## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them for a small business, roughly in the order I'd actually suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. Zoom Webinars** - The default for a reason: your audience already knows how to use it, registration pages and reminder emails are built in, and it almost never breaks. Priced at $89/mo monthly or ~$67/mo annual for 500 attendees. Pick this if you want "it just works" and you're already paying for Zoom.
> 
> **2. Demio** - My pick if the webinar is a *marketing* channel rather than a meeting. Browser-based (no attendee downloads, which measurably helps show-up rates), clean polls/CTAs/handouts, and it pipes registrants into HubSpot/Mailchimp/ActiveCampaign cleanly. From $45/mo annual, though the entry tier caps at 50 attendees - budget for the next tier up if you expect real volume.
> 
> **3. Livestorm** - Best for recurring B2B webinars and teams that care about analytics and attribution. Also browser-based. Their pricing is per-attendee credits (~$3/attendee, cheaper at volume), which is great if you run occasional events and terrible if you run big ones monthly - do the math on your actual numbers first.
> 
> **4. WebinarJam / EverWebinar** - The cheapest real option at $39/mo annual,
