Zoom alternativeMeet for hours, not 40 minutes.

Free meetings cost nothing. The ADLR workspace is $5 per user a month, from the first seat, after 30 days free with no card.

Why teams look beyond Zoom
Zoom is excellent at video calls. The trouble starts with the timer, and with the work a call is about.
The 40-minute timer
Zoom's free Basic plan ends meetings at 40 minutes. A free ADLR meeting runs up to 5 hours, and meetings inside an ADLR workspace have no time cap.
Calls that keep their notes
In an ADLR workspace, a Room keeps a team's meetings, chat and files together, and Adi writes the minutes when AI is on.
Invoices and HR are extra
Zoom Workplace covers meetings, chat, mail and calendar. Invoicing and HR mean more products to buy and connect. ADLR includes them in the seat.

Where Zoom still wins
An honest list, so you can decide with your eyes open.
Recordings and AI summaries
On Pro, Zoom records meetings and writes unlimited AI summaries (three a month on Basic). ADLR doesn't record: a Room keeps each meeting's chat and files, and Adi writes the minutes when AI is on.
Bigger meetings
Zoom Business holds 300 people, and Large Meeting raises that. A free ADLR meeting holds up to 100 people, and so does a workspace meeting's guest link.
Apps, whiteboards and calling
Zoom Workplace has apps for desktop and phone, whiteboards and VoIP calling. ADLR runs in the browser and has no whiteboard.
What you keep from Zoom
The meeting habits your team already has. What changes is everything around them.
- Meetings in the browser
- Guests join with just a name
- Screen share
- Chat in the meeting
- Reactions and raise hand
- Live captions
- Background blur
- A lobby before you join
Built for the way client teams work
A project's chat next to the build
Each project has its own chat beside its tasks, and Tasks has a GitHub view, so a question in chat is one click from the work.
From the client's email to a paid invoice
Client email on your own domain, the contract they sign and an invoice they can pay by card, all in one workspace.
Stand-ups that keep their notes
A Room keeps a team's meetings, chat and files together, with Adi's minutes when AI is on.
Switching, with help
There's nothing to export from Zoom. Here is how teams move over.
Start a free meeting
Open meetings.adlr.app, copy the link and share it. Nobody needs an account, and guests give a name.
Book your onboarding call
Thirty minutes with us, and you leave with a migration plan. Migration help is free.
Set up your workspace
Invite the team and schedule meetings with calendar invites that guests can accept.
Keep Zoom while you switch
The two aren't linked, so keep your Zoom links until everyone has moved.
Questions teams ask before switching
Free meetings are: no sign-up, up to 100 people for up to 5 hours. The ADLR workspace is $5 per user a month from the first seat, and its meetings have no time cap.
Up to 5 hours from when you make its link, for up to 100 people. Start it when you're ready to meet: a link nobody joins stops working within about 15 minutes.
Free meetings share capacity across ADLR, so at a busy moment a new one may have to wait a few minutes. Free meetings aren't recorded.
No. Guests join from the link in their browser and give a name.
No. ADLR doesn't record meetings. In a workspace, a Room keeps each meeting's chat and files, and Adi writes the minutes when AI is on.
Yes. Adi, ADLR's built-in AI, comes with every workspace seat. It writes a Room meeting's minutes when AI is on, sorts incoming mail and drafts replies, and works across your projects, tasks, calendar and deals.
Yes. In a workspace, a scheduled meeting sends calendar invites that guests can accept from their own calendar, and changes go out as updates.
Yes. Meetings run in your phone's browser. Sharing your screen from a phone works only where the browser supports it.
On 27 October 2026, Zoom Workplace Pro was $14.16 a user a month and Business $18.33, billed annually, and Basic was free with a 40-minute limit. ADLR's free meetings cost nothing, and the workspace is $5 a user a month with chat, email, projects, HR, finance and Adi included.
We plan your move with you: setting up the team and its Rooms, getting email onto your domain, and bringing your projects across.
Meetings that don't stop at 40 minutes.
Start a free meeting now, or run your meetings in the workspace that also runs your chat, email, projects and finance, with Adi working across your inbox, projects and calendar.
