  1. We’re free for up to 20 people (Adobe lets you meet with only 2 other people for free) And if you want to buy Dimdim, we’re about 1/3 the cost of Adobe’s offerings.

  2. We’re open source. You can take our code and extend it. You can brand it with your own logo. You can access our hosted product via open APIs. Adobe does not of this.

  3. We’re much easier to use. We’re 100% browser based with no plug-in required to attend or host meetings. The only time you need to install anything is if you want to share your desktop. Sharing webcam, VoIP, PPT, etc doesn’t require a thing.
