A diferença real
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Around stands out with Floating circle video bubbles and Auto noise cancellation. Google Meet counters with Live captions and translation and Meeting recordings (paid).
Around's Achilles heel: absorbed into miro — standalone product identity is fading, and you’re locked into miro’s ecosystem now. Google Meet's: feature-light compared to zoom — no breakout rooms on free plan, limited recording, fewer controls. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value floating circle video bubbles and times de design e, go with Around. If times google workspace que matters more, Google Meet is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
