Written for the person running marketing webinars on Zoom who has outgrown a themeable registration page and a post-event CSV. If you are shopping for a meetings tool, this is not your page — Zoom is very good at that job.
Demio for polish and reporting, Livestorm for browser-native delivery at international scale, Crowdcast if you sell seats, BigMarker if your events reach conference size or go in-person. All four are better answers than ours for that job.
Contrast if HubSpot is your source of truth and the room is the only gap. Agorix if you would rather stop stitching — registration, room, follow-up and checkout on one customer record, disclosed below as our own product.
Zoom’s room works. These are structural facts from Zoom’s own documentation about what the product is shaped to do — every one of them linked below. If none of them describes a problem you actually have, stay on Zoom.
Zoom Webinars is an add-on license sitting on top of a paid Zoom account, and the capacity comes in purchased tiers — Zoom’s own documentation gives “Webinar 500 and Webinar 1000” as the example of holding different licenses of the same add-on. Attendance is capped at what you bought, so a bigger audience is a bigger license rather than a one-night adjustment. [5][6]
You can set the color scheme, title, banner, logo and speaker information, within documented image size ceilings, and add custom questions in three formats — short answer, single answer, multiple answers. What you do not get is the page itself: the layout, the markup and the structure are Zoom’s, and the same template serves every webinar you run. [2][3]
The template set includes an attendee follow-up email and a separate absentee follow-up email, with reminders that fire one hour, one day or one week before. Editing a single webinar’s email means the subject line plus text added at the beginning or end; anything deeper is account-level HTML and CSS in FreeMarker format. On Pro accounts, Zoom notes the From field cannot be modified. [1]
Zoom produces registration, attendee, performance, Q&A, poll and survey reports, and states plainly that they “can be exported in a CSV format for further analysis”, available for the previous year. Watch time, questions and poll answers exist — they just exist in a download, so nothing can branch on them until someone moves the file into the system that sends the email. [4][9]
Production studio, backstage, simulive, resource links, breakout rooms and RTMP are documented as not available in the standard Zoom Webinars license. Simulive — the closest thing to an evergreen session — requires Zoom Events Unlimited or Zoom Webinars Plus Unlimited, and holding both a high-capacity license and a premium one means choosing capacity or premium features before the webinar starts, with no switching once it begins. [7][8]
Feature checklists all look alike in this category. These are the six places where the difference between two products shows up as money or as work.
Ordered by how close each one sits to the reader this page is written for, not by preference. Entry prices are the lowest published paid plan on each vendor’s own pricing page.
Agorix runs the marketing webinar and the machine around it: branded registration and reminders, a browser-based live session with chat, polls, questions and timed offers, then follow-up, checkout, courses and workflows on the same customer record. Because the room is part of the platform, arrival time, watch time, questions asked and offer clicks are available to the follow-up while the session is still running, rather than as an export the next morning.
Every paid plan includes the whole platform — the tier sets capacity, not access — and one-time room boosts add attendee capacity for a single event instead of forcing a permanent upgrade for one busy night.
If what you want is a nicer place to present and your CRM, email and checkout are already settled, buying Agorix means paying for parts you will not use. Take Demio for polish and reporting, Livestorm for browser-native delivery, Crowdcast if you sell seats, or BigMarker if your events run at conference scale. The case for Agorix only holds when the seam between the room and the rest of the funnel is the thing costing you money.
Demio is the most like-for-like upgrade from Zoom for a marketing team. The room runs in the browser — Demio’s own positioning is that “simple is the name of the game for presenters, registrants, and attendees” — and every tier ships a dedicated, customizable registration page with custom fields, branded automated email notifications, and engagement analytics with registration-source and UTM tracking plus one-click data export.
The fine print is at the entry tier. Starter is a 50-person room limited to one host and three-hour sessions, and it cannot run automated or on-demand webinars at all. Above it, Demio prices per host with the room size you choose, so scale and concurrency are two separate decisions.
Contrast has the deepest native follow-up of any specialist on this page, and does not make you buy up a tier to get it. The entry Pro plan lists branded registration pages, embedded registration forms, three automatic reminder emails, two automatic follow-up emails, and the ability to send email based on attendance. Registration fields can be linked to HubSpot properties, and the HubSpot integration is native rather than a marketplace bridge.
