Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Google Meet.
- Google Meet only available as part of Google Workspace subscription; no standalone free option
- Starter plan limits Meet to 100 participants; Standard tier required for 150 participants
- Organisation-wide user cap of 300 users on Starter, Standard, and Plus plans
- Enterprise tier requires custom pricing and sales contact; no transparent per-user cost
- Free tier (from basic Google account) limits meetings to 60 minutes with 3+ participants

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Google Meet, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
