Our verdict. Which one wins?
Summary
Fellow wins on everything that matters for a structured hiring team: multi-interviewer attribution, admin-governed workspace, configurable retention. Otter is fine for a solo recruiter's 1:1 phone screens — cheaper, no setup — but breaks down the moment you have a 3-person panel and a hiring manager asking what each interviewer actually said.
