# Open-source alternatives to Zoom Workplace Pro

> Open-source alternatives to Zoom Workplace Pro that run locally, allow commercial use and need no paid API include Jitsi Meet (video meetings and screen sharing; Apache-2.0; runs on CPU). None of the 2 projects we track covers all 3 Zoom Workplace Pro jobs, so most people combine two or more.

Zoom Workplace Pro: Zoom Workplace offers paid video meetings and collaboration tools. These alternatives cover meetings and screen sharing; Zoom Phone, webinars, AI Companion and the complete Workplace bundle are outside this comparison. Pricing: See pricing page (checked 2026-10-16).
