Zoom is the meeting tool everyone knows, with a free plan of 40 minutes and 100 people and Pro from $14.16 per user a month billed yearly. Freesbe holds up to 20 people in a meeting or a huddle, with a guest link, a lobby, recordings, transcripts and AI notes, plus chat, booking pages and a phone system.
For Teams of 2 to 500 whose meetings are mostly internal or one customer at a time.
A huddle lives in a channel or DM: anyone there drops in, up to 20 people, with a shared screen you can draw on, and it stays in a corner while you work. A scheduled meeting gets a short link, a time, invites with a calendar file, a reminder 10 minutes before, and a lobby for guests. Both can move to your phone.
The meeting link opens a page with your logo and the meeting's title. People in the workspace go straight in; guests click Ask to join and wait until someone lets them in, or go straight in with their personal link when the waiting room is off. A guest can join from 15 minutes before the start, and the link keeps working for later calls.
Start free with up to 10 people and try it today, or book a 20-minute demo with the people who make Freesbe.
Record the meeting, or just transcribe it. A minute or two after it ends, the transcript says who said what and the notes list a summary, the decisions and the action items. Guests get the notes and transcript on a page of their own. Download it as text, or search the transcript.
Zoom holds 100 people on its free and Pro plans and 300 on Business, runs webinars and events, and its 30-hour meetings suit all-day sessions. A company that hosts large meetings, webinars or town halls, or needs Zoom Rooms in meeting rooms, should keep Zoom for those and may still use Freesbe for the rest.
