Fathom gives away what most notetakers meter, and the free tier is unlimited rather than a trial dressed up as one. It records your Zoom and Meet calls, then writes summaries and action items you can push straight into Salesforce. The Notetaker bot still shows up in the participant list, so it reads better for internal calls than a sensitive client pitch.
