Where each one falls short

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

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

Zuddl

  • Pricing starts at $10,000 per year and covers only two organizer seats
  • A minimum of two organizer licences is required to open an account
  • Extra collaborator seats cost $170 per month billed annually on top of the platform fee
  • Portals, the mobile app, Event Hub, Event Series and AI content repurposing are priced as add-ons rather than included
  • The price also scales with total annual virtual attendee volume, and that attendee pricing is not published
