The short version

  • Only Microsoft Teams Live Events has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Microsoft Teams Live Events teams live events retired on June 30, 2026, and only events scheduled before that date remain supported through February 28, 2027; Webikeo webikeo operated a two-tier model (Freemium and Premium), confirmed by its own site navigation exposing separate "Premium channels" category pages distinct from free browsing, but no archived page ever discloses a price for the Premium tier; the theme's own asset filenames (logo-tarif-freemium.png, logo-tarif-premium.png) are the only trace of what a dedicated pricing page once showed (archived category page, 1 December 2015)
  • They diverge on capability: Microsoft Teams Live Events covers Live Q&A, Webikeo covers Live webinars.

Where each one falls short

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

Microsoft Teams Live Events

  • Teams live events retired on June 30, 2026, and only events scheduled before that date remain supported through February 28, 2027
  • Microsoft directs users to the separate unified Teams events experience instead
  • Organizers must use the Teams web client to schedule a live event; scheduling is not available in the desktop client
  • Users cannot schedule meetings or live events when offline or running with limited bandwidth
  • Keeping internal broadcast traffic off the corporate network requires an eCDN, either Microsoft's own or a certified partner such as Hive, Kollective or Ramp

Webikeo

  • Webikeo operated a two-tier model (Freemium and Premium), confirmed by its own site navigation exposing separate "Premium channels" category pages distinct from free browsing, but no archived page ever discloses a price for the Premium tier; the theme's own asset filenames (logo-tarif-freemium.png, logo-tarif-premium.png) are the only trace of what a dedicated pricing page once showed (archived category page, 1 December 2015)
