Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

8x8 Contact Center

  • Listed on G-Cloud 14 directly by 8x8 UK Limited (not a reseller) at £0.68 to £113.40 per user per month for 8x8 Contact Centre

UJET

  • The published tier prices exclude nearly every channel, so chat, email, SMS and social cost 10 USD per seat each on top and conversational AI is quoted separately, meaning a realistic omnichannel seat lands well above the advertised 99 USD.
  • Workforce management is a 30 USD per seat add-on rather than a platform capability, so a contact centre buying UJET for its full stack pays roughly a third again on top of the Pro rate before any AI.
  • UJET supplies the technology behind Google Cloud Contact Center AI Platform while Google simultaneously expands its own Customer Engagement Suite, a partner-competitor overlap that analysts have publicly warned could cannibalise UJET, and it introduces roadmap risk into a multi-year contract.
  • The smartphone-native premise only pays off if your customers actually contact you from a mobile app you control; organisations whose volume arrives by inbound telephone number from landlines and desktop web get little benefit from the differentiating features.
  • UJET is materially smaller than NICE, Genesys and Five9, so the partner and consultancy ecosystem for complex integrations, custom reporting and specialist routing design is thinner, and niche requirements more often become professional services line items.
  • UJET sold its own professional services business unit to Onix in July 2025, so implementation and services delivery on a new contract may run through a third party rather than the vendor itself, which changes who is accountable when a deployment slips.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

UJET: Is UJET the same product as Google Cloud Contact Center AI Platform?

Effectively yes at the platform layer. Google resells UJET technology under its own brand, which is why Dialogflow integration is native rather than bolted on.

UJET: What does a realistic omnichannel seat cost?

Add the channel add-ons to the tier price. Pro at 99 USD plus chat, email, SMS and social at 10 USD each is 139 USD per seat per month before any AI or workforce management.

UJET: Does UJET include workforce management?

No. It is a separate add-on at 30 USD per user per month, so many buyers pair UJET with a dedicated WFM tool instead.

UJET: How large a contact centre does it suit?

It is realistic from roughly 50 seats upward, and most commonly deployed in the 100 to 600 seat range rather than at several-thousand-seat scale.
