Key Differences Between Fellow and Charma

1 Keep all your meeting notes in one place (even notes for one-off meetings)

Charma is organized around work relationships. Specifically with one-on-ones and recurring team meetings where each meeting has its own workspace. This works if those are the only meetings that you need to take notes for but doesn’t support non-recurring meetings. Fellow supports all the meetings in your calendar including one-off meetings. Since meeting notes of all types are all in one app, it’s easy to find notes and agendas – notes for recurring meetings are organized together in one long stream, and 1-on-1 notes are organized by relationship.

2 Customize and format

Have the freedom to take notes in a way that works for you and your team! Fellow supports various formatting options including some general text formatting (bold, italics, etc), colors, images, embedded media (videos, gifs, Miro boards, Figma files), and headers. This helps create engaging meeting notes that your team is excited to contribute to. However, in Charma there are much fewer formatting options (just text, gifs, and videos) that leave every meeting looking the same. 

3 Easily accessible notes and action items

Fellow has mobile and desktop apps that make it easy for users to access Fellow outside of the browser (though you can access the notes that way too!). This gives managers the option to take their notes on the go, get notified when teammates complete tasks, and makes it easy to add to an agenda any time of day. But Charma can only be used in the browser, no mobile or desktop apps available at this time.

The mobile and desktop apps are not the only items that make Fellow easy to use. On G2, reviewers rate Fellow as easier to use, set-up and administer when compared to Charma.

    Restoration of order to the universe

    Fellow is a system where you can queue up your thoughts for discussion with the right people which relieves your brain of using its scarce neurological RAM, and saves your co-workers time by consolidating 20 mini meetings into one temporally efficient one. If you are the type of person that is serious about your work, I would highly recommend trying out Fellow.

    The glue that keeps me together

    This tool is the glue that keeps me together. I have been able to pull together so many parts of my day all in one tool. I can capture meeting notes, record action items, plan my goals, and get feedback for my team members. I can organize so many areas all in one tool. Big bonuses are the articles that are shared with users every week. There are so many great articles that help me to continue to learn and grow in my role.

    Fellow gives me superpowers

    Fellow is my second brain. It helps me keep all of my one-on-ones organized, track goals for my reports, remember important details about their lives. Fellow provides helpful suggestions for those times when a one-on-one might be slower than usual and I need inspiration for areas to cover. Fellow also allows our teams to collaborate on meeting agendas in real time, keep notes for those meetings and provide accountability for follow-ups.

    Love love love Fellow

    I love that I have everything I need to collaborate with others in one place. Particularly, the meeting agendas and that they’re linked to Google calendar events! Having recurring meetings, specifically 1:1’s separated into Streams makes it really easy to find and look back on all the things we’ve discussed. I especially enjoy the feature of carrying forward unchecked agenda or action items. The templates feature is amazing as well – having suggestions for 1:1s or feedback requests.

    Significantly improved our remote working environment

    Templates are a game-changer for our team. We quickly upgraded to an Organization plan in order to utilize them, and it’s worth every penny. Our HR team setup some core templates for 1:1’s, leadership meetings, etc. which has made it much easier for our team to stay consistent and aligned with corporate objectives.

    I Fellow ALL the things

    I appreciate how organized Fellow keeps me. Not only do I use Fellow to make an agenda and take notes for every meeting and 1:1, but I also have various Private Streams that I use to keep track of things like a Weekly To-Do List, Projects, My Impact, Leadership Books, etc. It’s awesome to be able to prepare an agenda ahead of time, link in any relevant material, then have the attendees collaborate together and compile notes together.
