We felt like the UberConference had a very reasonable, scalable price for all possible customers. There is a free version, with some very limited features. Then there is the individual plan and business plan. For the individual plan, you pay $10 per month. With the business plan, your business is charged $10 times the number of users. The individual and business plans have all the same features, making it a scalable solution for small businesses. Overall, we felt like UberConference offered some great features for business:

A low affordable monthly price.
Customizable for the small or the large business.
Call conference integrations with Google.
No cloud storage, but easily integrated with Drop Box, Box, and other cloud storage platforms.

With UberConference, you have access to: (1) unlimited calling, (2) screen sharing, (3) international calling, (4) HD audio, (5) your own number, and (6) powerful conferencing tools. We like that UberConference is customizable for all business needs. You can purchase an individual account and run it off a tablet to have a small business conference call. For the large business plan, you can invite over 100 callers and the platform is extendable to Google Hangouts (though you can't harness the voice chat of Google Voice). UberConference does not contain an internal cloud system, but it does integrate with other clouds. We found that you can easily share and annotate documents with Google Drive, Drop Box, Box, and EverNote. Google Drive works very well with the UberConference integration with Google Hangouts, making it easy to annotate a document on the fly in Google Drive. We also liked the app's integration with social media. If you are hiring someone, it is very easy to see their Linked In Profile and other social media so that you can see what their professional certifications are. The individual plan can handle up to 25 callers, while the professional version can handle up to 100 callers. You can also get your own customizable phone number, which costs an additional $10 per month. While the platform doesn't have HD video, there is HD audio. We found that the HD audio with UberConference was one of the best in the web conferencing industry. There are also powerful leadership controls. You can easily mute the person speaking and eject them from the conference. You can also record the conference easily, archiving it for later. The most powerful feature of UberConference's leadership setup is the ability to lock the conversation, to keep other people from joining. The user interface is also really useful. Many people opt to use the Google Hangouts integration. It is very easy to invite people to a conference, record the conference, and lock your conference for security.

The Bad

Video sharing
Integrated cloud
Annotation and whiteboard

One of the things that we missed was the video sharing. While playing around with UberConference, we found that it was easy to share videos over Drop Box or Google Drive, but this process was slow and clunky. We would also like to see HD video conferencing. While Google Hangouts allows for video conferencing, UberConference does not make video conferencing a possibility We did have some issues with UberConference. While it is a great conference tool, we fond that it lacks some core conferencing tools:

Video sharing abilities.
Lack of an integrated cloud.
Doesn't easily integrate into a business's IT architecture.
Lacks a robust annotation and whiteboard setup.

The lack of an integrated cloud can be a problem for some users. While the Google Drive, Drop Box, and other drop box technologies fit our needs, we wanted a more streamlined solution. Finally, we didn't like the fact that UberConference lacks a robust annotation and whiteboard architecture. Other platforms have basic pens and arrows that enhance the conference experience. With UberConference, it is only possible to use box storage to edit a document.

The Bottom Line

We would recommend UberConference for a business that is only interested in conference calling. The platform can reduce overhead costs for businesses that use expensive conference calling equipment and even can replace VoIP solutions. We liked the high quality of audio, the number of people that can participate in a conference all, the platform's integration with social media, and the integration with Good Drive and other apps. While UberConference doesn't support video, we still think that it is a web conferencing solution worth checking out.

Pretty stupid reviews here. I've had no problem with support, by e-mail, and they do followup to make sure you're happy. Uberconference is convenient and functional. I use it several times a week, with teleconferences involving as many as 50-60 people. Audio quality is good, and I appreciate that I, as organizer, can see whose line is making noise (dogs barking, background talking), and just mute them. The option to do an audio recording works well, and the recording is high bit-rate/quality. The call is archived, so that recording never goes away. Very rarely, we get a bad line, and we just dial in again and everything is fine.
