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

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
