Fellow.ai Review

Fellow.ai, an AI meeting assistant, records online and in-person meetings, and admins can switch on a notice that tells participants it is recording. Your data never trains its AI, and while the cheapest paid plan caps AI notes, higher tiers make them unlimited.

The verdict

Fellow.ai suits teams that want in-person and online meetings recorded without their data training AI; the cheapest paid tier still caps AI notes, so heavy users need a higher tier.

Pros

  • Botless Recording captures, transcribes and summarizes meetings without a bot joining the call, working across Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom and Slack huddles.
  • Fellow's AI is never trained on your data.
  • Fellow holds SOC 2 Type II certification and is HIPAA and GDPR compliant.
  • Fellow runs an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can tap directly into meeting recaps, notes and action items.

Cons

  • The free plan gives only 5 AI notes and 5 AI recordings for the life of the account, not a monthly allowance.
  • Fellow offers no shareable clips or highlights from meeting recordings.
  • Team, the cheapest paid plan, still caps AI notes and recordings at 10 per user each month; unlimited use starts on Business.

Why these numbers

Languages it transcribes: The pricing page's feature comparison table separately says "AI meeting transcription (100+ languages)"; the dedicated transcription feature page's specific 99 figure was preferred.

Meeting apps it records: Counted from meeting_platforms. No mention of Webex found.

Keeps the meeting video: Homepage. The desktop app's record menu also says Bot recording = video and audio, botless = audio only; our test recordings play back with video.

Records in-person meetings: Also stated on the botless-recording feature page.

Cuts and shares clips: Checked the recording library, transcription and features overview pages for clip/highlight/snippet wording; found none. The product surfaces moments via Ask Fellow search, not shareable clips.

Why these numbers

Cheapest paid plan, monthly: Cheapest paid plan on the monthly term. Enterprise shows a $25/user/month annual reference price on the page itself but is sold as a custom quote ("Contact sales"); no separate monthly (non-annual) Enterprise figure is shown.

AI on the cheapest paid plan: Team plan raises the Free plan's lifetime cap to a monthly allowance but is still capped; Business is the first plan with "Unlimited AI notes" and "Unlimited AI recordings".

Why these numbers

Does not train AI on your data: Repeated as a banner line across multiple feature pages; the privacy policy itself does not use the word "train" but describes data only going to named sub-processors under contract.

Tells participants it is recording: Admin-configurable per-workspace setting, not on by default.

HIPAA: The pricing table separately lists "HIPAA / BAA compliance" as an Enterprise-plan line item, so a signed BAA appears to be an Enterprise-tier add-on even though general HIPAA compliance is stated company-wide.

Ways to reach support: Counted from support_channels. Chat & email support is listed across the comparison table (appears company-wide); help.fellow.ai is a linked help center. "Dedicated account manager" is a higher-plan addition.

How the Spec Score works

Scored from what Fellow.ai publishes on its own site. Not a hands-on test.

Compared with 20 AI meeting assistants. Facts checked 3 Nov 2026.

A fact the vendor does not publish gets half the points, or the typical value for a number, and says so. It never counts as a no. How we score.

Fellow is a meeting assistant that records and transcribes Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Slack huddles, either with a bot or bot-free through a desktop app. What decides whether it suits you is how much AI use you need each month, since the free plan gives only a handful of notes and recordings for the life of the account, not a monthly allowance.

What is Fellow?

Fellow is a company headquartered in Canada. It provides an AI meeting note taker with Botless Recording, a bot-free capture option, alongside a traditional bot that can join calls.

Fellow runs in the browser, with desktop apps for Windows and Mac and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

What Fellow captures from a meeting

Botless Recording captures, transcribes and summarizes meetings without a bot joining the call, working across Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom and Slack huddles, as well as in-person conversations. A bot can also join calls, and its avatar can be customized on the Business plan.

Transcripts cover 99 languages with automatic speaker identification. Custom note templates can be built from scratch, alongside Fellow's own templates for one-on-ones, sales calls, interviews and all-hands meetings.

Ask Fellow can search and answer questions across every meeting you have access to. Fellow syncs meeting data automatically to Salesforce and HubSpot, with advanced CRM integration and keyword tracking added on the Business plan.

Working with other people

Workspaces allow up to 20 seats on the Team plan, 50 on Business and unlimited seats on Enterprise. Fellow integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Freshworks, Notion, Confluence, Jira, Linear, Trello, Okta and Box.

API access is on the Business plan and up. Fellow also runs an MCP server, so AI chatbots like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can tap directly into meeting recaps, notes and action items. Single sign-on with Okta or OneLogin is available.

Fellow pricing: what each plan gives

Fellow.ai pricing screenshot
Fellow.ai, Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and gives 5 AI notes and 5 AI recordings for the life of the account, per user, plus audio and video uploads and integrations with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Slack.

Team costs $11 a month ($7 a month billed annually) per user, allows up to 20 seats, and raises the AI allowance to 10 notes and 10 recordings per user each month. Business costs $23 a month ($15 a month billed annually) per user, allows up to 50 seats, and moves to unlimited AI notes and recordings, plus API access, advanced CRM integration with Salesforce and HubSpot, and keyword tracking. Enterprise is sold as a custom quote, referenced at $25 a month per user billed annually, with unlimited seats.

For one person, Solo costs $29 a month ($19 a month billed annually) and gives unlimited AI notes and recordings, plus Ask Fellow, the AI assistant that answers questions about your meetings.

Privacy and security

Fellow's AI is never trained on your data. It holds SOC 2 Type II certification, with its security controls independently audited over an extended period.

Fellow is also HIPAA compliant and GDPR compliant; a signed HIPAA Business Associate Agreement is an Enterprise plan feature. Single sign-on with Okta or OneLogin is available.

Admins can turn on automatic pre-meeting disclosure emails to notify participants before a recorded meeting starts, though this is not on by default. Support runs through chat, email and a help center.

Who Fellow suits

Fellow suits teams in regulated or compliance sensitive industries that want a bot-free way to capture meetings across Teams, Meet, Zoom and Slack huddles, backed by SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR compliance. It also suits teams that want their meeting notes reachable from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through Fellow's MCP server.

It suits less well anyone who wants heavy AI use on the free plan, since the 5 notes and 5 recordings are a lifetime allowance rather than a monthly one. It also suits less well anyone who wants shareable clips or highlights from meetings, since Fellow surfaces moments through search rather than clips.
