Where each one falls short

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

BigMarker

  • No prices are published on any tier; all three require a quote
  • Host licences are capped by tier, at 1 on Basic, 4 on Enterprise and 6 on Enterprise+
  • Attendee ceilings gate the tiers, at 1,000 on Basic against 10,000 on Enterprise
  • SSO, multi-factor authentication, white-labelled domains and live captioning are Enterprise+ only
  • API access and breakout rooms require Enterprise

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
