Fellow vs Granola

Fellow is an AI meeting assistant that records and transcribes meetings, then creates a Meeting Recap with summaries, decisions and action items. It captures meetings through a bot, or its desktop and mobile apps can record audio directly without a bot joining. Supported settings include Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles and in-person meetings. Ask Fellow searches transcripts, summaries and notes from past meetings to answer questions or surface decisions and tasks. The service lists transcription in 99 languages, while its AI Note Taker description specifies 93. It is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and web, plus an extension and API. The Free plan includes five AI notes and five AI recordings per user for life, with a maximum of five seats. Paid plans start at $7/user/mo billed annually; a 14-day trial is listed, and the workspace moves to Free when the trial ends. Meeting data is not used to train Fellow or third-party AI models, including on Free.

Granola is a meeting-notes application that captures desktop meetings, transcribes them, and creates summaries and action items. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Huddles, and in-person meetings, and offers transcription in 32 languages. Calendar integrations are available. The software runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Granola uses a freemium model. The Basic plan costs nothing per month and keeps 30 days of meeting history. Business costs $14 per user per month and provides unlimited meeting notes and history. Enterprise costs $35 per user per month and adds enterprise security and administration, single sign-on, priority support, usage analytics, organization-wide auto-deletion periods, and controls for sharing and API access. This separates limited free history from unlimited history and broader organizational controls.
