Workcom is the better choice if you need:
Fellow is ideal if you prioritize:
1. Team sentiment tracking (Fellow doesn't have this): Workcom is the only tool that combines 1:1 meeting management with real-time team sentiment tracking. You can see how your team is doing between meetings, not just during them. This is critical because research shows that 50% of employees rate their 1:1 experiences as suboptimal, and issues often develop between meetings.
2. Well-being monitoring: Workcom tracks workload, environment, support, and morale continuously. Fellow focuses on meeting productivity but has no way to monitor team health. This means you might have great meeting notes but miss that an employee is burning out.
3. Manager dashboard: Workcom provides a clear view of team sentiment over time, helping you spot trends and patterns. Fellow shows you meeting history but not team health trends.
4. Prevention-focused: Workcom helps you catch problems early. Fellow helps you document what happened. Both are valuable, but Workcom's approach helps prevent the retention issues that cost organizations thousands.
1. AI transcription and summaries: Fellow's AI capabilities are more advanced, with automatic transcription and intelligent meeting summaries. This saves time on note-taking.
2. Extensive template library: 500+ meeting templates covering every conversation type. Workcom has built-in templates, but Fellow's library is more extensive.
3. Video platform integration: Deep integrations with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet make it seamless to manage meetings within those platforms.
4. Meeting productivity focus: If your only goal is better meeting notes and action items, Fellow is purpose-built for this and does it exceptionally well.
Research shows that 42.4% of 1:1 meetings are rescheduled weekly, and 29.6% are cancelled. Employees with twice as many 1:1s are 67% less likely to be disengaged. Both Workcom and Fellow help with meeting consistency, but Workcom adds the critical element of team health monitoring.
Additionally, 67% of employees disengage due to burnout. Fellow helps you run better meetings, but it can't tell you if your team is burning out between meetings. Workcom's sentiment tracking fills this gap.
Research also shows that managers account for 70% of variance in employee engagement. Workcom's manager dashboard helps you see engagement trends across your team, while Fellow focuses on individual meeting quality.
Workcom: $6-9 per user per month, with a free plan for up to 4 employees. Transparent pricing focused on mid-market teams.
Fellow: $5-12 per user per month depending on features. Similar pricing structure, with AI features typically in higher tiers.
Pricing is comparable, but the value proposition differs. Fellow delivers excellent meeting productivity features. Workcom adds team sentiment tracking and well-being monitoring that Fellow doesn't offer at any price point.
Some teams use Fellow for meeting productivity (AI transcription, templates) and Workcom for team sentiment tracking. However, this creates tool fragmentation and additional cost. Workcom provides solid meeting management features plus the well-being tracking that Fellow lacks, making it a more complete solution for managers who want both.
Choose Workcom if you want to combine effective 1:1 meetings with team sentiment tracking and well-being monitoring. Perfect for managers who want to prevent problems, not just document them.
Choose Fellow if you only need better meeting productivity—AI transcription, templates, and action items. Fellow excels at this, but it doesn't help you understand how your team is doing between meetings.
Many managers find that Workcom's combination of meeting management and team health monitoring delivers better outcomes than tools that only focus on meeting productivity. The sentiment tracking helps you catch issues early, and the meeting features ensure those issues get addressed effectively.
