To compare, check out Zoom’s pricing options: Whichever tier best fits your organization, Teams offers very competitive alternatives to Zoom. (Note that the Business Basic subscription will go up to $6 per user/month starting March 1.) The comparison below shows the details of what each plan offers. Once you go to the Business Basic and Business Standard accounts, that’s where you get integration with Microsoft 365 and the web, mobile, and/or desktop versions of the Office apps in that suite. For some that aren’t interested in the Microsoft 365 suite, the desire for the simplicity of a product geared just at videoconferencing may have previously kept them away from Teams.
It’s good to note that Microsoft Teams Essentials is a standalone product. (Plus, that price difference will change to $2 in March 2022-for those who were dismayed by or unable to afford the licensing price increases Microsoft recently announced, Teams Essentials could provide the videoconferencing and cloud storage capabilities at that lower price point.) At the moment it’s only a dollar less per user/month than the Business Basic version, but for some small organizations who really just need these essentials, this might be appealing. It also comes with 10 GB of cloud storage per user as well as phone and web support. What Teams Essentials adds to the free version is a very generous meeting time of up to 30 hours and the ability to host 300 participants per meeting, up from 100. Teams Essentials fills in the spot between Microsoft’s free videoconferencing option and its most popular Business Basic account, which is its most widely used one. But that could change- announced this month, Microsoft Teams Essentials offers a new tier of its videoconference offerings at a much better price than Zoom’s. It’s still a leading video conferencing platform around the world. Unfortunately there were a number of Zoom hacks and security issues that the platform came with, but its ease of use and instant familiarity helped it stick. For many people, Zoom is what they’re most familiar with-it quickly rose to household fame when everyone scrambled to adopt remote practices at the beginning of the pandemic. From work to school and every kind of virtual meeting in between, we’ve done a lot of them in the past couple years.
Video calls are now a commonplace part of our lives.
