Worth knowing
EventMobi
- Pricing is quote-based. The starting prices are $3,000 per event or $8,900 per year, and both scale with attendee count and products.
- Streaming and video storage start at $500 per event, and standard integrations start at $1,000 each.
- Pre-printed badges start at $3.99 each, and a hardware rental package for two iPads and printers typically starts at $1,000 for 7 days.
- It is event management software first: webinar-style streaming sits in the virtual event product and is not sold on its own.
Livestorm

- Restreaming, RTMP, live translations and SAML SSO are add-ons sold through sales, and need a Pro plan of at least 1,000 credits.

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.
