Alternatives to Zoom Workplace
By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated — live App Store data verified
The short version
Zoom Workplace runs video meetings, team chat, phone, and scheduling in one app. Reviewers find it useful but want more user control and report scheduling quirks for repeating meetings. For a trusted enterprise swap, Webex Meetings delivers conferencing at scale with a 4.63 rating across 900,000+ reviews, and 8x8 Work bundles calls, video, and chat. Zoho Meeting is a lighter free option. The list ranks by embedding similarity and live App Store ratings.
The app you searched for
Zoom Communications, Inc.
People look for Zoom Workplace alternatives when meetings feel over-complicated, when scheduling acts up, or when IT wants a different collaboration stack. Reviews call it useful for everyday calls but flag a cluttered interface, limited customization, and bugs scheduling repeating meetings. The picks here mostly do the same core job: host and join video meetings with screen sharing, chat, and scheduling. Some are full unified-communications platforms with voice and team messaging, a few are Zoom's own companion apps for managed devices or room control, and others are lighter meeting tools. We ranked these picks by embedding similarity to Zoom Workplace's meeting-and-collaboration model, then weighed live App Store ratings and review counts so you can tell battle-tested platforms from niche tools. Most require an account on their service, so check what your team already uses before switching.
Why it's similar
Both are Zoom Workplace apps with the same all-in-one chat, meetings, phone, and whiteboard collaboration platform. The experience is essentially identical to the standard app.
How it differs
This Intune version is built for admins to protect corporate data in BYOD environments with mobile application management. It targets IT-managed deployments rather than general users, with a 4.69 rating across 18,233 reviews.
Why it's similar
Both are Zoom apps tied to the same meetings ecosystem, sharing video and conferencing infrastructure. Each connects you to Zoom meetings.
How it differs
Zoom Rooms is a controller for conference-room hardware, not a personal meeting app, so it remotely starts and manages room devices. Reviewers report iPad connection issues and version-specific bugs, and its 3.39 rating across 228 reviews reflects a rougher, niche tool.
Why it's similar
Both join Zoom meetings with stored meeting IDs and a video-focused experience for participants. Each gets you into a Zoom call quickly.
How it differs
Participant is an intentionally stripped-down third-party Zoom client with no host, sharing, or poll features. It is free with in-app purchases and a 4.73 rating across 6,905 reviews, deliberately simpler than Zoom Workplace's full toolkit.
Why it's similar
Both help teams collaborate and get work done, with Zoho Projects coordinating tasks and decisions on the go. Each supports distributed teamwork.
How it differs
Zoho Projects is project-management software for planning activities and assigning work, not a video-meeting app. With a 4.44 rating across 733 reviews it covers a different collaboration need than Zoom's real-time meetings.
Why it's similar
Both let you host or join secure online meetings with audio, video, screen sharing, chat, polls, and raise-hand. The meeting feature set lines up closely with Zoom.
How it differs
Zoho Meeting hosts up to 250 participants and is free, part of the Zoho suite rather than a standalone phone-and-chat platform. With a 4.52 rating across 1,753 reviews it is a lighter, lower-cost meeting tool than Zoom Workplace.
Why it's similar
Both put business communications in one app with secure voice calls, HD video meetings, and team chat. The unified-communications scope matches Zoom Workplace well.
How it differs
8x8 Work centers on cloud phone and contact-center communications alongside video. With a 3.78 rating across 8,609 reviews it is lower-rated than Zoom, and it requires an 8x8 business account.
Why it's similar
Both are workplace-experience hubs for staying connected, with Appspace adding company news and room booking. Each supports on-the-go collaboration.
How it differs
Appspace centers on digital signage, company communications, and desk and room booking rather than video meetings. With only 62 ratings it is a niche workplace-experience tool, not a Zoom-style meeting platform.
Why it's similar
Both keep coworkers connected wherever they are, with messaging and file sharing for teams. Each supports workplace communication.
How it differs
Workplace Chat from Meta is team messaging only, with no native video-meeting hosting like Zoom. With a 4.8 rating across 47,163 reviews it is well-rated for chat, but it is a different category from Zoom's full meetings platform.
Why it's similar
Both let you host or join online meetings with VoIP audio, content sharing, chat, recording, and a whiteboard. The meeting toolkit overlaps with Zoom.
How it differs
join.me from GoTo is a simpler meetings product with a 4.21 rating across 1,908 reviews, lower and far less reviewed than Zoom. It lacks Zoom's integrated phone, team chat, and broad enterprise footprint.
Why it's similar
Both are major video-conferencing platforms with secure meetings, screen sharing, and chat trusted by enterprises. Each handles large-scale business meetings.
How it differs
Webex Meetings from Cisco runs over 25 billion meetings monthly and leans on Cisco's enterprise security pedigree. With a 4.63 rating across 908,792 reviews it is the most proven alternative here, though it is meetings-focused rather than Zoom's all-in-one workplace suite.
Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Zoom Workplace, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.
We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.
The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
