|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $45 but fits only 50, so 100 attendees means Growth: $80 a month per host billed annually ($117 by the month) for 150. That's about double WebinarJam's Starter and level with Zoom Webinars' entry license. HubSpot and Salesforce need Premium at $196. | 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. There's a 14-day free trial with Growth features, capped at 20 attendees and 1-hour sessions, and the listing doesn't say whether it wants a 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 | CLive, on-demand and automated webinars, event series, chat, polls, handouts, calls to action, transcripts and engagement reports. The gaps: HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo and Pardot, custom domains and Demio AI are Premium only, and it's one event at a time per host. | 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. Presenters join by link without an account, which helps, but you're still setting up rooms, registration forms and calls to action. | 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 only, with no desktop or phone app listed. It connects to HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, OpenReel and Zapier, though the CRM ones wait for Premium. | 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.

Worth knowing
Demio
- Prices are per host: running two events at once needs two hosts, and the Starter plan is limited to one host.
- HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo and Pardot integrations, custom domains and Demio AI are part of Premium, which is sold on yearly billing only.
- Premium plans need 30 days' notice to change; Starter and Growth downgrades take effect at the end of the billing cycle.
- Zapier setup help is a $150 extra, and SSO is available only on select plans through sales.
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.
