Self-hosted alternatives
Open source alternatives to Zoom
Zoom is a hosted video meeting product sold by the host and by the seat.
Original introduction
Zoom charges per licensed user, per month, and a licensed user is the person who hosts meetings. Its Pro plan is $16.99 per user per month billed monthly, or $14.16 per user per month billed annually. Running your own meeting server swaps that bill for the work of hosting it. All four projects here use OSI licences. Look at what your calls need before choosing, such as how many people usually join. Pricing as of 15 Oct 2026.
