Meet's 24-hour and 60-minute figures are for meetings hosted from a computer.
Zoom
Basic is the free plan, and it caps every meeting at 40 minutes. Zoom's pricing page lists Pro at 30 hours per meeting. In the iPhone app the in-app price for Zoom Workplace Pro is $16.99 a month or $169.99 a year (US App Store).
Google Meet
Meet is the only one of the three that lets a free account run a long call, and only for two people. Add a third and the host gets a chime and a message at 50 minutes; the meeting ends at 60 unless the host upgrades their Google account. Workspace Individual subscribers can run group calls up to 24 hours. Meet's iPhone app sells no upgrade.
Meet's participant cap is 100 for personal accounts. A Google One plan of 2 TB or more doesn't raise it; Google lists 100 there too. Work and school accounts get 100 to 1,000 depending on the Workspace edition.
Is Teams free?
Yes, Microsoft Teams for personal use is free, with unlimited chat messages, instant and scheduled meetings, screen sharing and 5 GB of file storage. Meetings stop at 60 minutes and recordings aren't included. Microsoft 365 Personal or Family raises meetings to 30 hours and 300 participants and adds recordings. In the Teams iPhone app, Microsoft 365 Personal is $9.99 a month and Family is $12.99 a month (US App Store).
