Which free plan fits your meetings?
The two free plans trade size for time. Webex Free holds up to 100 people but stops at 40 minutes; Meeto Free holds 10 and runs 60 minutes, with warnings 5 minutes and 1 minute before the end.
- A one-hour client session or interview: Meeto Free covers it; on Webex Free it would end after 40 minutes.
- A class or town hall of 30 or more: Webex Free fits; Meeto does not, even on a paid plan.
- A workshop that splits into groups: Webex has breakout rooms on every plan; Meeto has none.
- Calls people book with you: Meeto's free account includes a booking page that creates the meeting for each booking.
An instant Meeto link expires after the free hour; scheduled and booking links can be reused. See the full limits on the pricing page.
What Meeto does not do
Meeto is built for small meetings that start from a link, a booking page or a website button. Paid plans hold up to 25 participants, and Meeto does not offer:
- End-to-end encryption
- Webinars or livestreaming
- Breakout rooms
- Polls
- Phone dial-in
- SSO / SAML single sign-on
- Live captions over the call video
If any of these is a requirement, test it in Webex or another tool first. The full Meeto limits are on the pricing page and the security overview.
