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
Airmeet
- Interface has many interactive features requiring new attendees to understand social lounges, speed networking, polls, and QA before joining
- Mobile experience not on par with desktop version; effective hosting requires a laptop
- Resource-intensive platform that can be heavy on bandwidth, with video quality degradation on weak internet connections
- Limited customization options for backgrounds, banners, and landing page content
