What you give up either way
- Enterprise-grade security certifications (SOC 2 Type 1, ISO 27001) and compliance work
- Breadth of native integrations and connector maintenance (many accounting systems and Excel/Sheets flows)
- Polished UI, scheduled report delivery, multi-company consolidation UI and benchmarking
- Customer support, SLAs and training/certification resources
- Scale-tested reliability and backup/operations of a managed service
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Fathom HQ, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
