Both tools make remote communication easier, but there are some things to

consider before choosing one over the other. Skype is undoubtedly the more
user friendly of the two apps, largely because of its long history as a
consumer app. Simply, more people already know how to use it. However, its
50-participant limit makes it best suited to small businesses and teams. Zoom
is the clear choice for enterprise-size companies thanks to its high-participant
support and deep business features.

Zoom’s free plan is great, but you might be bogged down by the 100
participant and 40 minute limitations. Those who need more can opt for a paid
monthly subscription.

General Information
The biggest challenge when considering Zoom vs. Skype is that they are both very
powerful communication channels. Choosing between the two can be tricky since both
are cost-effective and efficient.

By definition, Zoom is a video conferencing based software that was designed to

promote collaboration via an innovative integrated system featuring web conference,
group messaging and online meetings.

On the other hand, Skype is a software application, which comes with powerful text,
voice and video tools, providing users with a simple way to share experiences with
others, no matter their location.
