Microsoft Teams alternative
A Teams alternative for teams that just want to talk.
Freesbe is team chat, video huddles, scheduled meetings with guest links and a phone line in one app, without a Microsoft 365 subscription. Business is $4 per person a month billed yearly and includes the phone line, which on Teams is a separate Teams Phone license. People still sign in with their Microsoft account.

Chat first, calls one click away
Freesbe opens on your conversations. Start a huddle in any channel or DM, share your screen, and keep chatting while the call stays in a corner or a floating window.
Meetings that guests open in a browser
Scheduled meetings have their own link, your logo and a waiting room. Guests join without an account or an app, and invites carry a calendar file for Outlook, Google Calendar and Apple Calendar.
Keep your Microsoft sign-in and calendar
People sign in with their Microsoft work account, and admins on Corporate can require it. Connect a Microsoft calendar to see busy times while scheduling and show In a meeting automatically.
Where Teams is the better fit
Teams meetings hold up to 300 people, where Freesbe huddles and meetings hold 20. Teams also comes with Office apps, SharePoint and file collaboration. If you need large meetings or already live in Microsoft 365, Teams may suit you better.
