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

Goldcast

  • No pricing is published for any of the four product lines, and none carries a seat, event or processing limit on the page
  • Team workspaces, SSO, custom reports and custom permissions are described as enterprise features rather than being included
  • Only the Content Lab offers a self serve start, with everything else beginning at a sales demo
