Our Verdict

AsanaOur Pick

Asana and Fellow solve different management problems. Asana manages work between meetings — tasks, deadlines, dependencies, project timelines. Fellow manages the meetings themselves — agendas, notes, action items, and meeting habits. Asana is the more essential tool for most consultants. If you can only pick one, pick the project manager. Client deliverables live in Asana — you track what needs to happen, when, and who owns it. The free tier supports up to 10 users with unlimited tasks and projects. Starter plan is $10.99/month per user for timelines and custom fields. Fellow fills a different gap: making meetings productive. Collaborative agendas (shared with the client before the call), real-time note-taking, and automatic action item tracking ensure meetings don't end with "what did we agree on again?" Fellow also provides meeting analytics — frequency, duration, and habits. Free for up to 10 meeting notes/month. Solo plan is $19/month. For consulting specifically, Fellow's strength is the client-facing meeting workflow. Sending a pre-meeting agenda, taking structured notes during the call, and automatically creating follow-up tasks creates a professional impression that justifies premium rates. But this workflow can be approximated with a Notion template and a project management tool. Asana first. Add Fellow only if unproductive meetings are a real bottleneck — which, for consultants, they often are.

Verdict

Asana leads by 9 points (strong advantage).

Best fit

Who each tool is for

Asana

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants managing multi-phase engagements with multiple stakeholders.

Why pick it: Strong free tier (up to 10 users) covers most solo and small-team needs. Portfolio view lets you track all client engagements in one place.

Watch for: If your projects are simple (3-5 tasks), a shared Notion doc is lighter. Asana shines when you have 10+ tasks with dependencies and deadlines.

Fellow

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants coordinating tasks and follow-ups from client calls.

Why pick it: Collaborative agendas plus action-item tracking turn meetings into accountable commitments. Best meeting tool for teams that need follow-through, not just transcripts.

Watch for: Minimum 3 users on the paid plan. Solo consultants should use Fathom or Otter instead.

Common questions

Questions consultants ask before choosing

Can Asana handle meeting management too?

Asana can track meeting action items as tasks, but it doesn't handle agendas, real-time notes, or meeting analytics. For basic action item tracking, Asana is enough. For improving meeting quality and client-facing agendas, Fellow adds real value.
