... I use and recommend Jitsi as a Free Software alternative.
Do you self-host? Any 3rd party host recommendable?
If you need the service for a Free Software project talk to FOSShost about
them hosting for you.
https://meet.jit.si/ is a no cost service available for use from the jitsi
project and 8x8 ( the company sponsoring and funding the jitsi project ).
We used this service for RaiseMe's 1 on 1 career counseling sessions last
weekend. It worked well.

You can also pay 8x8 for an account. I pay $10/mo, but don't know if
that's current pricing.
I don't use it much as I've mostly moved to my hosted Big Blue Button
instance. That's more expensive, $40/month, but had a waiting room
feature in the Spring when I decided on one platform or another for my
local group.

I've been quite happy with it. BBB does have limitations if lots of people
are sharing video, but for me that's usually not more than a couple people
at a time.
Also, kidling school is using BBB. All the friends were used to BBB when
school started as they'd been using my instance all Summer :).
