Google Meet is free for 60-minute group calls with a Google account, and part of Google Workspace from $7 per user a month for longer calls. Freesbe's meetings and huddles hold 20 people, with guest links, a lobby, recordings, transcripts and AI notes, in the same app as the chat, bookings and phone, and connect to Google Calendar.
For Small teams on Gmail who want meetings in the chat, not in a separate Google tab.
A huddle starts with one click in any channel or DM, with up to 20 people and a shared screen. A scheduled meeting from a channel invites everyone in it and is pinned there once it's set. Both show who's in, let people react and raise a hand, and move to your phone when you leave your desk.
The link opens a page with your logo. A guest types a name, asks to join and waits in the lobby; people in the workspace go straight in. Invites carry a calendar file for Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar, and the link keeps working for later calls.
Start free with up to 10 people and try it today, or book a 20-minute demo with the people who make Freesbe.
Connect Google Calendar to see free and busy times while scheduling and to show In a meeting automatically. Make Freesbe the meeting on your Google Calendar events, so the invite carries a Freesbe link. Booking pages only offer times that are free in the calendar.
If everyone has a Workspace seat, Meet is already there, in Gmail and Calendar, with 100 to 500 people in a call depending on the plan and 24-hour meetings. A company that runs large meetings, or lives in Google Docs during them, keeps Meet. Freesbe is for the team that wants its meetings next to its chat.
