# Fellow.app alternative. Meet Brifo

Fellow is built for managers who run structured meetings with agendas. Brifo is built for capture-first users who want bot-free local audio with structured action items. Different problems.

## What is Fellow.app?

Meeting management platform with agendas, collaborative notes, and AI summaries. Strong on the 'before and after the meeting' workflow.

- **Founded:** 2017
- **Pricing:** Free for individuals with limited features; Pro: $7/user/mo (annual). Business: $10/user/mo. Enterprise: custom.
- **Platforms:** web, macos, windows, ios, android
- **Capture model:** hybrid
- **Integrations:** Slack, Jira, Asana, Trello, Linear, Notion, Zapier

## Cons of Fellow.app
- Meeting AI is added on top of an agenda product, not the core
- Recording uses a bot. Same disruption as Otter or Fireflies.
- Heavy product for users who just want capture and notes
- Cloud-only audio storage
- Needs team buy-in to use agendas effectively

## Why Brifo
- No bot. Local audio capture on macOS.
- Auto-detects meetings. No agenda or template required.
- Lighter footprint. Focused tool, not a workspace.
- Free during beta
- Native Jira, Linear, OpenProject filing

## Honest tradeoffs (Fellow.app wins on)
- Fellow's agenda plus collaborative notes flow is much stronger for managers running structured meetings
- Fellow has Windows plus mobile. Brifo is macOS only.
- Fellow's 1:1 templates and feedback workflows are unique

## Long-form
Fellow.app's core value isn't capturing meetings, it's structuring them. The agenda templates, collaborative real-time notes, action-item tracking, and 1:1 feedback loops are what make Fellow worth $7/user/mo for managers. AI summaries are a useful addition, not the product. Brifo's core value is the opposite: zero-effort capture with no behavioral change required. There's no agenda to set up, no template to fill, no bot to invite. You just have meetings on your Mac, and Brifo handles the rest. If you're a manager whose problem is 'meetings are unstructured and follow-through is poor', Fellow's agenda discipline will help more than any AI tool. If you're a knowledge worker whose problem is 'I run 6 meetings a day and can't keep up with notes and actions', Brifo's auto-capture solves that directly.

## FAQ
**Is Brifo a Fellow.app alternative?**

Yes for the meeting AI, notes, and action items part. Brifo doesn't replicate Fellow's agenda templates, collaborative note-taking, or 1:1 feedback flows. Those are Fellow's core strength.

**Why pick Brifo over Fellow?**

Pick Brifo if your problem is capture (you don't want to type during meetings, you want notes and action items automatically). Pick Fellow if your problem is structure (you want agendas and team-level meeting hygiene).

**Does Brifo have agenda templates?**

No. Brifo is capture-first. No agendas, no templates, no setup. Fellow's agenda product is well-built. We don't compete on that surface.

**Can I use both Brifo and Fellow?**

Yes. They solve different problems. Fellow for agendas and 1:1 structure, Brifo for the actual capture-to-Jira flow. They don't integrate today, but you can use them side by side.

**Does Brifo integrate with Jira like Fellow?**

Yes. Brifo files action items to Jira (and Linear, OpenProject) with one click. Same end result as Fellow's Jira sync.

**Is Brifo cheaper than Fellow?**

Yes. Brifo is free during public beta. Fellow's Pro plan is $7/user/mo annual.
