Jitsi Meet alternatives

Jitsi Meet alternatives after the 95-minute limit

Meeto needs no account at all: anyone starts a meeting in the browser and guests join from the link, with free calls of 60 minutes for up to 10 people and no time limit on Pro. Since October 9, 2026, meetings on meet.jit.si end at 95 minutes, room creators must sign in, and free use is capped at 25 active end points a month. Brave Talk, Google Meet, Whereby, Microsoft Teams and Webex are compared below too, with sources.

What changed on meet.jit.si

Meetings on meet.jit.si have been limited to 95 minutes since October 9, 2026[1]. Since August 24, 2023 the person creating a room needs an account, though the others do not[2], and the terms of service cap free use at 25 active end points per calendar month[3]. Jitsi is still open source, and you can run your own instance[4].

If you embed Jitsi in a product, Meeto's website widget puts a call button or an inline call on your site, free on every plan; see Meeto vs JaaS. This page is about hosted meetings for people.

How we chose these alternatives

Each product had to be available today and to publish its limits on its own pages. We compared them on the same points:

  • Free time limitHow long a free meeting runs, against meet.jit.si's 95 minutes.
  • AccountsWho needs an account: the host, the guests or nobody.
  • Browser joinWhether guests join from a link in the browser without installing anything.
  • Booking pageWhether the product has its own page where people book a time, and on which plan.
  • PriceThe cheapest paid plan in USD, with its billing period.

This page is published by Meeto. Facts about other products are quoted from their own pages on the date shown. Meeto comes first; the other products follow in alphabetical order.

Hosted service or your own Jitsi server?

Running Jitsi Meet yourself removes meet.jit.si's limits but makes you the operator: a server, its updates, and recording through Jibri if you need it. A hosted service takes all of that off your hands. With Meeto:

  • No account for anyone: start an instant meeting in the browser and share the link; see what the free plan includes.
  • No server to run: calls are encrypted in transit (WebRTC, DTLS-SRTP) through Meeto's media servers in Europe and South-East Asia.
  • Recording when you need it: Meeto Pro records to the cloud and adds a transcript and an AI summary; see meeting recording.

Frequently asked questions

Is meet.jit.si still free?

Yes, but with limits. Since October 9, 2026 meetings on meet.jit.si end at 95 minutes; the terms of service cap free use at 25 active end points per calendar month; and since August 2023 the person who creates a room needs an account. Jitsi itself remains open source.

Can I avoid the limits by hosting Jitsi myself?

The limits above are for the meet.jit.si service. Jitsi Meet is open source, and Jitsi says you can set up your own instance; then the limits are whatever your server allows, and you run and maintain it yourself. Meeto is hosted for you: there is no server to run, and nobody needs an account for an instant meeting.

Which alternative needs no account at all?

Meeto lets anyone start an instant meeting from the browser without an account, host included; guests never need one. Brave Talk lets invitees join from any browser with the call link.

How long can a free Meeto call last?

60 minutes once a second person joins, for up to 10 people, with warnings 5 minutes and 1 minute before the end. Meeto Pro has no time limit, for $6.99 a month.
