What Fathom Is Great At - And Where It Hits a Ceiling

Fathom is a strong standalone meeting notetaker and for many teams it’s exactly what they need. But as deals get bigger and more complex, most teams start to feel a gap between what Fathom records on individual calls and the disciplined, account-based execution needed across channels and quarters.

Main OutcomesBetter recall of what was said in individual meetingsClosed execution loops, cleaner CRM data, and predictable pipeline

When Fathom alone is enough for the Basics

  • Fast, reliable recording and transcription of Zoom calls
  • Easy to review and share specific call moments
  • Helpful for coaching, onboarding, and call QA
  • Low-friction personal utility for individual reps
  • Great when you mostly need “what was said” in meetings

Where teams start to struggle with Just Fathom alone

  • Treats meetings as isolated events, not part of a full account journey
  • Action items live in meeting notes instead of becoming enforced workflows
  • Does not unify meetings with email, messaging, and offline touchpoints
  • Limited ability to keep CRM updated with structured, deal-level insights
  • Doesn’t answer: are we consistently executing across this account over time?
This is usually the point where teams don’t need another system of record - nor another standalone notetaker; they need an execution layer on top of what they already have, with note-taking built in.

Stack Synergy

How Klipy Complements (and Often Replaces) Fathom as an Execution Layer

Most teams don’t start by ripping out Fathom. They keep it or similar tools for a while and add Klipy as a light execution layer over the top. Over time, Klipy’s native notetaker plus its account-level workflows often make a separate notetaker redundant - because Klipy doesn’t just capture what was said; it makes sure something happens next.

KPI gains from Stacking Fathom + Klipy

  • Lift win rates on the opportunities you already have
  • Turn static pipeline “coverage” into actively worked deals
  • Tighten forecast confidence with interaction-based insights
  • Help new reps ramp faster by giving them instant account context

How Klipy makes this work with Fathom and more

Klipy was purpose-built to sit on top of the tools you already use - not replace them. Under the hood, 40+ specialized AI agents encode industry-tested SOPs from global enterprise sales teams across qualification, sales operations, and sales management.

Each agent focuses on a specific step in complex deal execution, so Klipy can quietly maximize the strengths of your current CRM, email, and analytics stack while filling the gaps they leave. Because Klipy is a focused execution layer - not an "all-in-one" platform that tries to do everything and excels at nothing - it plugs into your stack cleanly, drives better behavior across the team, and makes every other tool you've bought more valuable.

Klipy's Core Job on top of Fathom

  • Auto-captures meetings, emails, and messages into structured account timelines
  • Converts call insights and promises into concrete, prioritized follow-ups and drafts
  • Surfaces coverage gaps across stakeholders, channels, and stages
  • Feeds engagement truth back into your CRM and leadership reports

Real-World Examples

What This Looks Like in Practice

It’s easier to feel the difference in real situations than in a feature checklist. Here are a few familiar moments where teams feel the impact of using Klipy - with its built-in notetaker - either alongside or instead of Fathom.

Forecast Review

With Fathom only, you can replay important calls and scan transcripts, but whether a commit is real still depends on rep memory and manual CRM updates.

With Klipy, you see which deals have gone quiet since the last interaction, which are single-threaded, and which have unfulfilled promises - because every call, email, and message is summarized into account timelines and surfaced as risks and next steps.

Strategic Renewal or Expansion

With Fathom only, you have good notes from renewal meetings, but limited visibility into how sponsors and economic buyers have engaged between calls or via other channels.

With Klipy, you see the full engagement story: who attended which calls, who responded to which emails, who has gone dark, and what was promised. Klipy then suggests re-engagement paths with drafted outreach so you stay ahead of churn or stalled expansions.

New Rep Taking Over an Account

With Fathom only, a new rep inherits links to old recordings plus scattered notes and emails; they spend days reconstructing what happened and who matters.

With Klipy, they open a single view that combines every meeting summary, key email threads, messaging summaries, stakeholders, and open promises - plus a prioritized action list for their first week.

Rule of Thumb

Do You Need a New Tool - or a New Execution Layer?

When teams search for “Fathom alternatives,” the real question often isn’t “Which notetaker should we buy instead?” It’s “Do we actually need a different recorder, or do we need better execution across accounts on top of the calls and notes we already capture?”

Here are some quick rules of thumb to help you decide if Klipy is needed for your business.

Keep Fathom as your core tool if…

  • You mainly need a simple way to record and transcribe individual meetings.
  • Your sales motion is relatively simple and doesn’t rely heavily on multi-channel engagement.
  • Reps are disciplined enough to turn meeting notes into follow-ups without much system support.
  • Forecast risk and execution quality are not yet board-level concerns.

Add Klipy on top of Fathom if…

  • You have good meetings but still see deals and renewals slip or go quiet without warning.
  • A few “hero” reps keep everything straight across calls, email, and chat while others drown in notes.
  • You want meeting content, emails, and side-channel chats to roll up into one account story with clear next steps.
  • You need CRM and reports to reflect real buyer engagement - across channels - not just what’s captured on recordings.

You don’t need to rip out Fathom (yet). You need an execution layer that sits on top of it.
