Our review
Pros	Basic combines meetings with chat, mail, calendar, docs, and whiteboards. Pro includes 30-hour meetings, AI Companion, and 10 GB cloud storage. Business supports meetings for up to 300 participants and end-to-end encryption.	Persistent rooms, layouts and breakout setups support repeatable programs. Granular participant controls, analytics and moderated interaction tools. Cloud, private-cloud and on-premise deployment options.
Cons	Pro's published monthly price is $15.99 per user. Basic does not list the 30-hour meetings included with Pro and Business. Enterprise relies on custom configurations rather than listed plan specifics.	Listed participant ceiling of 1,500 may limit very large broadcasts. Annual per-host pricing, capacity upgrades and add-ons complicate budgeting. Persistent-room depth may exceed the needs of simple ad hoc meetings.
