## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them. One caveat up front: most of the "best webinar platform" rankings online are published by the vendors themselves, so I'm weighting toward pricing facts and what each tool is structurally good at rather than those rankings.
> 
> **1. Zoom Webinars - the default if you just need it to work.**
> Cheapest entry point and the one your attendees already know how to use, which matters more than people admit: no "how do I join" support emails. Starts around $13-14/user/month for the underlying Workplace plan, but the Webinars add-on itself starts at a 500-attendee tier, so the real cost is higher than the headline. Weak on marketing automation - it's a broadcast tool, not a funnel.
> 
> **2. Demio - best all-around pick for a small business doing marketing webinars.**
> Browser-based (no attendee downloads), handles live, automated, and hybrid from one tool, with polls, handouts, and in-webinar offers built in. Starter is about $45/host/month for 50 attendees on annual billing. This is the one I'd name first if the webinar is a lead-gen channel rather than a meeting.
> 
> **3. Livestorm - best if your attendance is lumpy or
