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

vFairs

  • The pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no named cost driver, and directs every enquiry to a demo booking or a sales email
  • Extra sessions, extra booths, accessibility features, expanded attendee capacity and managed services are all sold as paid add-ons rather than included
  • Licences are sold annually rather than per single event
