Conference NOW vs WHYPAY?

Conference NOW creates telephone conference rooms that people join using a call-in number and PIN. Its free plan supports unlimited conferences and call duration for up to 10 callers, with no signup, personal information or credit card required. Organisers can see participants and speakers, mute callers and use moderator controls. Conference details can be shared through iMessage or SMS, email, third-party apps, or copy and paste. Call-in numbers are provided in the United States and Canada, and callers pay their carrier’s applicable charges. Free PINs expire after 30 days without use; making a call extends the expiry by another 30 days. Pro supports up to 100 callers, multiple moderators, and recording, playback and sharing. Recordings are kept on the provider’s network for 30 days. The Pro App Store listing offers a one-time free trial but gives no duration. The app is available for Android and iOS. The service terms say outages may occur and availability is not guaranteed.

WHYPAY? provides telephone conference calling through dial-in numbers, room numbers and PINs, using a web service. UK callers to its 03 numbers can use bundled minutes, or pay the standard landline rate when no minutes are available. Organisers can schedule calls with dates, times, recurrence and participants, then send invitations by email. Standard rooms support 50 participants. Moderators use telephone keypad controls to mute callers, check participant counts, lock rooms or remove guests. Recordings can be downloaded securely for 14 days after a conference ends. Pro adds custom dial-in numbers, uploaded greetings, waiting music and branded email invitations. Larger packages list 75 participants in each of 50 rooms or 100 in each of 100 rooms.
