## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's who I'd actually point you to, roughly in the order I'd consider them:
> 
> **1. Zoom Webinars - the default if you don't want to think about it.**
> Everyone already knows how to join a Zoom link, so your attendance rate goes up and your support burden goes to near zero. It's the cheapest sane entry point for occasional live sessions (~$79/mo for 300 attendees, ~$95/mo for 500), but note it's an *add-on* - you need a Zoom Workplace Pro seat underneath it, so budget for both. Weakness: it's a meeting tool wearing a webinar hat. Registration pages, email sequences, and analytics are thin.
> 
> **2. Demio - my pick if the webinar is a marketing/sales channel.**
> Browser-based (no attendee downloads, which is the single biggest killer of show-up rates), clean-looking rooms, built-in registration pages, polls, handouts, and CTA buttons you can fire mid-session. Starts around $45-50/mo on annual billing. This is the one I'd recommend to most small businesses doing monthly lead-gen or demo webinars.
> 
> **3. Livestorm - best if you run recurring sessions with a small team.**
> Also fully browser-based, strong on the operational side: team roles, recurring event scheduling, solid CRM/Hubspot-style
