Livestorm
Browser-based webinars, live or on demand, priced per attendee
Livestorm report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for browser webinars that charge per attendee
Livestorm runs webinars in the browser, live, on demand or automated, and nobody needs to download anything to join. The catch is how you pay: a yearly pack of attendee credits. A webinar every month for up to 100 people can use 1,200 credits a year, which is past the 1,000-credit tier at $2,900.
Who Livestorm is for
- Great if your audience should join from a browser with nothing to install
- Handy when you run a few small webinars a year and only want to pay for who turns up
- Good for teams that add lots of colleagues, since team members are unlimited and free
Who Livestorm is not for
- Pricey if you run a webinar every month for up to 100 people, at $2,900 a year for 1,000 credits
- Skip it if you need HubSpot or Salesforce sync without an Enterprise contract
- Tight if your audience comes back for several sessions, since each session uses another credit
Why Livestorm gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- FValue for moneyA 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.
- CFree plan and trialFree forever, but it's built for trying things out: 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.
- CFeaturesThe 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.
- CEase of useNo 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.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb 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.

Keep Livestorm, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Livestorm 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: 11 of the 14 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher. It costs $1,200 a year.
What you could not
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- One live stream sent to several platforms at once.
- It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Salesforce and Marketo among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Livestorm’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Livestorm?
Livestorm is a webinar platform that runs in the browser, for live, on-demand and automated webinars aimed mostly at marketing, sales and training teams. It covers registration pages, reminder emails, the event room with chat, polls and Q&A, and replays. Paid plans are bought as a yearly pack of attendee credits: one credit is used each time a person joins a session, live or later, while no-shows and team members cost nothing.
Livestorm has a free plan. Paid plans start at $1,200 per year for up to 400 attendee credits. See every plan
Good for
- Marketing teams running regular lead-generation webinars
- Customer and employee training sessions repeated on a schedule
- Teams whose audience should join from a browser with no download
- Companies that want to pay for attendees rather than registrations
Worth knowing
- Credits are a yearly pack that does not roll over; once they run out on Pro, new attendees cannot join until you move to a higher tier.
- One credit is used per person per session, so someone who joins three sessions of an event uses three credits.
- Native HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot and Microsoft Dynamics integrations are Enterprise only.
- Restreaming, RTMP, live translations and SAML SSO are add-ons sold through sales, and need a Pro plan of at least 1,000 credits.
Key features
- Browser event room
- Attendees join from a browser with nothing to install. Up to 25 speakers can be on screen, with chat, polls, Q&A with upvotes, emoji reactions and file, slide and video sharing.
- Registration pages and email cadences
- Brandable registration pages with custom fields, an embeddable sign-up widget, a company page of upcoming and past events, and unlimited reminder and follow-up emails.
- On-demand and automated events
- Events can be set to start, end or play a video on their own, offered on demand for people to watch at any time, or split into several sessions under one link.
- Replays and captions
- Replays are available right after the session with closed captions, and live captions are in beta. AI repurposing turns the transcript into content for other channels.
- Restreaming and RTMP add-ons
- Paid add-ons stream a Livestorm event to LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Facebook, Twitch and other destinations at once, or bring in a feed from studio software over RTMP.
- Attendance data and exports
- Tracks UTM sources, attendance and conversion rates, and exports registrants, chat and questions. A Livestorm MCP server connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents.
