For the host, Zoom offers 4 pricing tiers.
Zoom Free: this tier is free and offers an unlimited number of meetings. Yet group meetings with multiple participants are capped at 40 minutes in length, and meetings cannot be recorded.
Zoom Pro: this tier costs $14.99 per month and allows hosts to create personal meeting IDs for repetitive Zoom meetings. Meeting recording in the cloud or your device is also allowed, but it caps group meeting durations at 24 hours.
Zoom Business: this one costs $19.99 per month and allows users to brand Zoom meetings with vanity URLs and company brading and offers transcripts of Zoom meetings recorded in the Cloud.
Zoom Rooms: anyone who wants to set up Zoom Rooms can sign up for a free 20-day trial, after which Zoom Rooms require an additional $49 per month. Zoom Rooms support up to 1000 video participants or 10000 webinar viewers, with unlimited scheduling displays.
How many participants can join the Zoom meeting?
All Zoom plans allow up to 100 participants by default in each meeting up to 1000 with add-on plans.
What's the difference between Zoom and Google Meet?
Google Meet is more suitable for small, quick meetings, since you don’t have to download or install an app to use it. You can just go to the Google Meet website and start a video call with your Google account, share the URl with your participants and they can join the meeting after logging in.
Zoom is better for large scale meetings. Even with the free plan, you can call up to 100 participants, record a call, mute participants, chat, share documents or your screen, make HD video calls, use a whiteboard or virtual backgrounds, send emojis, and a lot more.
