Pricing Analysis
Overview
Google Meet - Video conferencing by Google, integrated with Google Workspace. The free tier gets you 100 participants, 60-min meetings - a real plan, not a 14-day trial. Upgrading to Business Starter ($7.2/user/mo) unlocks 100 participants and 24-hr meetings. At $7.2/mo, Google Meet undercuts the $24/mo category average by 70%. For comparison, Riverside.fm starts at $19 and Loom at $18. The gap between Business Starter ($7.2) and Business Plus ($21.6) is significant - the 3x multiplier only makes sense if you need 500 participants.
Cost Per User
Which Plan Is Right for You?
You get 100 participants, 60-min meetings. What's locked behind the paywall: 24-hr meetings. If those matter, Business Starter at $7.2/user/mo is the next step. Good enough for solo use and evaluation.
$7.2/user/mo gets you 100 participants, 24-hr meetings. Team of 5 = $36/mo, team of 10 = $72/mo. The sweet spot for professionals who've maxed out the free plan and need 24-hr meetings.
$14.4/user/mo gets you 150 participants, Recording. Team of 5 = $72/mo, team of 10 = $144/mo. The middle ground - enough for growing teams without enterprise overhead. Saves $7.200000000000001/user/mo vs. Business Plus.
$21.6/user/mo gets you 500 participants, Attendance tracking. Team of 5 = $108/mo, team of 10 = $216/mo. 50% more than Business Standard - justified only if you need the extras.

Our Verdict
Google Meet scores 4.5/5 and offers a free plan - that's a rare combination. The free tier with 100 participants and 60-min meetings is more than enough to validate whether it fits your workflow. Start free. Move to Business Starter ($7.2/user/mo) when 100 participants becomes a need, not a want. Also compare against Riverside.fm ($19/mo) before deciding.
