The short answer
Demio is the best webinar software for most people: registration, reminders, the live room and the replay are one product and nobody installs anything. GoTo Webinar is the value pick, at 500 attendees on the entry plan. WebinarJam is the cheapest way in, if an hour, one host and no automation is enough. eWebinar is the one to buy if the webinar runs itself.
Every price on this page is quoted at the same size, a hundred attendees and one host, and read off the vendor's own pricing page. Five were read on ; WebinarJam, Zoom and EverWebinar were re-read on , and each review carries its own date. That constraint does more damage to the usual rankings than it sounds like it should, because in this category the entry plan is where the ceilings hide.
Two of the eight tools here cannot hold a hundred attendees on their cheapest plan at all. Demio Starter stops at fifty. EasyWebinar Launch stops at fifty and has no automated viewers whatsoever.
Two more have a different kind of trap on the entry plan. GoTo Webinar holds five hundred people and cannot put a recording of any of them in the cloud. Zoom sells no hundred attendee size on its standard plan at all: its smallest is three hundred, which costs less than the hundred attendee size of the plan above it.
What each one costs at a hundred attendees
The whole comparison in one paragraph. WebinarJam Starter is $39 a month billed yearly. GoTo Webinar Reach is $59 and would hold five hundred people for the same money. Demio Growth is $80, because Starter cannot take the audience. Zoom is $80.83, being $66.67 for the three hundred seat plan, because it sells no hundred attendee size, plus the $14.16 Workplace licence it requires on a separate page. eWebinar is $84.17, and does not charge by attendee at all. EasyWebinar Growth is $116, billed monthly, because it is the one tool here that publishes no annual per-month figure.
Two of the eight do not price on attendees at all. eWebinar, above, charges by how many automated webinars you run, and EverWebinar, which that list leaves out, charges a flat $99 a month on annual billing with no published attendee cap. Neither runs a live webinar, so neither is really competing at the anchor.
Livestorm is missing from that list on purpose, because it has no plan price. It sells attendee credits at three dollars each, so the same hundred person session costs three hundred dollars and the arithmetic runs on a different axis from everything above.
The spread at a real audience size is not the spread the headlines suggest. EasyWebinar advertises from $44 and needs $116 to hold your audience, billed monthly because it publishes no annual per-month rate, and that is the highest plan price at our anchor of any tool here that publishes one. Only Livestorm costs more per session, and it has no plan price to compare. That gap between the headline and the plan you can actually buy is the single most useful thing on this page.
Everyone ranking for this term sells one of the products on it
Worth knowing before you read any webinar comparison, including this one.
When we checked the pages ranking for this search, the top result was published by EasyWebinar and had EasyWebinar at number one. Another was published by ON24 and had ON24 at number one. The one page in the set that sells no webinar software was a software company's own blog, which describes its method and discloses commission on the links it carries.
None of that is dishonest and most of it is disclosed. It is simply the shape of the category: the people who rank for "best webinar software" mostly sell webinar software.
We take no commission from any vendor on this page. This site runs no affiliate links at all, in this category or any other, so nothing here is monetised. Several of these vendors run affiliate programmes and we are in none of them. What we can promise permanently is narrower and written into the method: commission is not a field the scoring engine can read, so it cannot move an order even once we do start earning.
The decision that actually matters
Not the feature grid. Whether your webinar is live, evergreen, or both.
A live webinar is an event. What you need is a room that holds your audience, a registration page, reminders that go out on their own, and a replay for the people who did not come. Demio, GoTo and Livestorm are all built around that shape.
An evergreen webinar is a page. Someone lands, registers, and a session starts minutes later or at the next slot. What you need is scheduling logic, timed interactions, and follow-up sequences driven by how far somebody watched. eWebinar is built around that shape and does not run live events at all.
Almost every mistake in this category comes from buying a tool built for one shape and trying to make it do the other. If you need both, the honest options are WebinarJam from its Basic plan up, where EverWebinar is bundled, Demio from Growth up, or EasyWebinar from Growth up. Note that all three put automation one plan above their headline. If evergreen is the whole business, buy the specialist.
Where the tools do not overlap
Three differences worth checking against your own situation before price.
Whether anyone installs anything. Demio, WebinarJam, EverWebinar, Livestorm, eWebinar and EasyWebinar run in the browser at both ends. GoTo and Zoom put a desktop client in front of the host. Zoom is the one case where a client in front of the audience is an advantage rather than a cost, because they already have it installed.
How hosts are billed. Demio and GoTo charge per host seat. Livestorm and eWebinar give team members away entirely. With four presenters that difference is larger than any price gap on this page.
What a replay costs. On Livestorm every replay viewer spends a credit, which makes it the wrong tool for on demand and does not otherwise count against it. On GoTo the entry plan records only to your own machine, so a hosted replay page costs the step up to Elevate. Everywhere else it is free.
Pick order is not score order
Three of the also considered tools score above our budget pick. Livestorm and Zoom both score 7.7, and EasyWebinar scores 7.5, against WebinarJam at 7.4. All three sit outside the four anyway, and here is why.
Livestorm is out because of the credit model. It is the fairest pricing here for live events with unpredictable turnout and the worst for anything left running on demand, and a reader arriving at a general comparison should not be handed a recommendation whose value depends that sharply on a use case they have not told us about.
Zoom is out for a different reason. Its full price is fine, $80.83 once the Workplace licence on the other pricing page is counted, which puts it a shade above Demio. It is out because it is a communications platform with a webinar mode: registration, reminders and replay pages are thin, the year is charged upfront, and its sizing means you cannot buy a hundred seats on the cheap plan. It is the right answer to a condition, not a general recommendation.
EasyWebinar is out because its plan structure works against the buyer, which the also considered entry above sets out in full.
WebinarJam is the weakest scorer of the four, and it holds Best Budget because that role means the cheapest credible way in and nothing here is cheaper. What it does not mean is the best plan. Starter at $39 gets you one host, one hour, and no automated webinars at all, because EverWebinar starts on the plan above. The version of WebinarJam worth buying is Basic at $79, and at that price you are no longer comparing it with GoTo Reach on budget.
We published the opposite of that until 30 August 2026. The correction is on the WebinarJam review and in this page's own record.
ClickMeeting was researched and left off entirely. It renders pricing only in euros from where we checked, with no currency control, so it could not be quoted at the anchor on a site that promises dated, verified figures.
Why there is no attendance or deliverability figure on this page
You will find engagement statistics and average attendance rates on most pages competing with this one. We have not published any, and the reason is that every figure we found came from a vendor marketing report with no method attached.
We compared published plan limits, pricing pages and documented features. We did not run webinars on eight platforms and count who showed up. Nobody should take an attendance benchmark from a page that did not measure it, including ours.
