Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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
  • The Pro plan caps sessions at 4 hours, and 12 hour sessions require Enterprise
  • Live attendees are capped at 3,000 per event on both published plans
  • Enterprise pricing is custom and not published

Adobe Connect

  • Buying guide (archived 2026 capture) names Standard, Premium and Enterprise base plans with no public dollar figures, gating price behind purchase; only one base plan can be bought per customer account
  • Meeting capacity is hard-capped to the number of concurrent user licenses purchased, with Capacity upgrades sold separately per base plan
