What is VoIP conference software?

VoIP conference software comes in two basic varieties: free and commercial.
The free VoIP conference software packages tend to be difficult to setup and use; the commercial VoIP conference software packages tend to be slick and easy to install and use.
Of course, the commercial VoIP conference software packages also come with setup fees and recurring costs for conference room access.
Which option you choose depends upon your budget of time and money.
