Best fit
Who each tool is for
Fireflies
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants building reusable knowledge from recorded meetings.
Why pick it: Searchable conversation history turns past meetings into a knowledge base. Ask questions across all your calls and get answers with timestamps.
Watch for: If you mostly need live-call notes and next steps (not long-term search), Fathom is simpler and free.
Loom
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants onboarding clients, explaining deliverables, or replacing status update meetings.
Why pick it: A 3-minute Loom replaces a 30-minute meeting. View tracking shows you which clients watched and which need a nudge.
Watch for: If your clients prefer live interaction for everything, async video adds friction instead of removing it.
