Meeto vs Digital Samba Embedded
Meeto vs Digital Samba Embedded: video calls for your site
Meeto's widget is free on every plan, with no minute meter and no server: a public key locked to your domains creates rooms from the page. Digital Samba Embedded's free plan stops at 10,000 participation minutes a month, and its first paid plan, Create, is €99 a month. Meeto Pro, $6.99 a month for the key owner, removes the 60-minute limit, and packaged iOS and Android SDKs bring the same widget into your apps.

Meeto vs Digital Samba Embedded: the facts side by side
| Question | Meeto | Digital Samba Embedded |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | The widget is free on every plan with no minute meter; on a Free account each call holds 10 people for 60 minutes | 10,000 participation minutes a month, no credit card; a hard cap until the quota resets[1][2] |
| Pricing model | No usage billing. Pro at $6.99/month for the key owner raises calls to 25 people and removes the 60-minute limit for up to 2 calls at a time | Monthly plans with included participation minutes and per-minute overage; the first paid plan, Create, is €99 a month[3][4][5] |
| Ways to embed | Script tag, <meeto-room> Web Component, JavaScript, React, Vue and Angular packages, WordPress plugin; Meeto's own call screen with your accent colour and language | An iframe through the Digital Samba JS SDK; the layout is fixed, but features can be shown, hidden or extended with your own buttons[6][7] |
| Backend needed | No: a public key (mk_live_…) locked to your domains creates instant or named rooms from the page; an optional secret key lets your server create rooms and choose the host | Not for a fixed public room; yes to create rooms on the fly, manage access or call the REST API[8][9] |
| Mobile SDKs | iOS (Swift Package) and Android (JitPack) SDKs that show the same widget in a WebView | The web SDK in mobile browsers and webviews, with Android and iOS reference apps on GitHub[10] |
Prices are in USD for monthly billing unless a row says otherwise. Plans change: each Digital Samba Embedded figure links to the page it came from, so you can check it before you decide.
Why people switch from Digital Samba Embedded to Meeto

Packaged iOS and Android SDKs bring the same widget into your apps.
Where does the call data go?
Here is how Meeto handles a call embedded on your site:
- Every call is encrypted in transit (WebRTC, DTLS-SRTP) through Meeto's media servers in Europe and South-East Asia; each room is placed in the nearer region.
- Meeto stores no audio or video from a widget call unless a host on a paid Meeto plan turns on recording or AI summary; meeting metadata such as times and participant counts is kept as the privacy policy describes.
- Meeto is operated by KeepFlow L.L.C-FZ in Dubai, U.A.E. Its providers include Cloudflare for delivery and storage, and data moved out of the EEA, the UK or Switzerland relies on Standard Contractual Clauses.