Pre-recorded, recurring and replay/on-demand webinars are on Pro too, which is unusual here. The model to understand is the meter: Contrast bills unique registrants per month, and those reset monthly — so a campaign that registers well but converts to attendance poorly still consumes the plan.
Livestorm’s room runs in the browser with nothing to download, and the entry Pro plan carries registration pages with custom fields, email cadences covering reminders and follow-up, on-demand events, multi-session events, UTM tracking and data export. Team members do not consume capacity, which makes it comfortable for larger internal teams.
The pricing model is the thing to understand before you commit. Livestorm bills attendee credits — one credit per unique participant, per session, over a twelve-month period — and a credit is consumed whether that person joined live, watched the replay, or watched on demand. Registrations and no-shows cost nothing.
WebinarJam is the cheapest published entry on this page and it bundles its sister evergreen product: EverWebinar is “included in the Basic, Professional, and Enterprise packages at no additional cost”. The room is browser-based with no download, and the platform ships a point-and-click page builder with A/B split-testing, an email and SMS system, and replay management.
Two structural things decide whether it fits. The Starter tier is excluded from the EverWebinar bundle — its “Automated Webinars” row is the one marked not included — so anything evergreen genuinely starts at Basic. And every tier caps session length, from one hour on Starter to four hours at the top plan.
The cheapest credible option here by a wide margin. Standard starts at $9 per organizer per month — $8 billed annually — for a 25-attendee room, and even that tier includes recording, co-organizers, embeddable registration forms, webinar series, co-branding, browser-based joining on mobile, and 24-hour webinars, which is a longer session limit than anything else on this page.
The gating is concentrated at the marketing end, which is exactly where a Zoom-switcher is looking. Registration page branding and registration form customization begin at Professional. On-demand webinars, custom domains and email customization are Enterprise-only — and Enterprise starts at a 500-attendee room, so there is no small version of it.
Crowdcast is the only option on this page besides Agorix with native checkout: Stripe is built in, with fixed or sliding-scale pricing, donations and coupons. Registration, the live session and the replay all share one page with one-click registration, there is nothing to install, and replay storage is unlimited on every tier.
It is priced for a different shape of business than a B2B demand-gen team. You pay for the people who actually turn up — registration is unlimited, live attendance is what counts — and streaming hours are metered by tier. The email layer is deliberately light: a confirmation on registration and a single reminder ten minutes before.
BigMarker is the only option here that goes beyond webinars into physical events. Its own pricing page describes it as “the world’s leading digital platform to elevate both in-person and online events”, with badging and check-in and mobile event apps alongside webcasts, and separate package families for webcasts, events and media hubs. The published capacity ceiling is 500,000 live attendees — far above anything else on this page — and registrants are unlimited on every tier.
Nothing is priced publicly. All three webcast tiers display “Let’s talk…” with a Request a Quote button, so a like-for-like cost comparison against everything else here cannot be made from published information. That is a fact about the buying process as much as the product: this is sold by a sales team, to event teams.
Entry price is the lowest published paid plan on each vendor’s own pricing page. Where a vendor publishes no price, the cell says so rather than estimating.

Run one session in a native room and look at what the follow-up knows when it starts. That is the comparison this table cannot make for you.
Find the row that describes your operation, not the product with the longest feature list. A roundup that recommended its own author every time would not be worth reading.
When the registration page, the room, the email system and the checkout are one system, attendance behavior is available to the follow-up while it still means something. This is the case where a specialist room plus a CRM plus a checkout is genuinely more expensive and more fragile than one platform — and the case where it is not, is every other row in this list.
The closest like-for-like upgrade from Zoom for a marketing team: browser-based, well-finished, with engagement analytics and source tracking on every tier. Budget for Growth rather than Starter if you want automated or on-demand sessions.
Three reminders, two follow-ups and attendance-based sending are all on the entry plan, and registration fields map to HubSpot properties. Watch the registrant meter rather than the attendee count when you size it.
Browser-native with nothing to install, strong compliance posture, and free team seats. Accept the annual-only commitment, and model the credit burn including replays before you pick a tier.
