The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/webinars ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Switchboard Live you would be making one live stream sent to several platforms 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: 35 of the 60 other webinar and live streaming tools grade higher. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: One live stream sent to several platforms at once. - You could not: Live video to hundreds of people at once.
