Cove vs Zoom
Zoom is built for work meetings. Cove is built for the people you love, with calls that sit right next to your shared photos and chat, have no time limit on the free plan, and are always private.
| Feature | Cove | Zoom |
|---|---|---|
| Free call length | No time limit | 40 minutes per meeting |
| People on a free call | Up to 15 (50 on paid plans) | Up to 100 |
| End-to-end encryption | Always on | Optional and off by default |
| Guests join from a link | Yes, in any browser | Yes |
| Screen sharing | Yes, HD on paid plans | Yes |
| Drop-in room | The Lounge, always open in every Space | Schedule or start a meeting |
| Between calls | Shared photos, chat and voice notes in your Space | Work chat and scheduling |
Cove is the better fit if…
- Family video nights shouldn't stop at 40 minutes.
- You want calls private by default, not as a setting.
- Your calls, photos and chat belong in one place.
Zoom may suit you better if…
You run work meetings, webinars, or free calls with more than 15 people.
Plenty of families use both. You can bring your photos and chat history into Cove at any time.
