LoopUp Remote Meetings

LoopUp Remote Meetings combines phone audio and web conferencing for business meetings. Guests can open an invitation link and receive a call on a phone they choose, without downloading software. Hosts can share screens, see attendees and speakers, add late arrivals, mute background noise, and manage video and screen sharing. Meetings support video and recording, and recordings can be downloaded after a call. The service includes an Outlook add-in, attendee LinkedIn profile integration, and SAML-based single sign-on integrations such as Okta, OneLogin, Ping Identity, AD FS, and Centrify. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The free plan is limited to 10 participants and domestic phone dial-out, with no dial-in numbers or international phones. Business costs $15/user/mo and allows up to 20 participants. Enterprise supports up to 150 participants, offers centralized administration and billing, and is priced according to usage or licence details.

LoopUp pairs phone dial-out with web meeting controls, recording, and video. Check the free plan’s domestic dial-out limits and the participant cap against your needs.

It suits businesses that want meetings with phone audio and web conferencing, including guests who prefer joining from a phone. Enterprise is aimed at large organizations needing centralized user management and invoicing.

LoopUp Remote Meetings combines telephone audio with browser-based conferencing for business meetings. It suits teams that need guests to join by phone without installing software while hosts manage screens, video, recordings, and participants. The free tier fits small domestic calls; organizations needing international access or centralized administration should consider paid plans.

Overview

LoopUp has operated since 2003 and is headquartered in London. Its core approach is practical: send an invitation link, then let LoopUp call each guest on a chosen phone. Browser guests can participate without downloading an application, which removes friction for clients, partners, and occasional attendees. The trade-off is that phone availability depends heavily on the plan and location.

Key features

Hosts can share a screen with one click and control who is speaking, admit late joiners, mute background noise, and manage participant video and screen sharing. These controls are valuable when a meeting has an active moderator or a larger group; they are more capability than a simple audio bridge requires.

Video and call recording extend the service beyond phone conferencing, and recordings can be downloaded after the call. An Outlook add-in supports scheduling workflows, while LinkedIn profile integration can identify meeting attendees. SAML-based single sign-on integrations include Okta, OneLogin, Ping Identity, AD FS, and Centrify, giving organizations established identity systems a direct access path.

LoopUp supports scheduled calls, moderator controls, toll-free access, and meetings of up to 150 guests. Calls beyond that size are directed to LoopUp's Event Calls offering, so very large events require a separate service. Enterprise administration adds centralized billing and usage data, reporting, custom branding, and account management.

Pricing

LoopUp uses a freemium model, with paid service from $15/user/mo. The Free Plan costs nothing and permits up to 10 participants in the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, and Netherlands. Participants can join only through domestic phone dial-out: there are no dial-in numbers, and international phones are unsupported. That makes the free tier suitable for small, locally based meetings where LoopUp can place every call, but restrictive for distributed teams.

The Business Plan costs $15 a month and supports up to 20 participants. It adds domestic dial-in and international Pay As You Go access while retaining availability in the same eight countries. Choose it when guests need to call in themselves or occasional international participation matters; usage-based international calling can make costs less predictable than the subscription alone suggests.

The Enterprise Plan uses custom pricing, billed either Pay As You Go or on a licence-based model. It supports up to 150 participants, international dial-in and dial-out to more than 170 countries, and pricing based on usage or licence count, expected usage, and contract length. It is aimed at large organizations that need centralized provisioning, management, and invoicing. Free and Business include 24/7 email or phone support, while Enterprise provides 24/7 follow-the-sun customer support.

Platforms

LoopUp provides Android and iOS mobile apps plus web access. Browser joining is particularly useful for guests who should not install software, while mobile apps cover regular participants on phones and tablets.

Who it's for

LoopUp is a strong fit for businesses combining phone participation with controlled web meetings, especially teams hosting clients or partners who may not install an app. The Enterprise tier suits organizations that need SSO, reporting, centralized billing, branding, and international reach. It is less suitable for casual international groups that need generous free dial-in or for events exceeding 150 guests.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Guests can join from an invite link, and LoopUp can call a selected phone, reducing setup for external attendees.
• Pro: Screen sharing, video, downloadable recordings, speaker visibility, and moderator controls cover structured business meetings.
• Pro: SAML SSO and Enterprise administration support managed corporate deployments.
• Con: The Free Plan allows only domestic dial-out, with no dial-in or international phones.
• Con: Free meetings stop at 10 participants, Business at 20, and larger capacity requires Enterprise pricing.
• Con: International Business participation is Pay As You Go, so the monthly fee does not represent the full potential cost.

Verdict

Choose LoopUp Remote Meetings if your business needs phone-based guest access alongside moderated web meetings, recording, and corporate administration. Its main advantage is the blend of dial-out convenience and meeting controls; look elsewhere if free international dial-in, very large events, or fully predictable calling costs are your priority.
