Weighing your options between Google Meet and Eyre for video calls and meetings? Let’s see how Eyre compares to Google Meet in terms of functionality, pricing, pro and free plan offerings and other features under the comparison microscope.
Eyre is built for teams and individual users that value security and efficiency—offering a streamlined, professional experience with only the essential features needed for productive, compliant business communication. Unlike Google Meet, which blends workplace functionality with consumer-friendly features like emojis and backgrounds, Eyre strips away distractions to deliver a clean, secure environment that supports serious work without compromise.
Eyre creates direct peer-to-peer (P2P) video and audio connections, ensuring that audio and video data is transmitted directly between participants. This approach enhances call quality and security by minimizing latency and reducing reliance on external servers.
Google Meet uses client-server architecture rather than peer-to-peer connections. This means that Google Meet calls route through Google’s cloud servers. Therefore, standard Google Meet calls are not P2P connections. Instead, audio and video data typically flows between each participant and Google’s servers.
Eyre takes security more seriously than Google Meet, making it better for those who want to keep their conversations private. While Google Meet is secure enough for most meetings, Eyre is specifically designed to protect sensitive information with stronger privacy features. If you’re discussing confidential topics or need to meet strict security requirements, Eyre is probably the safer choice.
All calls and meetings are fully encrypted by default, ensuring that only participants can access the content. No third parties—including Eyre itself—can decrypt or monitor your conversations. Automatic, always-on E2EE for every meeting.
Eyre adopts a zero-trust and zero-knowledge model, meaning that even Eyre’s own team cannot access user data. This ensures that sensitive business meetings remain completely private.
Eyre: Implements multi-factor authentication (MFA) by default, ensuring that only verified users can join meetings. Additionally, blockchain-backed and on-premise security features (available in the Enterprise Plan) provide an extra layer of integrity protection for meeting records.
Eyre does not sell or share user data. Meetings remain fully private, and Eyre’s infrastructure is designed to minimize data collection beyond what is strictly necessary for service operation.
Google Meet collects user data such as meeting metadata and usage activity. Google Meet uses this data for analytics and service improvements, meaning that meeting metadata and usage data are accessible to Google advertising services and Google’s marketing partners.
Google Meet supports two-factor authentication (2FA) and uses secure meeting codes to prevent unauthorized access. It includes safety features like the ability to admit or remove participants and restrict screen sharing, helping to reduce the risk of disruptions similar to Zoombombing.

Eyre is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring that personal data is processed, stored under EU jurisdiction, and protected according to EU standards. Eyre offers features such as end-to-end encryption, data minimization, and user consent mechanisms, providing businesses with confidence in their data privacy practices.
While Google Meet is broadly GDPR compliant, some potential concerns have been raised:
Eyre focuses on AI features for professional use. Eyre offers a clean and intuitive user experience, eliminating unnecessary distractions to enhance productivity during meetings. The platform provides AI-generated meeting summaries, meeting agendas, meeting notes, and transcripts, allowing participants to quickly review key points and action items.
When comparing Eyre and Zoom, Eyre stands out as the more price-friendly option while offering strictly essential features for professional use.
Eyre’s pricing structure is simple and affordable, with AI-powered features available across all plans, including the Free Plan, which provides encrypted video calls, Speaker Notes, AI-generated summaries and transcripts—features that Zoom limits to paid tiers.
For just $9.95/month, Eyre’s Pro Plan includes 30 peer-to-peer (P2P) video calls, 30 video meetings, full AI features, document upload, and priority support. These features are available both for individual users and businesses who can create flexible teams.
For businesses requiring on-premise deployment, blockchain data backup, and custom AI models, Eyre’s Enterprise Plan provides a custom-tailored solution—ensuring security and compliance, particularly for European businesses.
Google Meet is relatively accessible in terms of pricing. It offers a free tier with essential features like 1-hour group meetings, screen sharing, and live captions—suitable for casual or personal use.
For more advanced features like longer meeting durations, breakout rooms, recording, and admin controls, it’s available through Google Workspace plans, starting at around $6/user/month (Business Starter). This makes it cost-effective, especially for teams already using Google Workspace. No AI features are included.
Google Meet’s higher-tier options are part of the Google Workspace Business Standard, Business Plus, and Enterprise plans, which range from $12 to $18+ per user/month, depending on the region and features.
While Google Meet focuses on casual touches—like animated emojis, virtual backgrounds—Eyre takes a different path. It’s purpose-built for productivity, with a sharper focus on security, core AI tools, and accessible pricing. Eyre stands out by offering powerful AI features at a lower cost, plus peer-to-peer connections that boost video quality. For professionals who want serious tools without the enterprise price tag, Eyre delivers standout value.
| Feature | Eyre | Google Meet |
|---|---|---|
| Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Calls | Yes – built-in P2P connections for improved video quality and lower latency. | No – relies on centralized servers, which can impact quality in some cases. |
| Security | End-to-end encryption, P2P architecture reduces server exposure. | Strong encryption in transit, but not end-to-end by default. |
| GDPR Compliance | Fully GDPR compliant with data hosted in Europe by default. | GDPR compliant; however, some concerns about cross-service data sharing. |
| Business Uses | Optimized for professional workflows with AI tools and minimal distractions. | Good for general meetings, especially within Google Workspace environments. |
| Value for Money | High – AI features and advanced security at lower price points. | Moderate – core features are free, but AI and admin tools require higher-tier plans. |
For privacy-conscious users and businesses, Eyre offers robust peer-to-peer capabilities, strict adherence to European data protection standards, and consistently high video quality. Google Meet, while widely used and feature-rich, has certain limitations in these areas, particularly concerning default P2P usage and consistent video resolution.
Eyre is built for professionals who value focus, performance, and privacy. Unlike Google Meet, which leans into casual features like animated emojis and virtual backgrounds, Eyre prioritizes productivity with AI-powered tools, peer-to-peer video quality, and end-to-end security by design.
Yes. Eyre uses peer-to-peer (P2P) connections whenever possible, reducing server dependence and improving video clarity and stability. Google Meet routes video through centralized servers, which can sometimes introduce latency.
Both platforms offer strong security, but Eyre goes further with end-to-end encryption and a P2P-first architecture that minimizes the surface area for attacks. Google Meet encrypts data in transit but does not offer end-to-end encryption by default.
Eyre is designed for focused, professional meetings with AI features that support workflows rather than distract. Google Meet integrates well with Google Workspace, making it suitable for teams already using that ecosystem.
Eyre offers AI-powered features and secure video at lower price points, making it a strong choice for small teams or startups. Google Meet has a free tier, but its more advanced capabilities (like recordings, noise cancellation, and AI summaries) are gated behind higher-cost Workspace plans.
Eyre skips the playful features in favor of clean, distraction-free calls. Google Meet is better suited if you’re looking for visual effects, fun filters, or expressive emojis.
Zoom’s AI Companion is powerful but locked behind expensive tiers. Google Meet’s AI tools are more limited. Eyre provides practical, AI-enhanced features like smart summaries and action capture—at a far more accessible price.
