FreeConference - the alternative when the big box video conference boys fail.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

FreeConference provides us with a video conferencing alternative to the big name brands such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. When the big-name brands are not working for our needs, we will give FreeConference a try to see if it solves our issue. Much of the time, when we are having these difficulties, FreeConference ends up working for us.

Pros

  • Freemium model
  • Easy to access website
  • Helpful scheduling

Cons

  • An easy-to-use app would be nice
  • More awareness of the brand; not a lot of people are familiar with it

Return on Investment

  • FreeConference allows us to hold a video conference when all other software fails.
  • We don't miss out on opportunities for partnership and collaboration with our community partners.

FreeConferenceCall ROCKS

Pros

  • I love the ability to make long distance calls without charge.
  • I was delighted when they added the ability to screen share and show my slides to my customers.
  • I also love that FreeConference.com immediately provides replays of your meetings - in case somebody wasn't able to attend live.

Cons

  • Early on (many years ago), I occasionally had some trouble getting everyone onto the same call. But that's only happened a couple of times many moons ago.

Return on Investment

  • BEST ROI ever! It's all free and has let me access people globally. Thanks!

Free is FREE at Freeconferences.com

Pros

  • You can subscribe in a couple clicks and that gives you access, for free, to unlimited conference calls within the US and a selection of other countries (premium accounts give access to all countries - but the free service is already quite amazing).
  • The quality of the calls is a sure benefit. One might expect for it to be poor as I did specifically because of the cost.
  • You can use your numbers without setting up a new conference call every time.
  • You can also schedule a conference and get reminded.

Cons

  • Not being able to use 800 number (toll free).
  • The website interface could be spruced up a bit.

Return on Investment

  • There is ABSOLUTELY no negative ROI because its free and you can't substitute a cost for time because it took no time lol. Great service all the way around.
  • I am currently waiting for the contract to expire for our current payed provider so that we might permanently (company wide) switch to freeconferences.com.
