## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-06 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Quick flag on sourcing: a lot of the top "best webinar platform" results are vendor blogs ranking themselves #1 (EasyWebinar's list, for instance, puts EasyWebinar at the top). I've leaned on the pricing comparisons and discounted the self-rankings. Here's how I'd actually order it:
> 
> **1. Zoom Webinars - the default if you already pay for Zoom.** Your audience already knows the interface, nothing breaks, and the 300-attendee tier is about $79/mo, 500 for ~$95/mo. The catch worth knowing before you buy: it's an *add-on*, so you also need a Zoom Workplace Pro seat underneath it - the sticker price isn't the real price. Marketing features are thin (basic registration pages, shallow engagement analytics). Fine for occasional sessions, weak as a lead-gen engine.
> 
> **2. Demio - the best pick if webinars are a marketing channel, not just a meeting.** Starts at $59/mo for 50 attendees, scales to $799/mo at 3,000. Runs entirely in the browser so attendees don't download anything, the registration and email flow is built in, and setup doesn't fight you. This is what I'd recommend to most small businesses doing monthly-or-more webinars to generate leads.
> 
> **3. Livestorm - Demio's closest rival
