Is this different from the Fathom version?

TranscriptExporter has separate versions for different meeting platforms:

  • TranscriptExporter for Fireflies - Uses Fireflies API, requires API key
  • TranscriptExporter for Fathom - Official Fathom partner, uses OAuth

Each version is a separate $29 purchase. If you use both platforms, you'll need both licenses.
