## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in order
> 
> **1. Zoom Webinars** - Default recommendation for most small businesses. Your audience already knows how to join, it never breaks, and it scales from 500 to 50,000 attendees. The catch: it's an add-on, so you need a Zoom Workplace plan underneath it, and the webinar add-on starts around $79/mo (≈$340/mo at 1,000 attendees). Weakest on marketing features - registration pages and follow-up are basic.
> 
> **2. Demio** - Best pick if the webinar *is* the marketing funnel. Browser-based (no attendee downloads, which measurably improves show-up rates), with polls, CTA offers, and handouts built in, plus live, automated, and hybrid webinars in one tool. Roughly $49-$234/mo. Flat monthly pricing, so your cost doesn't jump when turnout does.
> 
> **3. Livestorm** - Strongest for product demos and recurring SaaS-style sessions; good analytics and CRM integrations. Has a genuine free tier to test with. Pricing is per unique attendee (credit-based, ~€2.50/credit, ~$105/mo entry) - cheap for small predictable audiences, punishing at scale. A 3,000-person event can run €7,500.
> 
> **4. EverWebinar (or WebinarJam)** - Only if your model is evergreen, always-on automated webinars that
