When to Choose Google Meet
Google Workspace organizations and teams that prioritize simplicity and browser-based meetings
Google Meet delivers the cleanest, most frictionless meeting experience. Gemini AI integration is genuinely useful for note-taking and summaries, and the browser-based approach means zero installation headaches. It lacks some power features, but for Google Workspace users, it's the natural choice.
Strengths
- Gemini AI integration with "Take notes for me" feature and automatic meeting summaries
- Seamless Google Workspace integration — Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Gmail
- No download needed — fully browser-based with excellent mobile apps
- Adaptive audio reduces echo when multiple laptops are in the same room
Limitations
- Fewer advanced features than Zoom or Teams — no built-in whiteboard in meetings
- AI features require Workspace Business Standard or higher plans
- Limited breakout room controls compared to Zoom
When to Choose RingCentral Video
Mid-to-large businesses that need a complete UCaaS platform with AI-powered conversation intelligence
RingCentral Video is best understood as part of the RingCentral unified communications suite rather than a standalone video tool. RingSense AI adds genuine value with conversation intelligence and sentiment analysis. The lack of a free tier and the higher price make it a harder sell for video-only needs.
Strengths
- RingSense AI provides conversation intelligence, sentiment analysis, and automated summaries
- True unified communications — phone, video, messaging, and fax in one platform
- Excellent HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST compliance for healthcare and finance
- Strong API ecosystem for custom integrations and workflow automation
Limitations
- No free tier — requires paid subscription starting at $20/user/mo
- Video conferencing is bundled into UCaaS — overkill and overpriced for teams that only need meetings
- Admin experience is complex — not designed for small teams or quick setup
