Discourse vs Fellow FAQ
- Which one is cheaper?
- Fellow is the cheaper option, starting at $11/mo vs $100/mo for Discourse.
- Can I use either one for free?
- Both offer free plans, so you can try each without paying. Start with whichever fits your workflow better and upgrade when you hit the limits.
- How do they charge?
- Different approach here. Discourse uses flat-rate pricing, while Fellow goes with per-seat. That changes the math depending on your team size and usage.
- Which one is a better deal?
- Depends on what you need. Discourse: At $100 and $500 flat, Discourse sits mid-to-premium compared to lighter forum tools, but it undercuts enterprise community platforms that charge based on MAUs or seats. They're clearly going after teams that want forum ownership without the per-user pricing anxiety that plagues Slack-alikes. Fellow: Fellow sits in the mid-market sweet spot for meeting productivity tools — not as cheap as a bolt-on feature in Notion or Confluence, but well below the $30–50+/seat range of heavier HR or performance platforms. They're going after teams that have outgrown Google Docs for meeting notes but aren't ready for a full people-management suite.
