ZOREAL Meet
Alternatives to Reality Defender
Reality Defender sells deepfake detection for synthetic audio, video and images in real time; RealMeeting is its meeting product, detecting AI-generated video and voice in live Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings through a web app, with participants labelled Authentic or Manipulated, confidence scores and in-call alerts. ZOREAL Meet is its own meeting product: video and voice meetings in the browser, joined by link, where the host can require every participant to prove that a live, enrolled human is present, with or without disclosing their verified name. This page sets the two side by side as a detector added to other platforms against protection carried inside the call.
Information last reviewed 10 September 2026. Compared: RealMeeting against ZOREAL Meet. RealScan, RealAPI and RealCall overlap ZOREAL Verify and have their own page there; Reality Defender’s funding, revenue and headquarters are not stated in the public materials we reviewed and are out of scope.
Where ZOREAL Meet and Reality Defender differ
Built into the call
ZOREAL Meet has built-in deepfake protection. ZOREAL Meet has built-in voice-cloning detection.
Identity in the meeting
ZOREAL Meet has built-in ID verification, so you can identify the person in the meeting: for a job interview, or any conversation where identity matters. ZOREAL Meet has built-in proof of human inside the meeting.
Inspecting the pixels, or binding the person
RealMeeting inspects the video and audio of a tile for signs of AI generation or manipulation and returns Authentic or Manipulated with a confidence score; it states no claim about who the participant is. ZOREAL binds the participant to a government document whose chip was read and verified at enrolment and to a live face captured then; a presence check face-matches a fresh liveness capture against that document, and the verified legal name is shown at the Identity level.
A web app beside Zoom, or the room
RealMeeting runs as a web app alongside Zoom and Microsoft Teams with no setup, integrations or technical resources required, and has no published price. ZOREAL Meet runs the room: Unlimited meetings of up to 40 minutes on the Free plan, 25 on video and 100 attendees, proof of human presence included; joining by link never needs an account or a plan. Current prices are on the ZOREAL price list at zoreal.com/pricing.
Side by side
Comparison of ZOREAL Meet and Reality Defender RealMeeting, based on public materials reviewed on 10 September 2026.
| Attribute | ZOREAL Meet | Reality Defender |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Inside the call. ZOREAL Meet runs the meeting itself: video and voice meetings in the browser, joined by link, with the presence check run through the ZOREAL ID app and the verdict written to room metadata by the server. No second meeting platform is involved. | As a web app alongside Zoom and Microsoft Teams, accessible instantly with no setup, integrations or technical resources required; Webex and Google Meet are not listed. The wider platform offers plugins for web conferencing apps, an API, and on-premise, hosted SaaS, private cloud and secure container deployment (realitydefender.com, September 2026). |
| Identity verification at call time | ZOREAL Meet has built-in ID verification, so you can identify the person in the meeting: for a job interview, or any conversation where identity matters. A presence check is an OAuth login: ZOREAL Meet is a relying party of the ZOREAL OpenID Provider over the same pairing protocol every relying party uses. The participant scans a QR code with the ZOREAL ID app, runs the full liveness capture, is face-matched server-side against the document read at enrolment, and approves with a device signature from a hardware-bound, biometric-gated key. The provider derives the assurance from a presence attestation it minted itself, the acr floor is enforced on the claim, and the verdict is written to room metadata by the server, never self-declared by a participant. Both levels run the same capture and the same match; they differ only in what the room learns. A check runs when the host asks a participant, or everyone who joins from then on, to prove presence; the badge lasts for that connection. | Not stated: RealMeeting detects manipulation and labels participants Authentic or Manipulated with confidence scores. Identity verification of a participant against a document, an enrolment image or a voiceprint is not stated in the RealMeeting materials we reviewed (realitydefender.com, September 2026). |
| Proof of human | ZOREAL Meet has built-in proof of human inside the meeting. | Detection that a participant’s video and voice show no signs of AI generation or manipulation, with a confidence score; a liveness challenge the participant answers, or a check bound to a document or enrolment, is not stated in the materials we reviewed. |
| Deepfake and voice-clone detection | ZOREAL Meet has built-in deepfake protection. ZOREAL Meet has built-in voice-cloning detection. | Detects AI-generated video and voice in real time during live Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings, with real-time risk scoring, in-call alerts and reporting on attendees; no accuracy or latency figure is stated for RealMeeting (realitydefender.com, September 2026). |
