Fellow vs MeetingNotes by SmartKit

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.

MeetingNotes by SmartKit helps teams prepare agendas, capture minutes, record decisions, assign action items, and share meeting summaries. Agendas can use time-boxed topics with owners, while discussion notes attach to those agenda items during the meeting. A decision register records who made each decision and when. Action items include an owner and due date, and unfinished items can carry forward automatically to the next meeting. Attendance tracking covers invitees, attendees, and apologies. Arabic and Urdu text are supported with right-to-left layouts and Unicode-safe rendering. Teams can share professional summaries and create printable PDFs. SmartKit presents MeetingNotes for teams, boards, committees, schools, standups, and recurring reviews. The product is described as mobile-first and available through SmartKit; its page does not identify a separate downloadable app. SmartKit says content stays in the creator’s workspace and is shared through selected access controls. The Free plan costs nothing, with no specific usage limits stated.
