Which one fits you better?
Honest, no marketing fluff. Where Fathom is the right call, we say so.
Choose CATT if:
- Your audio is files rather than calendar invites: interviews, lectures, podcasts, field recordings
- You want templates for journalism, research and podcasting instead of sales-call frameworks
- You need caption exports (SRT, VTT) and a transcript editor with comments and version history
Choose Fathom if:
- You want unlimited meeting recording and transcription for $0, which their free plan genuinely gives
- You need CRM field sync, deal views and coaching scorecards for a sales team
- You need HIPAA with a signed BAA, or a capture mode where no bot visibly joins the call
Frequently asked
Yes. On any paid plan CATT transcribes the full file: upload a single 3-hour board meeting or 2-hour lecture and it transcribes all of it. Links and videos can run up to 24 hours each on a paid plan.
CATT Pro is $14.99/mo month-to-month, or $99.99/yr billed annually, with unlimited transcription. The pricing rows above list Fathom's plans and their limits, so you can compare the cost at your own volume.
It depends on the language. We support 99 languages with native-script output, and clear audio on the premium engine usually needs only light edits. A short test file in your language is the best check before you commit.
Yes. Sign up, drop a file, and you have a transcript with speaker labels in minutes. No data migration is needed because each file is independent.
