Webex review

Webex is the most complete meeting platform here for businesses that want AI help in every call. Cisco's US pricing page lists Webex Free with unlimited meetings of up to 40 minutes, up to 100 attendees, screen sharing with annotation, unlimited whiteboards, local recording and advanced noise cancellation. Webex Meet costs $144 a user a year, shown as $12 a user a month, and adds the AI Assistant, meetings up to 24 hours, 200 attendees, 10 GB of AI-powered cloud recording, closed captions and Slido polls. Webex Suite at $270 a user a year adds a business phone number. The page also runs a promotion of 6 months free when you buy 5 or more licenses. Webex says it does not take a credit card for the free plan. The 40 minute free limit is shorter than Google Meet or Zoho Meeting. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
