Fellow

Overview

Fellow turns meetings into records that can be revisited and acted on: a Meeting Recap brings together a summary, transcript, decisions, and identified action items. It covers Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, and in-person meetings, giving teams a common place for follow-up across several settings.

Capture can use a bot, or desktop and mobile apps can record audio directly without one joining the call. That botless option may suit meetings where a visible participant is unwelcome. Admins can configure consent workflows, and users can pause and resume recording for off-the-record discussions.

Key features

Records built for follow-through

Fellow combines recording, transcription, speaker labels, summaries, and action-item tracking. The searchable archive and Ask Fellow extend the value of those outputs: users can search transcripts, summaries, and notes across past meetings, ask questions, and surface decisions or action items. This is useful for teams that need to recover context without replaying calls, though the product’s value depends on having meeting records worth searching.

Language and workflow coverage

The AI Note Taker supports transcription in 93 languages, while Fellow also lists 99 transcription languages. That distinction matters for teams choosing on language coverage; they should confirm the relevant language against the note-taking feature they plan to use. Calendar integrations, note templates, and connections to more than 50 tools—including Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Trello, GitHub, Claude, Zapier, Glean, and Global Relay—make it relevant beyond simple call capture.

For organizations with stricter controls, Fellow is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA-eligible, GDPR compliant, and CCPA compliant. Meeting data is not used to train Fellow or third-party AI models, including on Free. Admins can set retention policies, including optional zero-day retention; Enterprise adds RBAC, SSO/SAML, provisioning, audit logs, and a Super Admin API. All plans include chat and email support, with onboarding and dedicated account management on higher tiers.

Pricing

Fellow is freemium, with a 14-day trial. When the trial ends, the workspace moves to Free. Workspaces are billed monthly or yearly based on active users at the start of the billing cycle; credit card, check, and bank transfer are accepted.

• Free — 0.00 USD per free, billed billed annually: For getting started, with 5 AI notes and 5 AI recordings per user for life and a maximum of 5 seats. The lifetime quotas are a real constraint for regular use, not a monthly allowance.
• Team — 7.00 USD per month per user, billed annually; $11 billed monthly: For small teams, with 10 AI notes per user per month, 10 AI recordings per user, and a maximum of 20 seats. It lifts the lifetime cap but keeps usage finite.
• Business — 15.00 USD per month per user, billed annually; $23 billed monthly: For organization-wide AI meeting support, with unlimited AI notes and recordings and up to 50 seats. It fits teams whose recurring volume makes Team quotas restrictive.
• Enterprise — 25.00 USD per month per user, billed annually; contact sales: For advanced controls, security, and AI meeting support, with unlimited notes and recordings, a 10-user minimum, and no maximum seat count. Custom pricing and a larger minimum make it a poor fit for small teams.

Free includes the same no-training policy as paid plans, but its lifetime limits and five-seat ceiling make it better for initial evaluation than sustained team-wide capture.

Platforms

Fellow supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, browser extension, and API access. The breadth gives teams desktop and mobile choices as well as an integration route.

Who it's for

Fellow is strongest for teams that need meeting records to feed follow-up work, particularly when they rely on searchable decisions and action items across many calls. Its compliance posture, retention settings, and Enterprise controls also make it worth considering for organizations with administrative requirements. It is less compelling for an individual seeking generous free transcription: Free is limited by lifetime quotas and five seats, while moving to unlimited usage begins at Business.

Pros and cons

• Useful follow-through: Recaps combine transcripts, decisions, summaries, and action items, with search across past meeting material.
• Flexible capture: Bot capture and direct desktop or mobile audio capture serve different meeting settings.
• Strong administrative options: Retention controls, consent workflows, and Enterprise identity and audit tools address governance needs.
• Restrictive Free allowance: Five notes and five recordings per user for life are quickly exhausted by regular use.
• Language count needs checking: The AI Note Taker’s 93-language support differs from the separate 99-language transcription figure.
• Unlimited use costs more: Business is the first plan with unlimited notes and recordings, at 15.00 USD per month per user billed annually.

Verdict

Fellow is a strong fit for teams that want meeting capture to produce searchable decisions and assigned follow-up, backed by flexible recording and serious administrative controls. Its main trade-off is the cost of sustainable volume: the Free allowance is lifetime-capped, Team remains quota-based, and unlimited notes and recordings start with Business. Choose it when those structured outputs matter; look elsewhere if a generous free transcription allowance is the priority.
