A side-by-side editorial comparison of Eventzilla and Jitsi — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Eventzilla vs Jitsi: at a glance
What is Eventzilla?
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
What is Jitsi?
Jitsi caps free meet.jit.si calls at 95 minutes and spreads meetings across screens
Jitsi's recent posts pair product work with a change to its free public service. Meetings on meet.jit.si are now limited to 95 minutes, with more changes announced but not described. On the software side, Jitsi Meet gains multi-screen support, following Document Picture-in-Picture, backend tracing and a rebuilt transcription architecture over the summer.

Eventzilla
0.0MEETINGS
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
◆ Current state
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
◆ Where it's heading
The blog has resumed, but with advice content rather than product news. The registration-page post sits close to the product's own registration pages, which may be where future product updates land.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from the feed; more marketing posts are likelier than a product release.

Jitsi caps free meet.jit.si calls at 95 minutes and spreads meetings across screens
◆ Current state
Jitsi's recent posts pair product work with a change to its free public service. Meetings on meet.jit.si are now limited to 95 minutes, with more changes announced but not described. On the software side, Jitsi Meet gains multi-screen support, following Document Picture-in-Picture, backend tracing and a rebuilt transcription architecture over the summer.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks are diverging: the open-source stack keeps adding capability for rooms and multi-display setups, while the hosted meet.jit.si is being constrained. The 'more changes are coming' line signals that the free tier is being reshaped.
◆ Prediction
Further restrictions or account requirements on meet.jit.si are the most likely next announcement; the feed does not say what form they take.
