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

Restream

  • The free plan applies Restream branding to the stream
  • Simultaneous destinations are rationed tightly, at 2 on free, 3 on Standard and 5 on Professional
  • Recording storage is 15 days on free and Standard, rising to 30 only on Professional
  • Reaching 8 destinations costs $199 a month on the Business plan
  • Resolution is not the differentiator, since every tier including free offers 4K, so the plans sell reach and retention instead
