|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CLite is $49 a month billed monthly for 100 live attendees and 10 hours, right at the category's middle. Annual billing is labelled 30% off, but the listing gives no yearly figure. Against its rivals it sits between WebinarJam's Starter and Demio's Growth. | BStarter is $39 a month billed annually ($49 by the month) for up to 100 attendees. That's the cheapest 100-seat room among the webinar tools it's up against, about half what Demio and Zoom Webinars charge. Sessions are capped at 1 hour, though. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial with all features, limited to 10 live attendees and 60-minute sessions. The listing doesn't say whether it wants a card. | DNo free plan. The 14-day trial costs $1, so it needs a card, though it's generous: 500 attendees, 2 hosts and 2-hour webinars.

The gaps: sessions top out at 4 hours even on Enterprise, and Starter has no EverWebinar for automated webinars. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. One page per event keeps it simple, but you still set up tickets and sessions and keep an eye on streaming hours. | CNo App Store rating on record. There's a page builder with templates, but you'll be building sign-up pages, reminder sequences and offers before the first webinar. |
