The question asked, verbatim: best webinar platforms for agencies
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- WebinarJam compared
Searched - and one thing worth flagging up front: nearly every top-ranking "best webinar platform for agencies" list is written by a webinar vendor ranking itself #1 (WebinarJam's blog, ON24's blog, WebinarKit's, Livestorm's comparison hub).
- ON24 compared

Demio - the best pure marketing-webinar tool.

- Zoom Webinars / Zoom Sessions mentioned
Zoom Webinars / Zoom Sessions - the boring, safe pick.
- BigMarker mentioned
BigMarker - the one I'd name first for client work.
- Goldcast compared
Goldcast - newer B2B alternative to ON24, notably better at chopping recordings into clips/content for repurposing.
- WebinarJam / EverWebinar mentioned
WebinarJam / EverWebinar - the info-product and coaching-funnel world.
- EverWebinar mentioned
WebinarJam / EverWebinar - the info-product and coaching-funnel world.
- StreamYard mentioned
StreamYard or Riverside - if what you're really doing is a branded live show simulcast to LinkedIn/YouTube rather than a gated webinar.
- Riverside mentioned
StreamYard or Riverside - if what you're really doing is a branded live show simulcast to LinkedIn/YouTube rather than a gated webinar.
- HeySummit mentioned
HeySummit - specifically for multi-speaker virtual summits, which the general-purpose tools handle badly.
- GoHighLevel mentioned
One I'd push back on: GoHighLevel tops several of these agency lists, but that's mostly because GHL has an enormous affiliate program and its webinar module is a thin add-on to a CRM.

The answer, as recorded
Searched - and one thing worth flagging up front: nearly every top-ranking "best webinar platform for agencies" list is written by a webinar vendor ranking itself #1 (WebinarJam's blog, ON24's blog, WebinarKit's, Livestorm's comparison hub). Treat those rankings as ads. Here's what I'd actually tell you. **If the agency is running webinars for itself (lead gen):** 1. **Livestorm** - my default recommendation. Browser-based so no attendee downloads, decent built-in registration pages and analytics, and the pricing model is per unique *attendee credit* (~€2.50) rather than per seat - so you pay for people who actually showed up, not for no-shows or for host licenses sitting idle. That's the right shape for lumpy agency usage. 2. **Demio** - the best pure marketing-webinar tool. Cleanest branded registration → live → automated-replay flow, strong HubSpot/Marketo/ActiveCampaign integrations. Pick this over Livestorm if the webinar *is* the funnel and you want evergreen replays running unattended. ~$59-63/mo entry, attendee-tiered. 3. **Zoom Webinars / Zoom Sessions** - the boring, safe pick. Cheapest at scale, most reliable, and your audience already has it installed and trusts it. The tradeoff is a weak marketing layer (registration, nurture, attribution), so you end up bolting your own CRM/email onto it. **If you're producing webinars *for clients*, the priorities change to white-labeling and multi-account:** 4. **BigMarker** - the one I'd name first for client work. Deeply customizable branded environments, event hubs/channels, handles larger and more produced virtual events. Agencies that deliver events under a client's brand tend to end up here. 5. **ON24** - only when the client is enterprise B2B with a real marketing-automation stack. You're buying engagement scoring and pipeline attribution, not video. Expensive, annual contracts, heavy to operate. 6. **Goldcast** - newer B2B alternative to ON24, notably better at chopping recordings into clips/content for repurposing. Worth a look if content reuse is part of your deliverable. **Niche but worth knowing:** 7. **WebinarJam / EverWebinar** - the info-product and coaching-funnel world. Cheap (~$39-49/mo) and effective for evergreen sales webinars, but production polish and reliability are a step below the above. Don't put an enterprise client on it. 8. **StreamYard or Riverside** - if what you're really doing is a branded live show simulcast to LinkedIn/YouTube rather than a gated webinar. Much better ergonomics for that, no registration funnel. 9. **HeySummit** - specifically for multi-speaker virtual summits, which the general-purpose tools handle badly. One I'd push back on: **GoHighLevel** tops several of these agency lists, but that's mostly because GHL has an enormous affiliate program and its webinar module is a thin add-on to a CRM. Fine if you're already all-in on GHL; not a reason to choose it for webinars. Rough decision rule: under ~200 attendees and marketing-led → Demio or Livestorm. Client-branded delivery → BigMarker. Enterprise B2B attribution → ON24. Big audience, minimal fuss → Zoom.
