The Verdict
GoTo Meeting is built for businesses and consultants, with a focus on video-meetings and screen-sharing. Cisco Webex targets enterprise and government and leads with video-meetings and messaging.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($14/mo for GoTo Meeting, $14.5/mo for Cisco Webex), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Cisco Webex has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. GoTo Meeting requires a paid subscription from day one.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