| Pricing | Free: unlimited meetings, up to 40 minutes per meeting, 25 on video and 100 attendees, proof of human presence included, meeting history 30 days. Premium: up to 90 minutes per meeting, presence with verified name metered per check, require presence when joining, audio recording, email meeting minutes to attendees, AI agents metered per listening minute, AI Knowledge, AI note taking listed as "Coming soon" and metered per meeting hour, meeting history unlimited. Premium is priced per user, monthly or yearly, with two months free on yearly billing; every organization member is a paid Premium seat; metered usage is charged separately. Enterprise: contact us. Joining a meeting by link is always free. Current prices are on the ZOREAL price list at zoreal.com/pricing. | No published price for RealMeeting as of September 2026; the pricing path returned 404 and the product page routes to a demo request. The company’s RealAPI file-scanning tier is published from $0 per month for 50 scans, with Enterprise custom; these are file-scanning prices, not the meeting product. |
| Encryption | Encrypted in transit by default and readable at the media nodes; the host can start an encrypted room (SFrame end to end) in which the nodes cannot read the call and recording, transcription and AI notes are refused | Not a meeting platform: encryption of the call is Zoom’s or Microsoft Teams’. Reality Defender states deployment options of API integration, on-premise, hosted SaaS, private cloud and secure container; data handling and retention for meeting media beyond that are not stated in the materials we reviewed. |
| Certifications | Organization-level, as zoreal.com lists them for Bynn Intelligence, Inc.: SOC 2 (attestation), PCI DSS (SAQ A), GDPR (data protection), ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security certification) and CSA STAR Level One (cloud security self-assessment). No Meet-specific certification is stated on zoreal.com as of September 2026. | The RealMeeting page lists SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and UK Cyber Essentials under privacy compliance (realitydefender.com, September 2026). |
| Booking | Booking is built into Meet: meeting booking inside the product, included. | Not applicable to a detection layer on another platform; a booking feature is not stated in the materials we reviewed. |
| Meeting agents | Meet is unique in its meeting agents: create agents with memory, a CFO agent for example, that have access to previous meeting transcripts and minutes and can be invited into meetings. | Not applicable to a detection layer on another platform; meeting agents, notes or transcription are not stated in the materials we reviewed. |
Third-party details on this page reflect what each provider publicly stated on the review date shown above and may have changed since. Where a provider does not state something publicly, this page says so rather than assuming. Statements about what Reality Defender offers reflect its public materials on the review date; absence of a feature from those materials does not mean it is unavailable. ZOREAL's current prices are on the ZOREAL price list.
Where ZOREAL Meet and Reality Defender agree
Both are aimed at deepfakes in live meetings, and both alert the host rather than acting alone: RealMeeting raises an in-call alert when manipulation is detected, ZOREAL writes the presence verdict to the room and leaves admission to the host. Both name what they do not cover: Reality Defender states no identity claim, and ZOREAL states that its presence check binds the live human to their phone and this room session, not to the webcam pixels.
Both offer a free entry point, for different things: Reality Defender’s RealAPI file-scanning tier at $0 per month for 50 scans, ZOREAL’s Free plan with proof of human presence included. Neither publishes an accuracy figure for its meeting product, so this page draws no accuracy comparison.
The two approach the problem from opposite ends. Reality Defender inspects the pixels and audio for synthesis as a web app beside Zoom and Teams; ZOREAL binds the person to a chip-read government document and a live challenge inside its own room, and carries deepfake and voice-clone protection in the call.
ZOREAL Meet may fit you if
- You want to know who the participant is, bound to a government document chip and a live face, with the verified legal name shown at the Identity level
- You want a check the participant answers live through the ZOREAL ID app, with the verdict written to the room by the server
- You want deepfake and voice-clone protection inside the meeting product itself, with a published price list and a Free plan
- You want booking pages and meeting agents with memory of previous meetings inside the same product
Reality Defender may fit you if
- Your meetings run on Zoom or Microsoft Teams and you want detection without integration work
- You want a synthesis detector with confidence scores rather than a participant identity check
- You also need file, image, audio and call detection from one vendor, with on-premise or private-cloud deployment
- You want SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and UK Cyber Essentials stated for the meeting product
