LoopUp Remote Meetings vs Select Conferencing Reservationless Toll-Free Audio

LoopUp Remote Meetings combines phone audio with web conferencing for business meetings. Guests can open an invitation link and have LoopUp call a phone they choose, without downloading software. Hosts can share a screen, see attendees and who is speaking, add late joiners, mute background noise, and control screen sharing and video. Meetings can include video and be recorded, with recordings available to download after a call.

The service includes an Outlook add-in, LinkedIn attendee profile integration, and SAML-based single sign-on integrations including Okta, OneLogin, Ping Identity, AD FS, and Centrify. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The Free Plan supports up to 10 participants but offers domestic phone dial-out only, with no dial-in numbers or international phones. The Business Plan costs $15 a month and supports up to 20 participants. Enterprise supports up to 150 participants; pricing depends on usage or licence details. Free and Business include 24/7 email or phone support, while Enterprise lists 24/7 follow-the-sun support.
