Which one is for you
Pick ClickMeeting if
- Fits if you teach classes online and want attendees hidden from each other
- Works for running both meetings and webinars in one account
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you run two events at once, which needs the Parallel events add-on
- Too light for events over 1,000 people, which need Enterprise
- Tight if you want automated webinars, as they start on Standard at $79 a month billed yearly
- Watch out: each plan only comes in two room sizes, Essential keeps 2 hours of recordings, and extra presenter seats are an add-on
- Watch out: the whiteboard works for up to 40 people, and Stripe or PayPal take their own fees on tickets
Pick Webinato if
- Fits if you want a recorded webinar replayed on a schedule
- Makes sense if you run month-to-month and want no long contract
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey for small audiences, as 100 people costs $170 a month
- Skip it if you want a free trial, since there is none
- Tight if you need Q&A or surveys, because they are part of the OPTiMA add-on from $49
- Watch out: the listed prices are for new customers, and the site looks unmaintained since 2017

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
