Every free video tier that clears our bar in 2026: 3 offers meet the criteria and 3 offers are demoted with a named reason. Recorded changes and a published ranking method. We could not confirm today's terms for 4 of them: on 2 the page we cite did not answer, and on 2 our own read did not confirm them. Each row says why.
The Free plan offers 100K free monthly delivery minutes, up to 10 stored videos, on-demand video only, 100K free monthly Mux Robots units, and 6k free monthly live caption minutes. No credit card required.
Video calling API with 10,000 free participant-minutes/month. After those, video calls cost $0.004 per participant-minute and audio-only calls $0.00099, with volume discounts, and Daily's pricing FAQ says there is no hard cap that stops calls. Real-time calls support up to 1,000 active participants. Signing up is free, but Daily's quickstart asks new accounts to add a credit card before creating a room, and recording, transcription and live streaming are for paid accounts (a card on file). Deepgram is acquiring Daily (announced October 29, 2026); Daily says that for its customers "nothing will change" and that Deepgram will sell, support and develop all of Daily's current products and services.
Embeddable video conferencing API. Free Explore plan: 2,000 participant-minutes/month, up to 200 participants per room, 24 active video feeds. When we last read the page we cite for this offer, on 2026-11-10, we refused the change we considered recording because it named no figure that had moved, and refusing a change is not a confirmation of the terms above, so we cannot confirm these terms today.
Video hosting with viewer analytics, HD video delivery, and marketing tools to help understand your visitors, 25 videos, and Wistia branded player. When we last read the page we cite for this offer, on 2026-11-03, we found a change we could not reconcile with the terms we publish, so we cannot confirm these terms today.
Meetings with upto 3 meeting participants & 10 Webinar attendees. The page we cite for Zoho Meeting names a plan but states no amount, so these limits come from our own record rather than from that page.
Yet another Meeting software for training for a remote session of up to 5 attendees. The page we cite for this offer states no amount, tier or rate we can read when we last looked, on 2026-10-10, so we cannot confirm these terms today.

We publish no ranking of these. Nothing we record measures popularity or generosity, so naming a best or a top few would be our preference rather than our data. We hold 3 free video offers that clear our bar, each listed with the terms we publish and the date we last read them. Our ranking rule is published at /criteria.
3 offers meet our criteria for this category. Of those, 2 carry no recorded change to the terms we publish, and we publish no durability signal for 1. The Durability column below says which offer is in which group, and links the dated record behind every change. We withhold the class where the pricing page does not resolve or states no amount, tier or rate we can read, where we refused the last read, where the listing is gated, or where a narrowing in our records cites no source or no archived copy of the vendor's page has confirmed it. We do not rank these by how much you get, because the limits are not comparable without reading each vendor's page.
