Pricing Compared
Starting price reflects the lowest paid tier, not the full cost for every team size or usage level.
Peer-to-peer architecture scales poorly beyond small groups compared to SFU-based tools
No official managed hosting or enterprise SLA from the core project
Requires server setup and maintenance knowledge to self-host
Community-driven support rather than dedicated customer service
Large groups should use MiroTalk SFU instead, adding a decision step for new users
Galene
Pros
Free and MIT-licensed, with full source code access and no vendor lock-in
Very low CPU and RAM footprint compared to many comparable SFUs
Cross-platform server support across Linux, macOS, Windows and ARM devices
Actively maintained with funded development and an independent security review
Proven in production at major universities and open-source conferences
Cons
No official managed or hosted SaaS option; self-hosting is required
Requires system administration skills to deploy and maintain
User interface is more minimal than commercial tools like Zoom or Google Meet
Many-to-many meetings scale quadratically, limiting very large all-camera calls
Smaller community and fewer integrations than Jitsi Meet
Use Cases
MiroTalk P2P
Small team meetings — Teams that want a free, self-hosted Zoom alternative for quick calls with chat and screen sharing.
Client presentations — Consultants and freelancers sharing screens and whiteboards with a small number of clients.
Privacy-focused organizations — Groups that need full control over where call data is processed and stored by self-hosting their own instance.
Galene
University lecture and remote examination platform — Originally built for and still used to deliver lectures, tutorials and supervised remote exams at Universite Paris Cite and Sorbonne Universite.
Conference and community event streaming — Used to host free-software and academic conferences such as LibrePlanet 2024 and JFLA 2021, letting organizers avoid proprietary conferencing platforms.
Privacy-conscious self-hosted meetings — Deployed by organizations that want full control over meeting data and infrastructure instead of relying on a third-party video SaaS.
