# Marrow vs Orvo

Choose Orvo if you want email and calendar sync and a preparation brief for any meeting, with a tier for teams. Choose Marrow if you want one voice note or card photo on your phone to file the person, the context and a dated follow up.

Orvo syncs your email and calendar and prepares you for meetings. Marrow, in Beta, is for the minute after: a card photo, a voice note, a screenshot or an email thread becomes a person and a dated follow up. Marrow can also look people up and find new ones.
