## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in order
> 
> **1. Zoom** - The default I'd recommend if you have no strong ecosystem preference. Best-in-class reliability on bad connections, the most frictionless "join from anything" experience for external guests, and the strongest set of meeting-specific features: breakout rooms, real AI summaries, webinars, whiteboard. Paid plans start around $15.99/user/mo, which is the most expensive of the big three - you're paying for the meeting experience specifically.
> 
> **2. Google Meet** - The right answer if your team already lives in Gmail and Google Calendar. Zero install, link-in-the-invite simplicity, and the cheapest entry point (bundled into Workspace Business Starter at ~$7/user/mo). Meeting controls are thinner than Zoom's, but for day-to-day standups and 1:1s that doesn't matter.
> 
> **3. Microsoft Teams** - The right answer if you're on Microsoft 365, because it's effectively free with the bundle and combines calls with chat, files, and SharePoint in one place. The video experience is good-not-great and the app is heavier than the alternatives. Note Microsoft raised prices on July 1, 2026 (Business Basic $6→$7, Business Standard $12.50→$14, Teams Essentials $4→$4.50).
