The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/webinars ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Flussonic 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 60 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher. - You could not: Live video to hundreds of people at once. - You could not: Video calls. - You could not: A real app for Linux. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure among them. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
