Citrix ShareFile

  • Integrated electronic signature is included only on the ShareFile Premium plans
  • On-premises and hybrid storage are available only with the Enterprise plans
  • Only employee users are licensed and can manage the account; client users are unlimited but limited to uploading and downloading files

Livestorm

  • Billed per attendee credit at 2.50 EUR, where one credit is consumed per unique participant per session over a 12 month period
  • Cost therefore scales with audience rather than being a flat subscription, so a successful webinar is a larger bill

  • Live attendees are capped at 3,000 per event on both published plans
  • Enterprise pricing is custom and not published
