How we grade them
| 2.4GPAAcceleventsFair | 1.8GPALivestormWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DA licence from $7,500 for one event, or $13,500 for unlimited events, with no fee on tickets. It's a different kind of thing, so we set it against its listed alternatives, Eventzilla, Eventbrite, Tito and Luma, which charge per ticket or by the month and cost less unless your event is very big. | FA monthly webinar for up to 100 people can use 1,200 credits a year, more than the 1,000-credit tier at $2,900 a year. That's several times what Zoom Webinars or GoTo Webinar charge for the same job, and unused credits don't roll over. Its pricing page and help centre don't show the same dollar figures, either. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. A Try for Free sign-up lets you set up an event, but its length and limits aren't stated. | CFree forever, but it's built for trying things out: 30 attendee credits a year, 30-minute events and 10 events per organization. That's a small test webinar or two, not a monthly habit. |
| Features | ARegistration, kiosk check-in by QR code or RFID, badge printing, agendas, call for speakers, exhibitor floor plans and lead capture, and an attendee app with networking. It covers the whole job and handles exhibitors, which nothing else here does. | CThe whole webinar job is here: registration pages, reminder emails, a browser room with 25 speakers, polls and Q&A, on-demand and automated events, and replays with captions. The gaps: HubSpot and Salesforce sync are Enterprise only, and restreaming is an add-on sold through sales. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. Setting up a conference with kiosks, badges, agendas and exhibitors is a real project, with plenty to configure before the doors open. | CNo App Store rating on record. Attendees just open a browser, which is the easy half. You still build registration pages and email cadences, and watch your credits, since new attendees can't join once they run out on Pro. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and iPhone, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, ActiveCampaign, Zapier and an MCP server, though the API and webhooks need Enterprise. No Android or desktop app is listed. | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app listed, but it connects to HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, Brevo and Zapier, and has an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. The big CRM links are Enterprise only. |
| Best for | big conferences with exhibitors and badges | browser webinars that charge per attendee |

Worth knowing
Accelevents
- Plans are licenses, not ticket fees: Professional starts at $7,500 for one event and Business at $13,500, with the billing period not stated.
- The API and webhooks come only with Enterprise, and removing Accelevents branding needs the White Label plan.
- Virtual event features are a paid add-on on every plan, and single sign-on costs extra.
- Card payments run through Stripe, Square or Payflow, whose processing fees apply; Accelevents adds no transaction fee.
Livestorm
- Credits are a yearly pack that does not roll over; once they run out on Pro, new attendees cannot join until you move to a higher tier.
- One credit is used per person per session, so someone who joins three sessions of an event uses three credits.
- Native HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot and Microsoft Dynamics integrations are Enterprise only.
- Restreaming, RTMP, live translations and SAML SSO are add-ons sold through sales, and need a Pro plan of at least 1,000 credits.
