Whereby Meetings is a good fit when joining a workshop or client session should be as simple as opening a familiar room link. Its small free allowance and straightforward host plans are easy to evaluate, provided you keep the separate Embedded developer product out of the comparison.
The free plan has one room, up to four attendees and a 30-minute limit. A workshop can outgrow that quickly.
The published $13.99 per-host monthly rate has a three-host minimum, making the minimum listed monthly charge $41.97 before VAT.
Whereby separately prices the API/SDK product for embedded video. Do not assume programmatic room creation or developer features are included in a Meetings license.
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | One host, one room URL, four attendees and up to 30 minutes per meeting. |
| Pro | $10.99/month | One host, three room URLs, up to 100 attendees, no meeting time limit, branding and recording. |
| Business | $13.99/host/month; minimum $41.97/month | At least three hosts; up to 200 attendees, unlimited room URLs, shared/Flex rooms and a custom subdomain. |
Whereby Meetings reduces the joining work for a small online session: guests open a room link in their browser and can begin without creating an account. That makes it relevant to coaching, external client meetings and facilitated workshops.
Buy for the number of hosts and the actual session size. The free plan is a small test, and Business has a three-host minimum. Developers embedding video in a product should evaluate Whereby Embedded separately.
