Frequently
Asked Questions

What makes Allo different from 8x8?

Allo is mobile-first and built around AI from day one. 8x8 was designed for desktop-heavy teams with IT support. If your team works on the go, Allo fits instantly. If you need a full enterprise suite with video meetings and heavy contact center tools, that’s where 8x8 lives.

Is Allo easier to set up than 8x8?

Yes. Allo starts in minutes. No onboarding calls. No hardware needed. 8x8 usually requires setup, provisioning, and back-and-forth with support teams.

How does pricing compare?

Allo starts at a price built for small teams, not enterprises. 8x8 charges per user and scales up fast with add-ons and tier upgrades. If you want simple pricing that doesn’t punish growth, Allo keeps it clean.

Does Allo support video conferencing?

No, Allo does not provide video conferencing. If your business requires advanced video collaboration, RingCentral might be more suitable. However, for businesses focused on streamlined voice and text communication, Allô excels.

Does Allo integrate with CRMs like 8x8?

Yes. Allo syncs with major CRMs and updates contacts automatically using AI. 8x8 integrates too, but often requires higher plans.
