Fellow vs Wudpecker

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.

Wudpecker records meetings and turns them into searchable transcripts and organized follow-up. It provides AI summaries, speaker labels, action-item tracking, and note templates, while its archive lets users search past meeting material. Wudpecker is available on web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The Free plan costs nothing and is billed monthly; it allows 10 meetings per month with the notetaker bot and 3 Ask AI questions per recording. Plus costs $19 a month, billed monthly, and includes 30 meetings per month with the bot. Pro costs $32 a month, billed monthly, with 100 bot meetings per month. The pricing note describes paid access as starting from $19/user/mo and lists a 14-day trial. The plan limits are centered on monthly meeting volume, so the relevant tier depends on how many meetings need bot coverage. Transcription, summaries, speaker labeling, and action items provide a set of tools for capturing conversations and locating their follow-up later.
