Alternatives to GoTo Meeting
Long-running web conferencing tool for business meetings.
7 hand-curated alternatives from MintedSaaS's directory. See the GoTo Meeting listing →
GoTo Meeting is a web conferencing platform built for scheduled business meetings, online training, and client presentations. It's been around since 2004 and remains a standard choice in enterprise IT environments where reliability and integration with corporate calendars matter. The product sits firmly in the mid-market segment—not designed for massive webinars (that's GoTo Webinar), not positioned as a consumer chat app, but as a dedicated meeting room that works from Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
The typical GoTo Meeting user schedules meetings in advance, expects HD video to work without fiddling, and values built-in recording and transcription that automatically saves to company systems. It's used for one-off client calls, recurring team standups, and training sessions where the organizer wants controls: mute-all buttons, waiting rooms, and the ability to remove participants. Buyers gravitate toward it when they already have Citrix licenses or when their IT team has vetted it against compliance requirements. For those reasons, GoTo Meeting has remained profitable but faces pressure from free and low-cost alternatives like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams—especially as organizations have grown comfortable with video-first work.

What to look for
- Whether the platform charges per user per month or allows unlimited participants at one fixed price
- Whether recordings are automatically stored in your cloud account (Google Drive, OneDrive) or only in the vendor's silo
- Whether the service runs natively on iPad and Android tablets or degrades to a phone-sized experience
- Whether dial-in phone numbers are included for all participants or available only as an add-on
- Whether you can customize meeting URLs and branding or if the vendor's logo appears on every call
- Whether the platform integrates with your calendar system (Outlook, Google Calendar) or requires manual meeting scheduling
FAQ
What are the best alternatives to GoTo Meeting?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet are the most direct replacements, all offering HD video, screen sharing, and recording at lower cost or free. For privacy-first meetings, Jitsi Meet is open-source and self-hostable. Around and Whereby offer smaller-team video tools with their own design angles.
Are there free alternatives to GoTo Meeting?
Yes. Google Meet offers unlimited group calls for free (up to 24 hours), Jitsi Meet is open-source and free to use, and Zoom's free plan includes 40-minute group calls. Microsoft Teams includes free video meetings if your organization has Office 365.
Which video conferencing features are essential for business meetings?
Screen sharing, HD video, dial-in audio fallback, and the ability to record and share transcripts. Beyond that, waiting rooms and participant controls (muting, removing people) matter if you're hosting external clients or large teams.
How do I choose a conferencing tool for enterprise use?
Check your existing software stack first: if you already own Microsoft 365, Teams will integrate cleanly. If compliance or data residency rules apply, verify the vendor's certifications and data-center locations before committing.
What platforms do GoTo Meeting alternatives support?
All major competitors—Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and Jitsi—run on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Around and Whereby are browser-first and lighter-weight for smaller teams.
Can I self-host a video conferencing tool instead of using the cloud?
Jitsi Meet is the only self-hostable option in this list and is open-source. All others (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Around, Whereby) are cloud-only SaaS platforms.
Which conferencing tools offer unlimited recording storage?
None offer truly unlimited storage; all charge separately for long-term recording retention. Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet offer cloud recording with tiered storage plans; Jitsi Meet and self-hosted options let you control storage yourself.
Do I need IT approval to switch from GoTo Meeting to another platform?
Only if your organization has strict compliance, data-residency, or VPN requirements. For most small and mid-market teams, switching to Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams is a business decision, not an IT one.
