Package Comparison:

WebEx Free vs. Zoom Basic vs. FreeConferenceCall:

WebEx and Zoom both offer a free plan that's best suited for solo entrepreneurs and startup businesses, while FreeConferenceCall is a completely free platform with no scalable plans. All three competitors offer standard features like conference calling, sharing options, and call management tools.

Of the three competitors, FreeConferenceCall's package offers the best value, boasting features commonly found in paid plans. These include breakout rooms, studio presentations, call detail reports, and radio, among others.

WebEx and Zoom's Basic plans are very similar in terms of features, with both offering instant and scheduled meetings, group messaging, and file sharing. However, WebEx's Free plan has a slight edge, providing significant features missing from Zoom's plan, including interactive whiteboarding, message threads, and grid and floating view.

Users looking for a more basic plan will enjoy Zoom's free option. The plan may be lacking certain features found in both competitors' plans, but it still offers some sought-after features rarely found in other packages, such as breakout and waiting rooms, and meeting IDs.

WebEx Meet vs. Zoom Pro vs. GoToMeeting Professional:

All three plans are well-priced, with the cheapest plan starting at $14.00 per month, per user. The three plans all feature many robust features ideal for small businesses, including unlimited meetings, transcription, video and audio conferencing, and reporting.

Zoom's Pro plan stands out as the plan with the least robust features, lacking tools found in both GoToMeeting and WebEx's plans, including whiteboard, file, desktop, and application sharing. The Pro package is also listed as the most expensive option, with prices starting at $14.99 per user, per month.

WebEx's Meet plan is one of the more costly plans at $14.50 per user, per month. However, WebEx's plan is better equipped, offering everything from customizable personal rooms and calendar integrations to meeting recordings and user management tools.

GoToMeeting's Professional plan is the company's entry-level plan, offering many of the features found in WebEx's Starter plan. Despite the similarities, GoToMeeting stands out as the plan with the most advanced features, including drawing tools, note-taking, smart assistant, and keyboard and mouse sharing.

WebEx Enterprise vs. Zoom Business vs. GoToMeeting Business:

The three plans are all ideal for small and medium-sized businesses that are interested in more advanced collaboration tools. Users will enjoy features like customizable URLs, company branding, and even advanced webinar features.

Between the three plans, Zoom's Business plan is the most expensive option, yet it lacks many robust integrations and features found in both WebEx and GoToMeeting's plans. However, Zoom's Business plan is still one of the more feature-rich plans listed by the company. With this plan, Zoom users now have access to on-premises deployment, custom emails, and managed domains.

WebEx and GoToMeeting offer two very similar plans, with both featuring tools like analytics and a powerful administrative portal, among others. GoToMeeting still manages to outshine WebEx when it comes to limitations and integrations. While WebEx mainly integrates with other WebEx tools, GoToMeeting can integrate with Salesforce, Google Calendar, and Slack. In addition, businesses can host up to 250 participants, which is 150 more participants than WebEx.
