The question asked, verbatim: best webinar platforms for agencies

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Livestorm mentioned
   Livestorm - My default for an agency running webinars for multiple clients.
2. HubSpot mentioned
   Fully browser-based (no attendee download, which kills the biggest drop-off point), strong custom branding, good registration pages, and solid HubSpot/Salesforce/Marketo integrations so client leads land where the client wants them.

4. Demio mentioned
   Demio - The one I'd pick if most of your work is marketing/sales funnels rather than big corporate events.
5. Zoom mentioned
   Zoom Webinars / Zoom Events - Not the best product, but the one enterprise clients' IT and legal departments have already approved, and the one their audience knows how to join.

The answer, as recorded

## My shortlist, in the order I'd actually recommend **1. Livestorm** - My default for an agency running webinars for multiple clients. Fully browser-based (no attendee download, which kills the biggest drop-off point), strong custom branding, good registration pages, and solid HubSpot/Salesforce/Marketo integrations so client leads land where the client wants them. Watch the pricing model: it bills on *active contacts* (~$99/mo for <100, $198 for <200, $495 for <500), which punishes big one-off launches. Free tier (30 contacts, 20-min sessions) is genuinely usable for pitching the service. [pricing comparison](https://www.getcontrast.io/learn/livestorm-vs-demio) **2. Demio** - The one I'd pick if most of your work is marketing/sales funnels rather than big corporate events. Cleanest attendee experience, best-in-class live→automated workflow (record once, run it evergreen), and fast setup. Starter is $45/mo annually for 50 attendees; Growth adds multiple hosts, custom branding and on-demand webinars at 150-3,000 attendees; Premium (~$196/mo per host) adds 1080p, captions, and a CSM. The per-host pricing is the agency pain point. [Demio pricing](https://g2.com/products/demio/pricing) **3. Zoom Webinars / Zoom Events** - Not the best product, but the one enterprise clients' IT and legal departments have already approved, and the one their audience knows how to join. Starts around $79/mo on top of a Pro plan. Pick it when the client's procurement process matters more than the experience, or when you need thousands of attendees reliably. **4. WebinarJam + EverWebinar** - The direct-response pair. Cheapest capacity by a wide margin ($39/mo for <100, $79 for <500, $229 for <2,000), built-in offer/cart overlays, and EverWebinar handles the just-in-time evergreen replays. Rougher UI and more support complaints than the above - I'd use it for performance/info-product clients, not for a brand-sensitive B2B client. [WebinarJam pricing](https://g2.com/products/webinarjam/pricing) **5. eWebinar** - Specifically for recurring, no-presenter content: product demos, client onboarding, training. If an agency client wants "demo available every 15 minutes forever," this is purpose-built and much cheaper than staffing it. **6. ON24 or Goldcast** - Enterprise B2B demand gen only. Engagement scoring, content hubs, deep MAP integration, and the analytics a client's demand-gen team will ask for. Expect annual contracts in the five figures; only worth it when the client is funding it directly. **7. StreamYard or Restream** - Not webinar software, but if the goal is reach rather than gated leads, multicasting to LinkedIn/YouTube at ~$25/mo beats a webinar platform. Pair with a simple form on the client's site. ## The agency-specific warning True white-labeling with per-client sub-accounts barely exists in this market - it's a long-standing complaint across platforms, including [Zoho's own community threads from agencies asking for exactly that](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/zoho-webinar-hard-for-agencies). Everyone bills per host/workspace, so you'll either buy a seat per client or have each client own their own account with you as a user. I'd push for the latter anyway: the client owns their registrant data, you're not the data controller for their attendee PII, and you don't lose the asset when the relationship ends. Keep one agency-owned account (Demio or Livestorm) for your own demand gen and for clients too small to buy their own. One caveat on sourcing: most "best webinar platform" rankings you'll find are published by vendors ranking themselves or by affiliate directories - the ordering above is my own, not theirs. **Sources:** - [Livestorm vs Demio comparison](https://www.getcontrast.io/learn/livestorm-vs-demio) - [Demio pricing (G2)](https://g2.com/products/demio/pricing) - [WebinarJam pricing (G2)](https://g2.com/products/webinarjam/pricing) - [Best Webinar Software in 2026 (DesignRush)](https://www.designrush.com/agency/digital-marketing/trends/best-webinar-software) - [Zoho community: agencies and white-labeled webinars](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/zoho-webinar-hard-for-agencies)
