Zoom is a bit more flexible when it comes to pricing and features. Not as tightly integrated with Google services.

Meet does allow you to record a meeting if needed, and you can chat with Hangouts Chat if need be. The features of Meet calls are pretty basic, as you can interact with everyone through video and audio, but there is screen sharing if someone needs to present something to everyone in the chat. All Meet calls can be done 1-on-1 or as a group, as long as others have the link or information to join a call via phone. Google Meet isn't necessarily something that you should be using for just chatting with friends, since the host needs to be on G Suite, and well, that costs money. If you want a free alternative to Google Meet, there is Google Hangouts, which supports video calls up to 25 people. As long as you have a Gmail address, then you can join a Google Meet, you just can't host one. However, participants do not necessarily need a G Suite email address to participate in a Google Meet - all they need is a Gmail address. Google Hangouts Meet is best suited for teams that are already using G Suite, since the Basic plan starts at $6 per user, and it goes up from there. This special deal will last until July 1, 2020. This promo is giving free access to advanced Hangouts Meet capabilities (up to 250 participants per call, live streaming for up to 100,000 viewers, and meeting recording saved to Google Drive) to all G Suite and G Suite for Education customers. While G Suite normally doesn't have a free option and usually starts at $6 per user per month for the Basic plan for up to 100 participants per Meet call, there is a special promotion happening right now. For example, meetings can be booked in advance through Google Calendar, and invites go out via Gmail. With Meet, you're getting more integration with other Google services, like Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Hangouts Chat, and more. If you or your team is already invested in G Suite, then Meet is probably the better choice to go with since you already have access to it. Since we use G Suite for all of our work accounts, it's just better integrated for our needs, and it doesn't require additional software besides a web browser if you're on desktop. Personally, I have been using Google Hangouts Meet every week for the past two years since that is what we use here at iMore.
