Meeting Plans
It is almost impossible to mention America WebEx without thinking of meetings. The provision of meeting platforms of different audiences is at the very core of America WebEx. As such, America WebEx has four distinct meeting plans. We shall take a look at the America WebEx costs of the four different meeting plans. The four distinct meeting plans are Basic, Premium 8, Premium 25 and Premium 100.
Basic Meeting Plan
The basic meeting plan is most appropriate for small teams that are just trying out on videoconferencing for the first time. Under the Basic meeting plan, up to 3 people per meeting are allowed to hold meetings. The video quality under the basic meeting plan is standard. The best part of the basic meeting plan is that it is absolutely free. With the basic meeting plan, participants can share desktop, whiteboard and documents. The maximum storage under the basic meeting plan is 250 MB.
Premium 8 Meeting Plan
It is called ‘premium’ because it has some supreme features over the basic meeting plan. It is called ‘8’ because it allows up to 8 people to participate in a meeting. The video quality of Premium 8 is high definition and not the standard quality like that of the basic meeting. Under the Premium 8 meeting plan, participants can share desktop, whiteboard, documents, applications and remote control. You are allowed only one host license under this plan just like for the basic meeting plan. The maximum storage for the Premium 8 meeting plan is 1GB which is just about the maximum storage available to all the remaining meeting plans. The America WebEx costs of the Premium 8 meeting plan is $19 per month annual plan or $24 per host per month. You will therefore save 5 bucks if you commit to the annual plan.
Premium 25 Meeting Plan
Just as you guessed, the Premium 25 meeting plan allows for a maximum of 25 people per meeting. Under this plan, you are guaranteed of up to 9 host licenses. Because things can get a little tense in 25-people meetings, a range of audio channels is allowed in this plan such as VoIP, Phone call-in and Call Me/ Toll free call in. To use the Premium 25 meeting plan which is actually the most popular plan, you will have to part with the America WebEx costs of $49 per host per month or $39 per month annual plan.
Premium 100 Meeting Plan
The Premium 100 meeting plan is the most appropriate for large meetings. It allows for up to 100 people to be engaged in a particular meeting. It has just about all the features of the Premium 25 plan. The America WebEx costs for the Premium 100 meeting plan is $89 per host per month or $69 per month annual plan.
