Webex pricing: From $12/mo. Free plan: yes — 40 minutes. AI (AI Assistant): built-in noise removal, highlights & transcription on paid plans. Rated 4.2/5 on G2 (18,900 reviews). Each figure links to the comparison it was verified in.
Webex fits teams putting Cisco room devices into their offices or needing a wide choice of data-residency regions, and its per-user price starts at $12/mo, billed annually.
Paid plans bundle the AI Assistant (noise removal, highlights and transcription) at no extra charge, the free plan caps meetings at 40 minutes, and we found no standard customer BAA on Webex's own pages. The bigger decision is the rooms, not the seats. A Cisco Board or Room Series kit is a capital purchase you'll keep for years, so it ties you to a platform far longer than any annual per-user contract, and the switching cost lands on facilities as well as IT. Before you buy hardware, pilot in your worst room and from a couple of home connections, because HD video wants up to 3.0 Mbps sending per participant and a weak upload link is a common cause of bad calls. If you handle patient data, get the BAA in writing first.

HelpCompare records pricing and feature data from vendor pricing pages and documentation at the time each comparison is researched, then re-checks it on a published schedule. This entity page is generated from those records — it does not introduce any figure that has not already been verified on a comparison page.
Plain-language guides: the steps, what to check before you buy, common mistakes, and every tool it takes with verified prices.
Verified prices costed for your team size, a check against your must-have requirements, the questions to settle before you sign, and a source for every figure. Print it, or paste it into an email to whoever approves the spend.
Built for the leader who owns the selection, answers for the spend, drives the rollout, and lives with the results. HelpCompare covers the whole decision, not just the first step.
