Best fit
Best for: Consultants running strategy workshops, brainstorming sessions, and framework exercises with clients.
Why pick it: 5,000+ templates cover every major consulting framework out of the box. Real-time collaboration with voting, timers, and private brainstorming mode prevents groupthink, and Miro AI can draft boards and summaries from a prompt.
Watch for: Overkill for simple note-taking or async document collaboration. Use Notion if you need a knowledge base, not a whiteboard.
Best for: Consultants who want meeting analytics beyond transcription — engagement scoring, talk-time balance, and sentiment signals.
Why pick it: Engagement scoring is the differentiator. You see who was engaged, who was distracted, and how balanced the conversation was — data no other note-taker provides. Useful for client workshops where participation matters.
Watch for: If you only need transcripts and summaries, Fathom or Otter are simpler and cheaper. Engagement analytics add overhead if you do not use them.
