The Verdict
8x8 is built for international businesses and contact centers, with a focus on unlimited-calling and video-conferencing. Edmodo targets k12 teachers and students and leads with class-groups and assignments.
Edmodo uses custom enterprise pricing, while 8x8 starts at $28/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
