Where each one falls short

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

BigMarker

  • No prices are published on any tier; all three require a quote
  • Host licences are capped by tier, at 1 on Basic, 4 on Enterprise and 6 on Enterprise+
  • Attendee ceilings gate the tiers, at 1,000 on Basic against 10,000 on Enterprise
  • SSO, multi-factor authentication, white-labelled domains and live captioning are Enterprise+ only
  • API access and breakout rooms require Enterprise

BlueJeans

  • Shut down. Verizon announced the closure on 8 August 2023 and wound the service down through the first half of 2024, starting with the Basic tier and free trials on 31 August 2023
  • bluejeans.com no longer resolves
  • Verizon bought it for $400 million in 2020 and closed it citing a changing market, so there is no successor product to move to within the same vendor
