The short version

  • Only Lark has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Adobe Connect buying guide (archived 2026 capture) names Standard, Premium and Enterprise base plans with no public dollar figures, gating price behind purchase; only one base plan can be bought per customer account; Lark lark's own pricing page description states it offers a free starter pack, a Pro plan, and an Enterprise plan, and directs buyers to Contact us rather than publishing Pro/Enterprise figures on the rendered page.
  • They diverge on capability: Adobe Connect covers HD video, Lark covers Team messaging.
