Demio** - My default recommendation for a small business doing marketing webinars. Browser-based (no attendee downloads, which kills a surprising amount of your turnout), with registration pages, reminder emails, and post-event follow-up built in rather than bolted on. Priced per host (~$42-45/mo entry, up to 50 attendees; Growth tier $75-284), so your bill is predictable. It's also the one whose review base is genuinely small-business - about 75% of its G2 reviews. ([G2 Demio vs Livestorm](https://www.g2.com/compare/demio-vs-livestorm), [Contrast comparison](https://www.getcontrast.io/learn/livestorm-vs-demio))\n\n**2. Zoom Webinars** - The pick if your audience is already used to Zoom, you need scale, or you want the deepest integration ecosystem. Caveats: it's an add-on that requires a Zoom Workplace Pro plan underneath, it starts around $79-83/mo for 300 attendees, and the marketing side (registration pages, engagement analytics) is thin. It's a meeting tool that does webinars. ([pricing analysis](https://easywebinar.com/blog/webinar-software-pricing-2026/))\n\n**3.
