4Minitz vs AgreeDo

4Minitz is a free, open-source web app for preparing meeting agendas, recording minutes and tracking topics and action items. Teams can create meeting series, invite participants, assign moderators and uploaders, and mark agenda topics as recurring. During meetings, users can record attendance, add information and assign actions to responsible people; logged-in invitees can see changes to current minutes in real time. Unfinished actions and open topics can carry forward, and search covers topic history and full text. Roles control who can edit, upload or view material. Re-finalizing a meeting adds a version number, while older finalized minutes cannot be changed through the normal workflow. Agendas, minutes and actions can be emailed, and finalized protocols can be exported as HTML, PDF or PDF/A when enabled by an administrator. The app can run in a browser or on self-hosted infrastructure and supports Docker. It uses Meteor JS, Node.js and MongoDB, with LDAP and Active Directory options for user import and authentication. A client can temporarily work offline and sync later, but closing a browser or tab before unsaved changes sync can lose them.

AgreeDo is a meeting tool for preparing agendas, turning them into minutes, and following up on assigned work. Participants can add ideas, comments, and results before a meeting, and an agenda can become minutes with one click. Users can assign and schedule tasks in the minutes, then filter task progress. For a follow-up meeting, AgreeDo can prepare an agenda from the minutes and carry ongoing tasks forward. Meeting minutes can provide direct access to Microsoft Teams, Webex, and GoToMeeting sessions. ICS calendar integration works with apps including Outlook and Google Calendar, while an Outlook plugin can add and access minutes from appointments. AgreeDo says meeting access uses HTTPS and participant permissions; public meetings can be password protected. In moderated meetings, only the creator can edit, while other participants can view and comment; closed meetings are read-only. The company says it does not use AI or recordings to take notes. The free Basic plan allows four meetings a month, three participants per meeting, and one attachment per meeting. Premium costs $7.90 a month, with annual billing offered at a 10% discount compared with monthly billing.
