What is Webex?

Webex is Cisco's collaboration app, combining video meetings, team messaging, whiteboards and, on the Suite plan, business phone calling. The free plan allows 40-minute meetings with up to 100 attendees along with unlimited messaging. Paid plans add 24-hour meetings, cloud recording, an AI Assistant and Slido polling, and the Enterprise plan raises meetings to 1,000 attendees.

Webex has a free plan. Paid plans start at $12 per user / month, billed annually ($144 a year). See every plan

Good for

  • Organizations that equip rooms and desks with Cisco devices
  • Teams that want meetings, messaging and phone calling on one license
  • Short free meetings with whiteboards and noise cancellation
  • Public-sector buyers that need FedRAMP authorized security

Worth knowing

  • Free meetings end at 40 minutes, and the free plan records locally only.
  • A business phone number and calling need Webex Suite, and meetings above 200 attendees need Webex Enterprise, which is sold by sales.
  • Call Me and Real-Time Translation are paid add-ons: Call Me starts at $48 and translation is $300 per license a year.
  • Webex runs in a browser, but the vendor says some features, such as PSTN calls, need the downloaded app.
