Variable Filter category of 7 filters including the Newtonian Zero Delay.
Save and Load user waves in WAV format for export to other synths.
Fractal Reverb.
Fathom Mono is not polyphonic and CM is.
Fathom Mono does not have either the Variable or Analog Filter categories.
Mono vs Pro features are here.

I can't imagine why anyone would not want to subscribe to CM since it has at least 80 free plugins which include most of the best synths in the world such as Thorn, Dune, Synthmaster, u-he Zebra.
Also keep in mind there are several thousand soft synths, and knowing which ones to try is basically impossible without relying on a good review magazine like CM or BPB. CM does all this work for you by showcasing only the ones worth trying.
I can vouch for the fact that they put a lot of effort into this and make the decision based on how good a synth is not just if there is buzz or pretty graphics. Fathom was actually a good example. CM had their eyes on Fathom for a good 18 months before they went ahead with the article and they introduced Fathom to their readers only when they decided that the features and quality passed the bar.
I personally have experienced the agony of spending $500 on a soft synth I ended up not being able to use it because of sound quality issues, and if I had been subscribing to CM at the time I would have avoided this. So imho subscribing to CM is basically a no-brainer.
and i know what you mean about wasting money , i dont do that any more so i know what you mean , can you name the synth you paid 500 smackers for ?
