Best fit

Who each tool is for

Fellow

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants coordinating tasks and follow-ups from client calls.

Why pick it: Collaborative agendas plus action-item tracking turn meetings into accountable commitments. Best meeting tool for teams that need follow-through, not just transcripts.

Watch for: The Team plan caps AI notes at 10 per user per month, so a heavy client-call schedule needs Business ($15/user/mo annual, $23 monthly). Solo consultants who only need recordings and summaries can also compare Fathom or Otter.

Fireflies

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants building reusable knowledge from recorded meetings.

Why pick it: Searchable conversation history turns past meetings into a knowledge base. Ask questions across all your calls and get answers with timestamps.

Watch for: If you mostly need live-call notes and next steps (not long-term search), Fathom is simpler and free.