Zoho is the cheapest entry at $9 per organizer per month, if you can live with marketing features gated to Professional and Enterprise. WebinarJam is the cheapest published cost per attendee and bundles EverWebinar from Basic upward — but budget for Basic, not Starter, and bring your own checkout.
Native Stripe checkout with sliding scale and donations, on one page with the session and the replay. Price in the streaming-hour meter and the 5% transaction fee on the lower tiers.
The only option here with badging, check-in and mobile event apps, and a published ceiling of 500,000 live attendees. Expect a sales conversation rather than a price, and expect evergreen, ticketing and CRM sync to sit at Enterprise.

Because it is our page, and pretending otherwise would be worse. Agorix is listed first with a disclosure badge on the entry itself, and the honest scope is stated there: Agorix is an all-in-one platform with the webinar room native, which is a real advantage for some readers and a poor fit for others.
The seven alternatives below it are described from their own published pages, with their real strengths and their real watch-outs, and six of the seven rows in the “how to choose” section point at one of them rather than at us. If you only want a better standalone room, one of those is the right answer.
Three of the options here publish a free tier. Contrast offers a permanent free plan for up to 30 unique registrants per month with no credit card, though on-demand videos are deleted after 15 days. Zoho Webinar’s free plan runs 20 attendees with a 60-minute cap. Livestorm has a free plan too, but its own pages describe the session limit differently in different places, so we do not quote a number for it. Free tiers in this category are sized for testing the product, not for running a funnel.
This is the most commonly gated feature in the category, so check the tier rather than the vendor. Contrast includes pre-recorded, recurring and on-demand webinars on its entry Pro plan. Livestorm includes on-demand events on Pro. Demio requires Growth. WebinarJam requires Basic, where the bundled EverWebinar arrives. Zoho requires Enterprise. BigMarker requires Enterprise. On Agorix, evergreen capability is limited on Launch and expands from Growth upward. On Zoom itself, simulive requires Zoom Events Unlimited or Zoom Webinars Plus Unlimited rather than the standard Webinars license.
No, and for a lot of teams the honest answer is to keep it. Zoom’s meeting product is not what this page is about — if your webinars are internal all-hands, customer training or cohort calls for people who already bought, the reporting-and-CSV workflow is usually fine and switching buys you little. The case for moving is specific: you are running marketing webinars to acquire customers, and the follow-up needs to know what happened in the room. For the direct head-to-head on that question, see Agorix vs Zoom Webinars.
Zoho Webinar at $9 per organizer per month, for a 25-attendee room, followed by WebinarJam at $39/mo billed annually for 100 attendees. Both headline prices come with structural conditions worth pricing in: Zoho gates registration branding to Professional and on-demand webinars to Enterprise, and licenses per organizer; WebinarJam’s Starter tier caps sessions at one hour, excludes automated webinars, and does not process payments at all. The cheapest subscription and the cheapest stack are often different answers.
No. The current self-serve trial does not enable the AI Operator. The trial runs 14 days at 25 live attendees, 500 marketing contacts and 2,500 emails, with $0 due today and a payment method required. Paid plans include monthly AI Credits, and a walkthrough can show how the Operator uses shared customer and business context before you pick a plan.
If one of the seven alternatives above fits you better, take it — that is why they are on this page. If the gap you keep paying for is the seam between the room and the follow-up, run one webinar on Agorix and watch where the behavior lands.
14 days · $0 due today · Payment method required · Cancel before first charge and pay nothingAgorix plan prices, capacities and trial terms come from our own pricing page. Four things are deliberately absent because we could not verify them from a vendor-owned page. GoTo Webinar was in our candidate set, but every goto.com pricing and product page refused our requests and its help centre renders no content to a crawler, so it is omitted rather than described from third-party summaries. Zoom’s per-tier dollar prices are not served on a crawlable vendor page, so we describe how Zoom Webinars is licensed and capacity-tiered instead of quoting figures. Livestorm states two different free-plan session limits on two of its own pages, and WebinarJam’s pricing page describes its trial as both free and $1, so neither number appears above. Competitor pricing and features change; this page is re-verified quarterly and the stamp moves with it. No competitor logos, interface screenshots, review scores or ratings appear on this page by design.
