8x8 is a powerful enterprise platform, priced and rolled out like one: tiers, quotes and annual contracts. Allo gives you the calling power with none of the complexity or the sales gauntlet.
Feature by feature
8x8 packs its AI into higher tiers. With Allo it is all included, at a flat price.
8x8
Enterprise UCaaS
8x8's entry price doesn't include the AI
To match Allo you climb the tiers and add the AI, on an annual contract:
- Entry plan voice only, no AI
- AI transcription and analytics higher tiers
- Contact-center AI features quote-based tiers
- Annual contract plus a longer rollout
Add the tier and the AI you actually came for, and 8x8 ends up costing more than Allo's flat $32, which already includes it all.
