## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank them for a small business:
> 
> **1. Zoom Webinars** - Start here if you're already paying for Zoom. Your audience knows the interface, nobody has to learn anything, and attendance friction is near zero. The catch: it's an add-on on top of a paid Zoom Workplace plan, and the add-on tiers start at 500 attendees, so it's oversized (and overpriced) if you're doing 40-person sessions. Also worth knowing that plain Zoom Meetings with a webinar-ish setup is free-to-cheap and good enough for a lot of small businesses - don't buy the add-on until you've outgrown that.
> 
> **2. Demio** - My default recommendation if the webinar is a *marketing* channel rather than an occasional event. Browser-based (no download for attendees, which measurably lifts show-up rates), clean registration pages, polls/handouts/CTA offers built in, and it does live, automated, and hybrid from one tool. Around $45-$199/mo annually depending on room size. It's the one I'd pick if you're running a recurring demo or lead-gen webinar.
> 
> **3. Livestorm** - The one to pick if your attendance is lumpy or unpredictable. It charges per *unique attendee credit* (~€2.50) rather than a flat fee for a room

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
