Freehold / Alternatives / Zoom
Zoom is rented: they set the price, the rules and what you can change. Freehold builds live sessions, 1:1 video calls and the rest of your business as your own platform, with your own app, for one flat price from $1,900.

|---|---|---|
| Price | Zoom Pro: $16.99 a month (per user, billed monthly) Zoom Business: $21.99 a month (per user, billed monthly) | One price, from $1,900. No monthly platform fee. |
| Cut of your sales | Depends on the plan | None. Only Stripe's card fee. |
| Whose accounts | Theirs | Yours: your Stripe, your Cloudflare, your domain |
| Your own app | Their app or their website | Your name and icon on members' phones, with push alerts |
| Who can change the rules | Zoom | You |
If you want to own your platform instead of renting it, yes. Freehold builds live sessions, 1:1 video calls and more as one platform on your own accounts, for one price. Zoom is a subscription you keep paying for as long as you use it.
The Pro plan includes moving you over; on other plans it's an add-on. What can be moved depends on what Zoom lets you export.
