Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chirp replace Fathom?
This is some text inside of a div block.

Yes. You don’t need two call recording tools. Does your tech stack and budget have room for 2, then sure? But you’ll find that Chirp is designed to call record + be a sales AI agent, so it has much broader capability. This means you’ll get more bang for buck.

Can I use both Chirp and Fathom together?
This is some text inside of a div block.

You can yes. Chirp records discreetly and doesn’t join your calls like Fathom. So it won’t overwhelm your prospects or customers if you’re using both. Some companies keep Fathom for general meeting notes, while sales teams use Chirp for deal-specific workflows.

Why not just use Fathom for sales?
This is some text inside of a div block.

Fathom captures notes, but it won’t update your CRM or surface deal health. Chirp does both automatically.
