As with most software-as-a-service (SaaS), video conferencing providers offer multiple pricing tiers. The lowest tier is available at no cost for many of the services we tested. These free offerings are great for connecting with friends and family, as well as for occasional business use. However, they have limited features, and come with restrictions on how long meetings can be and how many people can attend. Organizations that plan to use video conferencing as an everyday tool should invest in a paid service to take advantage of additional capabilities. Among the services we reviewed, the median pricing for business-grade service is around $13 per user per month. Most also offer more expensive tiers for enterprises. As usual, the greater your needs, the more you can expect to pay. Although most services charge by the number of users, others charge by the number of hosts. Generally, services priced per host are designed for webinar-type usage, where only a host can initiate a meeting (and meetings will typically have many attendees). On the other hand, services that are priced per user are usually meant for more peer-to-peer usage, where anyone can start a meeting.
