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

Livestorm

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

Zoho Meeting

  • The free plan limits each meeting to 60 minutes and 100 participants
  • Paid plans are sold in fixed participant tiers of 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250, so capacity is bought in blocks
  • Recording storage on the Standard plan is 5 GB per host, with additional 25 GB blocks sold annually up to 1 TB per organisation
  • The free trial runs 14 days
