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

  • Live attendees are capped at 3,000 per event on both published plans
  • Enterprise pricing is custom and not published

EverWebinar

  • There is no free plan; the cheapest entry is a paid $1 trial that converts to $199 per month
  • The advertised $99 per month annual rate is billed as $1,188 charged upfront once per year, and the $79 per month rate is $1,896 charged upfront every two years
  • The $1 for 14 days trial is restricted to new customers only
  • All plans renew automatically unless cancelled
