Logitech MeetUp vs Rally Plus: which to buy?
Logitech MeetUp vs Logitech Rally Plus: room size, platforms, camera, mics and price compared, plus which to buy.

Short answer: pick the MeetUp if you want the one that costs $2,310 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Rally Plus if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms) and picks up voices farther away (23 ft vs 13 ft).

Both are Teams and Zoom certified USB devices; the difference is camera and audio.
