Our Verdict
What is Fellow
Fellow is a meeting and productivity tool that’s laser-focused on making team collaboration more structured and meaningful. Instead of meetings feeling like time drains, Fellow helps turn them into actionable sessions. The standout feature is its collaborative meeting agendas—everyone can add topics beforehand so discussions are clear and productive.
During the meeting, teams can take shared notes and minutes, assign action items, and keep everything stored in one place. This helps a lot with accountability—no more “who was supposed to do that?” after the call. Managers will appreciate the 1-on-1 meeting templates that guide conversations with employees, while the feedback and performance features encourage continuous improvement.
Integration-wise, Fellow plugs into Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, Zoom, and Teams, so it fits into most existing workflows without friction. After the meeting, it even generates recaps and follow-ups automatically, keeping the whole team aligned.
It also goes beyond meetings by offering OKR and goal tracking, plus a library of templates and best practices for managers who want to improve how they run sessions.
Is Fellow worth registering and paying for
If your team spends a lot of time in meetings, then yes—Fellow can be worth the investment. The platform does more than just provide a shared note-taking space; it actively helps teams create structure, track accountability, and stay aligned with goals. Managers in particular will benefit from its 1-on-1 templates, feedback tools, and automatic recaps, which can save hours of follow-up work each week.
That said, the value really depends on team adoption. If only a couple of people use it, you won’t get much out of it. But for teams that want to tighten up their meeting culture and improve collaboration, Fellow is one of the stronger tools in this space, and the cost is often justified by the time saved and improved clarity.
Our experience
Our experience with Fellow for a team project managing a client’s product development sprint was transformative, making our collaborative workflow seamless, efficient, and highly empowering. As a team of mixed-skill members—including a project manager, a product designer, and a team lead—we needed a tool that enabled everyone to contribute while structuring meetings and tracking action items effectively. Fellow’s collaborative agendas, shared note-taking, action item assignments, and integrations with Google Calendar, Slack, and Zoom empowered our team to run focused meetings and maintain accountability, though we faced some challenges with the learning curve for template customization and pricing clarity for smaller teams.
Our project manager found Fellow’s collaborative agendas to be a game-changer, allowing the team to add discussion topics in advance via shared templates, reducing meeting prep time by up to 60%. We collaborated to refine agendas, sparking discussions to align on sprint priorities and client deliverables. The product designer used real-time note-taking to capture ideas during Zoom calls, ensuring all insights were documented and accessible.
Collaboration thrived with Fellow’s action item assignments and integrations. We assigned tasks during meetings, syncing them to Slack and Asana for real-time updates, which our team lead tracked to ensure follow-through. Shared meeting recaps, automatically generated and shared via secure links, enabled quick client feedback, which we reviewed in team huddles to adjust plans. The 1-on-1 templates and OKR tracking helped our team lead conduct focused performance reviews, though non-technical members found customizing templates initially complex.
Features like feedback prompts and a template library streamlined meeting efficiency, but pricing for the Pro plan (~$6/month per user, billed annually) felt unclear for smaller teams, and the free plan limited advanced features like OKR tracking. Fellow’s SOC 2 compliance and secure data storage ensured reliable performance. This aligns with our prior discussion on April 21, 2025, where you explored Fellow’s efficiency for meeting management, noting its Slack integration.
Our team’s experience with Fellow was cohesive, empowering, and made us feel like a unified force capable of running productive meetings and tracking outcomes. It’s ideal for managers, project teams, or mixed-skill groups looking to collaborate on structured workflows. If your team wants to streamline meetings and accountability while working together, Fellow is definitely worth checking out, though consider support for template customization and budgeting for smaller teams.
