The Verdict
GoTo Meeting is built for businesses and consultants, with a focus on video-meetings and screen-sharing. Microsoft Teams targets enterprise and teams and leads with chat and video-meetings.
On pricing, Microsoft Teams is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $4/mo compared to $14/mo for GoTo Meeting. That $10/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Microsoft Teams has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. GoTo Meeting requires a paid subscription from day one.
Both tools are a solid fit for remote workers — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: Microsoft Teams has a slight overall edge — but if reliable connection matters most to you, GoTo Meeting may still be the right call.
