Alternatives to popular meeting and scheduling tools
Lists of alternatives to Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Whereby, Jitsi Meet, Calendly and Otter, plus side-by-side comparisons of free video conferencing and free scheduling plans. Each list starts with Meeto and compares it with five to seven other products on the same criteria, such as the free time limit, guest access, booking and price, with every figure about another product linked to the vendor's own page.

- The Google Meet time limit: 60 minutes for groups, 24 hours one-on-one, and who can extend a meeting.
- Microsoft Teams free limits: meeting length, participants, storage and recording.
How we compare products
- The same criteria for every product. Each list states what it compares, usually the free time limit, participants, guest access, browser join, booking, recording and price.
- The vendor's own words. Every figure about another product comes from that vendor's page, with a short verbatim quote and the date it was read, listed under Sources.
- Disagreements shown, not resolved. When a vendor's pages contradict each other, the card says so instead of picking the better number.
- Meeto first, then A to Z. Meeto, the publisher, comes first with what it does well; the other products follow in alphabetical order, each with its facts and sources.
For a deeper look at one pair of products, the comparisons put Meeto and one other tool side by side.

Frequently asked questions
Who writes these lists?
Meeto does. Every figure about another product is quoted from that vendor's own page with the date it was read. No vendor paid to be included and there are no affiliate links.
How often are the facts checked?
Each competitor fact carries the date it was read, shown next to its quote under Sources. Facts older than 90 days are flagged for a re-check against the vendor's page.
Why does Meeto come first?
Because Meeto publishes these lists. Its card shows what Meeto offers: free 60-minute meetings for up to 10 people, guests who join from the browser without an account, a booking page on every plan, and Pro with no time limit from $6.99 a month.
