Meeto vs Fathom: AI notetaker or AI summary in the call

Meeto's AI summary is built into Meeto's own calls: no bot joins, and everyone sees a notice while it runs. Meeto Pro costs $6.99 a month with the video meetings and 10 hours of AI summary included; Fathom Premium costs $20 per user a month on top of your meeting tool. Meeto does not use meeting content to train AI models; Fathom improves its own models with de-identified customer data.

Why people switch from Fathom to Meeto

  • The meeting tool and its notes are one product, with no bot joining.

  • Guests join from a browser link, with no account or app.

  • Meeting content is never used to train AI models.

  • Meetings, recording and summaries come for $6.99 a month in one account.

What does each company do with your meetings for AI?

The two policies differ in one place: whether the vendor improves its own models with your data.

  • Fathom says it uses de-identified customer data to improve the accuracy of its own AI models, and that you can opt out in your settings (Team Edition admins can opt out the whole account). Its AI sub-processors are contractually barred from training on users' data.
  • Meeto does not use meeting content to train AI models. Speech-to-text runs on Meeto's own servers, and summaries are written by OpenAI under a no-training commitment, as listed in the privacy policy.

If your clients or employer set rules for AI processing, read Meeto's security overview: the AI summary runs only when the host turns it on, and everyone in the call is shown that it is running.
