  • Each has a real cost: Fathom team plan requires minimum 2 users; cannot purchase single seat at team pricing; ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate
  • They diverge on capability: Fathom covers Auto-recording, ProofHub covers Tasks.
