Zoom free works for casual 1:1 calls (unlimited) and quick group check-ins (40 minutes). Pro at $13.32/month is worth it for regular meetings exceeding 40 minutes and cloud recording. Business ($18.32) is needed for 100+ participant meetings and company branding. For most small teams, Google Meet (free, 60-minute meetings) or Teams (included with M365) are better values. Zoom strength is webinars and large events.
