"After your free trial, our base monthly fee is $50"
50 unbelievable dollars per month. That's 600 USD per year, for a lot of users more expensive than the computer they use. How can that "depose" Skype which is free? Am I missing something?
That's not the price for Firefox users. Firefox Hello is free. What you are quoting is the price to develop apps that use OpenTok. Disclaimer: I work for Tokbox
Tokbox provides a SaaS option for managing webRTC sessions. It is separate from Firefox including webRTC support in its browser. There's nothing stopping a company or site from implementing session handling on their own, and bypassing Tokbox. Lots of places do it, and there are other options in the service provider space anyway.
