Your 8x8 alternative, prices in plain sight.
The 8x8 alternative with public per-seat pricing on every tier and self-serve sign-up — no quote round-trip, no demo gate, AI shipped from $9.99, and a campaign engine that doesn't require an X8 contract.

- X8Contact sales
Tied on phone and CC. Ahead on AI, CRM, and clarity.
8x8's X-Series is mature on global voice and contact center. Acepeak matches both, then pulls ahead on AI depth, CRM breadth, and the buyer experience itself.
Public on every tier.
8x8 moved their pricing page to a contact-sales gate in 2024. We don't — every plan, every feature included, every overage is on the website.
The complete side-by-side.
Where 8x8 holds back.
Public pricing on every tier
8x8 moved every X-Series plan to "Contact sales" in 2024. Acepeak publishes Starter, Professional, and Enterprise prices on the marketing site — buyers see exactly what they pay before any sales call.
AI on the entry plan
8x8 limits AI features to X6 and X8 quote-based tiers. Acepeak ships an AI receptionist, AI chatbot, transcription, sentiment, and AI Writer on the $9.99 Starter — voice cloning unlocked at Enterprise.
Campaign engine in UCaaS
Predictive, Progressive, Preview, and Agentless dialers plus a full Campaign Builder ship in the Acepeak Enterprise plan — at UCaaS pricing. 8x8 requires X8 (CC bundle) for the equivalent.
When to choose which.
- You want to know your bill before you talk to sales
- AI is core to your roadmap — receptionist, transcription, sentiment, AI Writer
- You need a campaign engine and predictive dialer at UCaaS pricing, not CC pricing
- You run multiple brands or business units from one team
- Your team needs 8+ channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, LinkedIn) in one inbox
- Self-serve sign-up matters — no mandatory discovery call
- You operate in 30+ countries and need 8x8's historic global PSTN footprint
- You're already deeply embedded in 8x8's X-Series with custom CC routing
- Regulatory mandates (FedRAMP-related, specific HIPAA BAA structures) require 8x8's specific certifications
- You only need basic phone + meetings and don't plan to expand into AI or campaigns
Most prospects in this list still pilot Acepeak alongside — once the quote arrives, the per-seat saving usually wins the bake-off.
Switching from 8x8 takes 10 days. Calls never drop.
Free port. Dual-routing during cutover. We map your existing X-Series CRM fields and IVR trees so reporting continuity is unbroken from day one.
Common questions, answered.
8x8 hides every tier behind "Contact sales", which slows decisions. Acepeak publishes per-seat pricing, ships AI on every plan, and lets you self-serve start — no demo gate, no quote round-trip.
