Springbase vs Fathom

Fathom gives you the recording.Springbase gives you the result.

Fathom records the meeting and writes the summary. Then every tool that turns that summary into actual work — the AI you ask questions, the automation layer, the place documents get written — is a separate product on a separate invoice, around $70 a person once you add them up. Springbase is one subscription, from $9.99.

Why teams move from Fathom to Springbase

Every Fathom figure on this page comes from their own published pricing and links back to it. Here is what one subscription replaces.

One subscription instead of four

Fathom records the meeting. The AI you ask questions, the tool that moves work between apps, and the place documents get written are three more products on three more invoices — roughly $70 per person per month at list price. Springbase covers all four jobs from $9.99.

Flat price, no seat minimums

Fathom Team and Business are billed per user with a two-user minimum, and Premium caps CRM sync at three users per domain. Springbase is one flat price with no per-seat billing and no minimum, whatever the size of the team.

From summary to finished deliverable

Fathom stops at the summary. Plan Mode turns the same call into editable steps you approve before anything runs, Canvas produces the actual document or dashboard, and agents act across 1,000+ apps with a human check before sending.

Inside Springbase

The part Fathom leaves to other software

1

The AI you'd buy anyway, included

Fathom has no general AI chat — that is a second subscription. Springbase includes 43 models on Starter and all 61 on Pro, so the same workspace that recorded the call is the one you ask to draft, analyse, and research.

2

Recordings become searchable context

Every transcript is indexed and citable. Ask what a customer objected to last quarter and the answer points at the moment it was said — then attach that meeting to a plan and the work starts from the facts.

3

Agents that do the follow-through

Fathom syncs to your CRM and fires Zaps. Springbase agents reason about what the meeting actually needs — the follow-up, the ticket, the updated record — across 1,000+ connected apps, pausing for your approval before anything is sent.

The real comparison

Fathom is the cheap line on the invoice

It is the rest of the stack that costs money. Per person, per month, at list price, billed monthly:

Springbase Starter does all three jobs — meetings, the AI you ask, and agents that move work between apps. Pro at $19.99 adds every frontier model and still comes in under a single ChatGPT Plus seat.

Keep Fathom's free plan running alongside it for as long as you like.

Two practical notes before you start: we cannot import your existing Fathom recordings, so Springbase begins from your next meeting, and we capture audio rather than video — what persists is the transcript and the work built from it.

Questions people actually ask

How do the free plans compare?

They are built for different things. Fathom's free plan is a free notetaker; ours is a free trial of an entire workspace — 5 meetings a month plus 43 AI models, Plan Mode, Canvas, and agents. On paid plans both are unlimited, and ours is half the price at $9.99 against their $20.

Does Springbase record video?

We capture audio and keep the transcript rather than a video library — which means a much smaller storage and compliance footprint, and everything in the conversation is still searchable, citable, and usable as context for later work.

What do I get for $9.99 that Fathom does not do?

43 AI models to ask anything, Plan Mode for turning a goal into approved steps, Canvas for producing finished documents and dashboards, and agents that act across 1,000+ apps — all grounded in your meetings. Fathom is a meeting product; this is a workspace that also captures meetings.

Do you bill per seat?

No. Springbase plans are one flat price with no per-seat billing and no seat minimums. Fathom's Team and Business plans are per user with a two-user minimum.

Can I import my Fathom recordings?

No. There is no bulk migration. You can upload individual audio files, but your Fathom library stays in Fathom.

Keep Fathom. Add the follow-through.

Start free and put Springbase on a week of real calls. The difference shows up on Friday, in what you have finished rather than what you have summarised.
