The answer, as recorded
Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them: **1. Zoom Webinars** - The safe default. Starts around $79/month for 500 attendees (note: it's an add-on, so you need a Zoom Workplace subscription underneath). Reason to pick it: your audience already knows how to join a Zoom, which quietly kills the biggest source of webinar drop-off. Weakest on marketing features and branding. **2. Demio** - What I'd pick if the webinar is a lead-gen tool rather than a meeting. Cheapest real entry point at ~$45/month annually (1 host, 50 attendees), $80/month for the Growth tier that unlocks automated/on-demand webinars and custom branding. Browser-based, clean registration pages, good CRM/email integrations. Best value for a small team doing a recurring monthly webinar. **3. Livestorm** - Better than Demio if you expect bursty audiences. Fully browser-based (one-click join, no download) and it prices by attendees rather than per-seat, so you're not buying licenses for people who don't show. Paid tiers start around $105/month, and there's a free tier worth testing on. Scales to 3,000 live attendees. **4. WebinarNinja** - From about $79/month annually for 500 attendees. Handles live and automated webinars in one tool, and the 24/7 support is a genuine differentiator when you're a one-person marketing team and something breaks ten minutes before you go live. **5. eWebinar** - Only if your use case is "record once, run forever" - automated/evergreen webinars with simulated live chat. It's not a live-event tool, so it's a complement rather than a replacement. **6. Zoho Webinar** - Worth a look purely on cost if you're already in the Zoho ecosystem (CRM, Campaigns). Fewer bells and whistles, but the integration is free value. Practical take: if you do fewer than one webinar a month, start with Zoom Webinars and don't overthink it. If webinars are a core acquisition channel, Demio at $80/month is the better spend because of the automated funnels.
