Fathom earned its 5.0-star G2 rating (6,500+ reviews) with a genuinely generous free plan and the smoothest UX in the category. If you need personal meeting notes, it's excellent. But it's a notetaker, not a deal-intelligence system: no prospect research, no framework scoring, and team features live in paid tiers with a famously loud, visible bot.

Fathom's free plan is real and generous for individuals. Sales-team value (keyword alerts, playlists, coaching-ish features) starts at Team Edition $19–29/user/month — the same bracket as onCall's planned $29, without research or scoring.
No platform fee, no implementation fee, no AI credits, no minute caps. Every call gets pre-call research and a full 0–100 scored report.
For personal notes, keep Fathom — its free plan is genuinely good. onCall is for sales teams: pre-call prospect research, deal health and urgency scored 0–100 on MEDDIC, SPIN, or BANT, and a team pipeline dashboard. Fathom's team tiers cost $19–29/user/month — onCall plans the same $29 and is free during its private beta — without any of those.
Fathom's most-cited G2 complaint (415 mentions) is its loud, visible 'Fathom Notetaker' participant. onCall's bot is clearly but professionally named, joins only meetings you've allowed, and announces nothing mid-call.
Yes — 5 fully-scored calls, free during our private beta, no credit card, with pre-call research and complete post-call reports included. Fathom's free plan offers unlimited recordings but caps AI summaries at 5/month and includes no deal scoring at any price.
