How we grade them
| 2.6GPAClickMeetingGood | 1.8GPALivestormWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CLive is $37 a month billed annually for a 50-person room, and automated webinars need the $48 plan. A 100-person room costs more and the listing has no figure for it, so we can't price our test case. With no number, it sits at C beside GoTo Webinar and WebinarGeek. | 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, but a 14-day free trial for 25 attendees, with free and paid webinars and meetings included and no credit card. | 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 | BThe whole webinar job and more: live and automated webinars, meetings, paid events, polls, a whiteboard, breakout rooms, edu mode, captions, certificates, phone dial-in and broadcasts to YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn. | 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. Attendees need no install, but there's a lot to set up: rooms, registration, automation timelines and payments. | 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 | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, plus Stripe, PayPal, Zapier and broadcasts to YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn. Attendees can also dial in by phone. | 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 | training, classes and paid webinars | browser webinars that charge per attendee |

Worth knowing
ClickMeeting
- Each plan's price depends on the room size, from 50 to 1,000 attendees; larger events need Enterprise.
- Hosting two events at the same time needs the Parallel events add-on, and extra presenter seats are another add-on.
- The collaborative whiteboard works in events of up to 40 people.
- Ticket and donation payments run through Stripe or PayPal, which charge their own fees.
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.
