## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-14 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 recommend:
> 
> **1. Zoom Webinars** - The default for a reason: everyone already knows how to join, it's reliable at scale, and your audience won't fight a new interface. The 500-attendee tier runs about $95/month, 300 attendees about $79/month. The catch worth knowing up front: it's an *add-on*, so you also need a paid Zoom Workplace plan underneath - the real cost is higher than the sticker price. Best if you value familiarity and a rock-solid connection over marketing bells and whistles.
> 
> **2. Demio** - My pick if the webinar is a *sales* tool, not just a meeting. Runs entirely in the browser (no downloads for attendees, which measurably helps show-up rates), looks clean and branded, and has the conversion plumbing built in: timed CTAs, polls, handouts, automated replays. Starts around $59/month for 1 host and 50 attendees, with growth tiers at roughly $99+. This is the one most commonly recommended for small marketing and sales teams.
> 
> **3. Livestorm** - Also browser-based and polished, with strong analytics and good CRM integrations. Worth a look if you run a mix of formats (webinars, onboarding sess
