Webex is the go-to for companies who only prioritize security [who cares about user experience, right?]. Google Meet, on the other hand, is free to use and offers basic calls. But both of them can’t cater to the needs of a modern team.
Let's take a closer look at Webex and Google Meet, and see how they stack up against one another.
I hope you’re fluent in sign language. That’s the only way I’ve been able to reliably use Google Meet, because the audio consistently sucks or drops
Google is good at many things but Google meet sucks
Which group videoconferencing solution doesn't totally suck, apart from MS Teams? With arbitrary participant sharing screen, no problems with headsets, etc. Discord sucks, Telegram sucks, Google Meet sucks, Slack's Huddle sucks
Google Meet is the worst video conferencing product of all time, and it never gets better, only worse.
Video Calling App isn't just a meeting + transcription tool; it takes care of your end-to-end meeting workflow. Organize discussions, automate pre and post meeting tasks and find context. Even if you miss a meeting.
Going beyond the generic sync, integrations are collaborative via remind-me on Slack, update task on Linear, or task planning on GCal, etc.
With tight integrations and AI features, search across meetings, summaries, recordings using advanced filters and contextual search.
Create new tasks or auto-comment meeting updates on your existing tasks without creating duplicates. Supports Linear and Jira, currently.
With features like a whiteboard, reaction wheel, polls, timer, music player, shared notes & more, make your meetings more interactive.
Meeting experience as smooth as butter with keyboard navigation (CMD K), global search, auto-document notes, shortcuts, layered with AI that works for you.
We understand contracts can be tricky. So, if you have 3 months subscription left with your existing tool, you get first 3 months with VCA free.
Don’t wait for email. Get personalised onboarding, completely migration of your existing meeting workflow and direct connect with our team over Slack.

Webex, while big on security, frustrates users with its complexity and technical problems, while Google Meet disappoints with its lack of features and poor performance.
Both Webex and Google have somewhat limited privacy controls when it comes to AI and data usage. They may use data for improving their services, but the extent of this usage isn't always clear. It's always a good idea to check their latest privacy policies for the most up-to-date information.
