How we grade them
| 2.2GPAWebinarJamFair | 2.2GPAZoom WebinarsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CThe entry license is $83.33 a month billed annually ($1,000 a year, or $129 by the month), and it's for 500 attendees, so a 100-person webinar still pays for 500. That's dearer than GoTo Webinar's entry plan and about double WebinarJam's Starter, though not out of line for this category. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. Paid plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee. | FNothing free. There's no free plan or free trial on the webinar page, and the free Zoom Workplace plan covers meetings only. |
| Features | CSign-up pages with split tests, email and SMS reminders, timed offers, polls, a whiteboard, video injections and broadcasts to Facebook and YouTube. The gaps: sessions top out at 4 hours even on Enterprise, and Starter has no EverWebinar for automated webinars. | CA deep live product: branded registration, polls, Q&A, breakout rooms, AI captions in more than 20 languages, streaming to YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook, and audiences up to 100,000. The gap: simulive sessions and the backstage need Webinars Plus at $290.83. |
| Ease of use | 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. | BNo rating of its own on record. It's a license added to a Zoom account, so hosts work in an app many already run and attendees join the way they join any Zoom call. Registration and polls are set up inside Zoom. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app listed, but it connects to Kartra, ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Keap, GetResponse, Mailchimp, Twilio and Zapier. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android, plus Salesforce, streaming to YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook, and separate tracks for Premiere, Final Cut and DaVinci. On iOS you join as an attendee or panelist only. |
| Best for | live sales webinars on a budget | big webinars for teams already on Zoom |
