So, here’s the thing about virtual meeting platforms: they’re either ridiculously expensive or they’re constantly reminding you that your free trial is about to end. We got tired of it, so we built AONMeetings.

The 40-Minute Problem Nobody Talks About

You know that feeling when you’re finally making progress in a client call, everyone’s on the same page, and then… “This meeting will end in 5 minutes.” Cue the awkward scramble to either upgrade on the spot or try to schedule a follow-up while everyone’s scattered.

It’s not just annoying—it’s unprofessional. Imagine you’re a freelance designer walking a client through revisions, or a consultant in the middle of a strategy session. That countdown timer isn’t just breaking your flow; it’s literally cutting into your ability to do your job properly.

We thought: what if meetings just… didn’t have arbitrary time limits?

The Real Cost of “Free” Meeting Tools

Let’s do some quick math. Most free tiers give you 40 minutes. If you’re running client meetings, that’s barely enough time to: – Get through the small talk – Share your screen – Walk through your presentation – Handle questions – Wrap up professionally

Now you’re either: 1. Paying $15-20/month per user (which adds up fast if you have a team) 2. Doing that awkward “let me send you a new link” dance mid-meeting 3. Rushing through important conversations

For small businesses and solopreneurs, this is a real problem. You’re already juggling a million things—your meeting platform shouldn’t be one more thing to manage.

What We Actually Built

AONMeetings is basically what we wish existed when we were dealing with all this:

Unlimited meeting time. Period. No countdown timers, no interruptions, no “upgrade now” pop-ups mid-meeting. Your meetings end when you’re actually done, not when some arbitrary timer runs out.

Straightforward pricing. We’re not doing the whole “per user per month unless you want this feature then it’s actually more” thing. You know exactly what you’re paying for.

Everything you actually need: – Calendar sync with Google Calendar and Outlook (because manually sending meeting links is annoying) – Screen sharing that actually works consistently – Real-time chat for sharing links and notes during meetings – Document sharing without weird file size limits or compatibility issues – Reminders so people actually show up

Security that doesn’t cost extra. Your client calls shouldn’t be floating around unencrypted. Basic security shouldn’t be a premium feature.

Who This Is Actually For

We’re not trying to compete with enterprise platforms that have 47 different admin settings and require an IT degree to configure. If you need advanced compliance certifications or custom API integrations, there are platforms for that (and they cost accordingly).

AONMeetings is for: –

  • Freelancers and consultants who need to run professional client meetings without platform anxiety.
  • Small businesses tired of paying per-user fees that scale faster than their revenue.
  • Remote teams who just want reliable video calls without the enterprise complexity.
  • Anyone who’s ever had a meeting cut off at the worst possible moment.

The Stuff People Actually Say

One user (Ramona) told us it’s “been a game changer for me as a small business owner. It’s affordable and I can meet with clients for as long as we need!”

That’s literally the goal. Your tools should make your work easier, not create new problems to solve.

What We’re NOT Doing

Let’s be honest about what we’re not: – We’re not building 500 features you’ll never use – We’re not trying to be your entire business operating system – We’re not going to suddenly jack up prices once you’re locked in – We’re not collecting and selling your data (seriously, why is this even a thing?)

We’re just focused on being really good at one thing: letting you have reliable, unlimited virtual meetings without the usual headaches.

The Actual Point

Here’s what it comes down to: meeting platforms have gotten weirdly complicated and expensive for what most people actually need. You just want to hop on a call, share your screen, and have a productive conversation without worrying about timers, surprise charges, or whether the platform will randomly drop your call.

That’s what we built. No gimmicks, no bait-and-switch pricing, no features you need a tutorial to understand.

If you’re tired of meeting platform nonsense, check out AONMeetings. We’re not perfect, but we’re pretty solid at the whole “letting people have meetings” thing.
