Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Demio
- The Starter plan at $45 a month billed annually caps attendees at 50 and sessions at 3 hours
- Automated and pre recorded on demand webinars are excluded from Starter, so the entry plan is live only
- 1080p streaming, restreaming, live captions, auto transcriptions and custom domains are all Premium only
- Attendee capacity is a priced tier within a plan rather than a soft limit, at 150, 500, 1,000 or 3,000
- Only Premium, at $196 a month billed annually, removes the host limit
Panopto
- No price list is published, and the vendor states there are no tiers at all
- Cost depends on user count, integrations, add ons and deployment model, so several negotiated variables set the figure
- Four capabilities are separately priced add ons on top of any quote
- Every route to a figure is a demo or a conversation with sales
