## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest you evaluate them:
> 
> **1. Demio - my default pick for most small businesses.** Browser-based (no downloads for attendees), handles live, automated, and hybrid webinars in one tool, and the engagement features you actually convert with - polls, timed offers, handouts, CTAs - are built in rather than bolted on. Good native CRM/email integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign). Roughly $45-$59/mo on annual billing at the entry tier, scaling with attendee count.
> 
> **2. Zoom Webinars - the safe, low-friction choice.** Everyone already knows the interface, so you lose almost no attendees to "how do I join." Add-on pricing starts around $79/mo per license for 500 attendees, which is pricier than it looks for small audiences - but if you already pay for Zoom and your audience is non-technical, the reliability and familiarity are worth it.
> 
> **3. Livestorm - best if you run demos or want to pay only for people who show up.** Fully browser-based, unlimited team seats, and a per-unique-attendee credit model (~€2.50/credit) that means no-shows don't cost you. That pricing shape is genuinely great for irregular,
