# Crowdcast

> Browser webinars and live events for creators and communities

Crowdcast is a browser-based platform for live webinars, interviews, courses and online summits, aimed at creators, communities and small businesses. Each event gets one page that handles registration, the live session with chat and Q&A, and the replay afterwards. Hosts can sell tickets through Stripe, run multi-session events, and from the Pro plan up multistream the stage to Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and other sites. Plans are priced by live attendees and streaming hours.

- **Paid events:** Charge a fixed or sliding ticket price with coupons, or take contributions during an event, with payments through Stripe.
- **Multi-session events:** Group sessions at different times into one event for live courses or online summits, with no limit on the number of sessions.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Crowdcast gives each live event one page for sign-up, the session and the replay, which is about as simple as webinars get. It's for creators and communities: interviews, classes and online summits, with tickets sold through Stripe. Lite is $49 a month for 100 live attendees, but it counts streaming hours, and multistreaming starts on Pro.

- **Value for money: C.** Lite 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No 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.
- **Features: C.** Registration, the live room, chat, Q&A, replays, tickets, multi-session events and RTMP input. The gaps: no automated webinars on record, multistreaming and captions start on Pro, and sessions stop at 2 hours on Lite.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app listed. It connects to Stripe and Zapier, streams to Facebook, YouTube and Twitch, and takes feeds from OBS, Wirecast or Ecamm.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Crowdcast you would be making live video to hundreds of people at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $588 a year.

- You could not: Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- You could not: One live stream sent to several platforms at once.
- You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, Zapier and Facebook among them.
- You could not: People on the other end: live sessions. No app builder makes those.
