Google Meet is generally a great tool for online meetings, and I’ve used it extensively, but it has its limits. Without a subscription, meetings with three or more people are limited to 60 minutes, and the feature set is limited compared to some of its rivals.
It’s also a Google product, which may not sit well with those trying to move away from big tech. If you’re looking for an alternative for any reason whatsoever, here are five options to consider.

Zoom — Best all-around

Zoom is likely the best and most known Google Meet alternative, although it’s quite different in many ways. Google is generally all about simplicity, and while the premium version of Meet does come with all sorts of tools and features, Zoom offers a lot more in general — even on its free plan. For example, you can record meetings locally with a free account, while you’ll need a subscription to record in Meet.
A free Zoom subscription also has limitations, and some are stricter than those imposed by Google’s service. Meetings can only take up to 40 minutes, for example, instead of the 60 offered by Meet. Both support up to 100 participants, though. Zoom is a great tool for those who want a stable and feature-packed online meeting software and are willing to pay for it. The cheapest plan at the time of writing starts at $13.33 per month, making it almost twice as expensive as Google Meet.
