How we grade them
| 1.8GPALivestormWeak | 2.4GPAProProfs WebinarNinjaFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | C$0.30 per attendee a month on annual billing, about $30 for 100 people, in the middle of what webinar tools cost and rising with the crowd. |
| Free plan and trial | CThere's a free plan with no time limit, meant for trying it: 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. | CA 14-day trial is offered and there is no free plan; the page read does not say whether a card is needed. |
| Features | 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. | BLive and automated webinars, registration pages, chat, polls, paid webinars through Stripe, and an API. Nothing in the listing is missing from the core job. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CWeb only, with no rating on record, and registration pages and emails to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb only, with Stripe, Zapier, Facebook Ads and an API. |

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.
