    They all have a free version. They all have clear audio and video. Skype has unlimited amount of time allowed where Zoom and now UberConference limit your calls to 45 minutes and then they just cut out.

    Zoom is the winner of the space in my mind. It has all the features I want, works reliably, and the price is okay. Skype is a dumpster fire, has definite failures, and is a nightmare to admin. Hangouts is only suited to small companies and lacks recording, which is crucial.

    Uberconference is by far more reliable and has a better quality of service than the other providers in this space. I have never had a dropped call with Uberconference (unlike Skype and Hangouts). I do think they need to do more marketing because fewer people know about them …

    UberConference has its place. Skype integrates with Outlook and Microsoft Office 365, but if you don't use those services UberConference is a great stand alone service. WebEx is very costly and is difficult to deal with.

    I like the fact that UberConference does not require any downloads. Our being able to conference with clients and colleagues that may not be tech-savvy or may have their computers locked down by IT makes a huge difference to us. UberConference ease of use and free use tier are …

    This was a very affordable conference call solution. It was incredibly simple to set up and customize with each of our team members. The other software solutions that we evaluated were good, but few were quite as simple and affordable as UberConference. We've tried other …

    UberConference seems to be a more user-friendly program that the alternatives, GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar. The overall user experience on the program is much better than the darker look of the alternative programs.

    UberConference is An excellent tool for communication. This program is simple and easy to use. A quick and easy way to hold meetings. If you need a simple and free conferencing system, you should try this platform.

    UberConference is easy to schedule and set up for both me and other parties to the conference. I like that it has an iPhone app, and that it recognizes my various phone numbers. UberConference is far more reliable from a sound quality perspective than ANY of its competitors. …

    Chose Skype (discontinued)
    When trying to video chat using other apps, and the call is breaking, after switching to Skype, usually the call/video quality is better.
    In comparison to UnerConference, uberconference has web client (no need to install software). Also has conference rooms, where you can log …

    Chose Skype (discontinued)
    Skype provides much more facilities than UberConference. UberConference lacks multi-team collaboration, which is the key feature of Skype. Skype stacks up to UberConference in sharing of docs and other files for high quality representation for business meetings.
