When to Choose 8x8 Work

Global businesses that need unlimited international calling bundled with video conferencing and UCaaS

8x8 Work's standout feature is unlimited international calling to 48 countries, which is genuinely unique in the market. The video conferencing is solid but not exceptional. Best for global teams where the calling bundle justifies the price — for video-only needs, there are better options.

Strengths

  • Unlimited international calling to 48 countries included — unique value for global teams
  • AI meeting summaries and insights across voice, video, and messaging channels
  • Strong compliance credentials for regulated industries (HIPAA, GDPR)
  • Unified platform covering phone, video, chat, and contact center

Limitations

  • No free tier — requires commitment to the full UCaaS platform
  • AI features are less advanced than Zoom AI Companion or Dialpad
  • Pricing not publicly listed — requires contacting sales for exact quotes

When to Choose Zoho Meeting

Zoho ecosystem users and budget-conscious small businesses that need reliable, affordable video meetings

Zoho Meeting is the ultimate budget pick at $1/host/mo. If you're already in the Zoho ecosystem, it integrates beautifully with CRM, Projects, and other Zoho apps. The complete lack of AI features is a significant gap in 2026, but for basic meetings at an unbeatable price, it delivers.

Strengths

  • Incredibly affordable at $1/host/mo — the cheapest paid option in our roundup
  • Deep integration with the Zoho ecosystem of 35+ business apps
  • Free tier supports 10 participants for 60-minute meetings
  • Clean, straightforward interface with low learning curve

Limitations

  • No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or intelligent automation
  • Limited functionality outside the Zoho ecosystem
  • Basic video quality and collaboration tools compared to market leaders
