Fathom has a surprising free tier! I was actually confused with the features that they offered me for free. I figured I must have been on a free trial. I did have a free trial of some of the premium features, but even when those expired, I assumed a lot of those would have been hidden behind a paywall, and to my shock the more I use Fathom the better it gets.

All within the free tier somehow.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this tool is perfect. There's nothing lacking, even on the free tier, for me. I'm almost concerned that they're offering too much. I would like in-person meetings, but I know they're on the roadmap to come out for iOS soon, so I'll stick with that!

Other tools offer similar features, but you'll notice that they're not nearly as generous or as helpful as Fathom. For example, the native features within Zoom are way overpriced. In Google Meet, they're decent, but not quite as straightforward and focused as Fathom. I went down the rabbit hole to see who else was offering similar features and benefits and all of them had a downside or a limited free tier. Fathom is by far the most developer-friendly, user-friendly, and even wallet friendly of all options that I checked.
