Current 8x8 pricing is quote based

Checked September 18, 2026: 8x8’s current pricing page directs buyers to a custom quote. The dollar figures below come from the site’s June reference, not a current public 8x8 offer.

The June pricing reference, with its limits

Seat bandX2 reference / user / monthX4 reference / user / month
1 to 5$28$57
25 to 50$22$48
51 to 100$20$44
251 to 500$18$40
More than 500$17 reference; request a current quote$38 reference; request a current quote

These are the dated annual list figures in our 8x8 reference calculator, last verified June 7, 2026. The old $24 X2 and $44 X4 summary mixed different seat bands. Today 8x8’s current pricing page directs buyers to request a quote and does not publish these dollar amounts.

Worked budget: price the users who need the upgrade

Using only the June reference at the 25 to 50 seat band: 50 X2 seats × $22 = $1,100 per month ($13,200 over 12 months). Fifty X4 seats × $48 = $2,400 per month ($28,800 over 12 months).

If a vendor approves the same seat-band prices and mixed licensing, 42 X2 seats plus eight X4 seats would be (42 × $22) + (8 × $48) = $1,308 per month. That is $1,092 below the all-X4 reference. This scenario illustrates why user roles matter; it is not a current offer or evidence of a completed customer deal.

Example assumptions: US dollars, annual commitment, base subscriptions only. Taxes, regulatory charges, hardware, implementation, porting work, usage and optional services are excluded unless the written proposal includes them. Annual totals are monthly amounts multiplied by 12, not a statement about invoice timing.

Start with destinations and user roles

For X-Series proposals, 8x8’s calling-country list distinguishes X2 calling to 14 countries from X4 calling to 48, subject to the applicable conditions. This describes outbound calling destinations, not the number of countries where you can obtain local numbers.

  • List the countries and number types actually called, then compare them with the included destinations and exclusions in the proposal.
  • Separate ordinary callers from supervisors and contact-center agents. Ask which licenses each group needs.
  • Price X2 and X4 for the same total headcount, contract length and deployment scope. Ask whether mixed plans retain the quoted volume band.
  • Request separate contact-center licensing and implementation costs. Do not assume an X2 or X4 phone seat includes a full contact center.
  • Test local-number availability, call routing, recording retention and CRM behavior for every required location.

Historical calculator: June 7, 2026 reference

The June 7, 2026 reference used in our calculators is a different pricing basis. It is retained for explaining seat-band arithmetic, not presented as a current vendor offer. Do not apply its discount percentages to a new promotion or assume a partner quote will beat the vendor’s advertised price.

The labels and figures inside this calculator apply only to that dated reference. Taxes and phone options are modeling assumptions, not verified current vendor charges. Request an itemized quote to determine what is available now.

What to get in writing before choosing

  • One inventory of users, shared phones, locations and numbers to port, used by every bidder.
  • The exact plan for each user group and a line item for every required integration, recording feature and support service.
  • A demonstration of your actual call flow, including busy queues, after-hours calls and transfers to a mobile user.
  • A complete first invoice, implementation scope, renewal terms, cancellation notice and the rules for adding or removing seats.
  • A porting owner, confirmed cutover plan and rollback contacts. Keep the old service active until transfers and testing are complete.

Frequently asked questions

What does 8x8 cost?

Current pricing requires a quote. Our June 7, 2026 annual reference starts at $28 for X2 and $57 for X4 at 1 to 5 seats, with lower figures at larger bands. These historical figures are not current public offers.

Does X2 include international calling?

The X-Series calling-country documentation lists 14 countries for X2 and 48 for X4. Confirm the destination and number type, fair-use terms and exclusions in your current proposal.

Does a phone license include the full contact center?

Do not assume so. Ask for the exact phone, supervisor and contact-center licenses and their separate costs in the written proposal.
