Fellow vs Read AI

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.

Read AI captures meetings and provides transcription, summaries and action items. Its meeting bot supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, and calendar integrations are available. The service is listed for web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and it also supports file uploads. The product listing gives a transcription-language count of 16. The free plan is always free, requires no credit card and allows five meetings per month; its plan details list support for 20+ languages. Paid plans are billed annually: Pro costs $15 a month and includes 100 file upload credits per month. Enterprise costs $22.50 a month with 200 credits, while Enterprise+ costs $29.75 a month with 300 credits and requires at least five licenses. The different language counts given for transcription and the free plan may matter when checking suitability for a particular meeting. Read AI was founded in 2021 and is based in Seattle, Washington, United States.
