Core Use Cases
- Sales demos and discovery calls

- Cross-company meetings with external guests
Pricing Overview
Per-host licensing with add-ons; enterprise buys vary. Mid-market often standardizes on a company-wide meeting vendor.

Weaknesses
- Overlaps with Meet and Teams when multiple are paid
- Add-ons (phone, webinar) inflate TCO
Best Alternatives

When NOT to Use It
- Company policy mandates a single meeting stack with no exceptions
StackSwap Insight
Meeting-stack overlap is pure waste: Zoom + Teams + Meet all billed while reps pick favorites. StackScan-style analysis often finds "preferred vendor" drift more than functional gaps.
