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 Whereby
Freelancers, consultants, and small teams that want the simplest possible meeting experience with zero friction
Whereby is the anti-Zoom — it strips video meetings down to the absolute essentials. Permanent room links mean zero scheduling friction, and the no-download approach is genuinely delightful. The lack of AI features and limited scalability make it unsuitable for larger teams, but for small, informal meetings, nothing is simpler.
Strengths
- Simplest meeting experience — permanent room links, no downloads, no accounts needed for guests
- Embedded API for developers who want to add video to their own apps
- Beautiful, minimalist interface designed for quick, informal meetings
- Free tier includes unlimited 1-on-1 meetings and up to 4 participants in group calls
Limitations
- No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or noise cancellation
- Limited to 200 participants even on the highest plan
- Basic collaboration tools — no breakout rooms or advanced features
