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

WebinarJam

  • Every plan caps webinar length: 1 hour on Starter, 2 hours on Basic, 3 hours on Professional and 4 hours on Enterprise
  • The Starter plan at $49 per month allows only 100 attendees per webinar and a single host
  • Even the $499 per month Enterprise plan caps attendance at 5,000 per webinar and 6 hosts
  • Additional team member seats are capped per plan, at 1 on Starter and 25 on Enterprise
  • Annual rates such as $39 per month on Starter require paying for a full year upfront
