8x8 offers unlimited calling to certain countries in their pricier plans, while Nextiva typically charges per minute. Nextiva's rates are often cheaper than what 8x8 charges for calls to countries not on their unlimited list.

Nextiva tailors calling solutions. If you have specific international calling needs, we'll craft a plan that gives you the best bang for your buck.

The right choice depends on who you're calling. If you're constantly dialing numbers in countries covered by 8x8's unlimited plans, that might work out cheaper.

But if you're calling a mix of countries or ones not on their list, Nextiva's competitive rates and custom plans could be a better fit. Most global calling destinations are just pennies per minute.

Share your calling patterns with our sales team. We'll crunch the numbers and compare features to help you figure out what works best for your business.

Even if 8x8 looks like a better deal at first glance, Nextiva's ability to customize your business phone plan might just create a solution that meets your international needs without breaking the bank.

Nextiva keeps pricing simple. Our monthly plans are listed on our website, starting at $30 per user. Each tier clearly shows what you're getting.

8x8 doesn't disclose their prices online; you'll need to contact their sales team for a quote. According to Forbes Advisor, their basic plans start at around $24 per user monthly, which looks cheaper at first.

But there's more to consider. 8x8's lower-priced plans often have fewer features. To match what Nextiva offers in our basic plan, you might need to upgrade to a pricier 8x8 option.

8x8's plan structure can be tricky, with extras and optional features. This makes it harder to figure out the real costs and compare them directly with Nextiva. Make sure to get a detailed quote from 8x8 and compare plans with similar features before deciding.
