ManagerCheckIns vs Fellow
Fellow is a meeting tool with AI notes. ManagerCheckIns is a manager tool: 1:1s, plus the goals, reviews, feedback and surveys that go with them. If you mostly need better 1:1s for a team of 6 to 60, here is how the price works out.
The math
| ManagerCheckIns | Fellow, billed yearly | Fellow, billed monthly | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 5 people | Free | Free | Free |
| 20 people | $39 a month | $140 a month (Team, $7 each) | $220 a month (Team, $11 each) |
| 50 people | $39 a month | $750 a month (Business, $15 each) | $1,150 a month (Business, $23 each) |
Fellow’s Team plan stops at 20 seats, so a 50-person company is on Business. At 50 people that is $750 a month billed yearly, or $9,000 a year, against $468 a year for ManagerCheckIns.
Where Fellow is ahead
- AI meeting notes. Fellow records and summarizes meetings. ManagerCheckIns has no AI notes; you write notes yourself.
- Calendar sync. Fellow connects to Google and Outlook calendars both ways. ManagerCheckIns gives each person a calendar feed of their 1:1s that their calendar subscribes to, which is one way only.
- Every meeting, not just 1:1s. Fellow handles team meetings and standups too.
Where ManagerCheckIns is ahead
- One flat price. Hiring your 21st person does not change the bill.
- Reviews, goals and surveys included. Self, manager and peer reviews with editable question sets, goals with check-ins, anytime feedback, praise and anonymous pulse surveys with eNPS.
- Follow-ups that stay put. Action items stay open across 1:1s until someone ticks them off.
- Private notes are private. Not even an admin can read them.
