## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 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:
> 
> **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 at
