put the output to work

Check the summary and decisions, convert a useful action item to a task, and edit the follow-up draft. Transcript import does not transfer the original audio, video or sharing permissions from Fathom.

FAQ

Questions about switching from Fathom.

Is Vesso a free Fathom alternative?

Vesso offers a 7-day free trial for its business workspace. It is a paid product after the trial. Use the calculator above to compare the plan for your team.

Can Vesso record without a bot?

Yes. Device recording captures your microphone and a shared meeting tab’s audio on supported desktop browsers. Enable tab audio when sharing. For in-person conversations, use microphone recording. You can also send the visible Vesso Notetaker to a supported meeting link.

Can I bring my existing Fathom transcripts?

You can upload exported VTT, SRT, TXT or JSON transcripts, or paste text into a Vesso meeting. Review the parsed speakers and text before importing. This is a transcript import, not a one-click migration of recordings or your entire Fathom account.

Does Vesso send follow-ups automatically?

Vesso generates a follow-up draft after the meeting notes are ready. Review and edit it before sending. You can also turn selected meeting action items into tasks with assignees.

Are all meeting AI features unlimited?

Business plans include unlimited meeting recording, AI meeting notes and prep briefs without drawing from credits. Live assist, screen reads and other AI actions use the plan’s credit allowance. Storage and other limits vary by plan; see the pricing page for details.
