AgreeDo vs Convene

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.
