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

Zoom Webinar

  • Free tier capped at 40 minutes per meeting with up to 100 participants
  • Free tier lacks cloud storage and advanced AI Companion features
  • Higher tiers require commitments to larger participant counts (Business: 300, Enterprise: 1000)
