Quick Summary

The key difference when comparing LiveWebinar and Livestorm is the price and the billing system. With LiveWebinar, you pay based on how many attendees join the event. At Livestorm, however, the charge is based on the number of the so-called active contacts – people who registered for your event. This means that with Livestorm, each registered individual is considered an active contact, and this can quickly exceed your limit. With LiveWebinar there's no such attendee limit.

Furthermore, when comparing the pricing of Livestorm and LiveWebinar, it is clear that Livestorm is considerably more expensive. LiveWebinar offers a greater variety of pricing plans, catering for various budgets and requirements.

Moreover, at LiveWebinar, finding a suitable plan to host webinars for up to 1,000 individuals is quite straightforward – you must simply browse through the available price list. However, with its alternative – Livestorm, handling over 500 active contacts will require direct communication with their Enterprise department staff.

While the Free Plan on Livestorm is a great starting point for those who want to test the tool, it's important to note that it does have its restrictions. The most prominent limitation is that any session can only last up to 20 minutes. Although this may suffice for brief interactions, such as quick consultations or discussions, it may not be adequate for longer meetings, presentations, or webinars.

With LiveWebinar Free Plan, you can host a 30-minute session. All essential features include: email invitations, registration forms, running tests, holding polls and surveys. You can also use the whiteboard feature and share documents.

When it comes to features – there is an important difference between both platforms, and it lies in the process of organizing paid events. On LiveStorm, the process is more complex and time-consuming as it requires integration with multiple external systems, starting with Stripe forms, then Zapier, and finally, the Livestorm platform. This may prove to be a difficult task for users unfamiliar with these systems and can make earning on webinars a more challenging task. LiveWebinar, in contrast, simplifies this process, which can contribute to more efficient event management and easier facilitation of earnings on webinars.

An important factor to consider when comparing LiveStorm with LiveWebinar is the lack of a Classroom/Edu Mode in Livestorm. This is a significant drawback for users in the education sector who require virtual classroom functionalities. Therefore, choosing Livestorm as an alternative to LiveWebinar might not be the most suitable choice for educational purposes.

Another key difference stands out between LiveWebinar and its alternative Livestorm: Livestorm's Enterprise plan does not allow users to host webinars under their own domain. This means that while LiveWebinar allows white label customization to promote your brand, Livestorm's highest level plan denies users the same level of personalization and brand recognition. This major restriction can limit your digital brand identity and autonomy when utilizing their webinar services.
