When to Choose GoTo Meeting
Small businesses that want a straightforward, reliable meeting tool without the complexity of full UCaaS platforms
GoTo Meeting is a no-frills, reliable video conferencing tool that gets the job done. The AI Meeting Summary is a nice touch, but the feature set trails behind Zoom and Teams significantly. Best suited for small teams that value simplicity over cutting-edge features.
Strengths
- AI Meeting Summary generates automatic recaps with action items after every call
- Reliable, mature platform with 20+ years of video conferencing experience
- Simple, clean interface that requires minimal training
- Free tier available with basic meeting capabilities for up to 3 users
Limitations
- AI features are basic compared to Zoom, Teams, or Dialpad
- Free tier extremely limited — only 3 participants for 40 minutes
- Integration ecosystem is small compared to market leaders
When to Choose Jitsi Meet
Privacy-conscious users, open source advocates, and organizations with self-hosting capability that want free, secure video conferencing
Jitsi Meet is the best free video conferencing platform, period. Open source, no account required, E2EE available, and self-hostable for complete control. The trade-off is the absence of AI features and the lack of commercial support. For organizations that can self-host and don't need AI, Jitsi is hard to beat at the price (free).
Strengths
- 100% free and open source — no paid plans, no feature restrictions, no user limits
- Self-hosted option for complete data sovereignty and privacy
- End-to-end encryption support for security-conscious organizations
- No account needed — create or join a meeting instantly via browser
Limitations
- No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or intelligent automation
- Quality can degrade with more than 35-50 participants on the free hosted version
- No commercial support — relies on community for troubleshooting
