Best Webinar Software in 2026

Zoom Webinars is the broadcast-format product of Zoom, the video company whose meetings client became a default tool for remote work. Webinars run on the same client and infrastructure as Zoom Meetings, so attendees who already have the application installed can join without a separate download, and hosts manage events from the same web portal they use for meetings. Zoom now sells the product in three tiers. The base Webinars plan covers the standard webinar platform with chat, reactions, polls, Q&A, custom backgrounds, AI-generated chapters for recordings and downloadable performance reports. Webinars Plus adds pre-recorded content presented as live, a private backstage for speakers and moderators, pro layouts and scenes, AI-generated event pages and AI tools for turning recordings into text and video.

The top tier, Zoom Events, moves the product toward virtual conference software: multiple simultaneous stages, ticket types, a virtual lobby, sponsor connections, attendee networking and hybrid event support. Zoom states that the products support up to 100,000 attendees, and that capacity is set by the licence purchased; a 500-attendee licence admits 500 people even when registration is unlimited. A documented limitation is that the pricing page shows no free trial for webinars, and the pay-per-attendee option for the higher tiers is sold without a published price.

Microsoft Teams includes webinars and town halls in its Events app (formerly the Meet app), which is preinstalled for all Teams users. Organisers use one creation flow and either a webinar or town hall template; an option called Optimize for large audience switches an event into broadcast mode, where attendees cannot use cameras or microphones, watch with a slight delay and interact through Q&A.

Microsoft's admin documentation sets out capacity by licence. With Teams Enterprise, organisers can run interactive events of up to 1,000 attendees with attendee microphones, cameras, chat, polls and Q&A; up to 3,000 attendees with chat, reactions, polls and Q&A; and up to 10,000 attendees in a view-only experience. An Attendee Capacity Pack add-on raises the ceiling to 100,000, and Microsoft recommends its Teams Events Services for events above 20,000 attendees. Registration supports waitlists, manual approval, custom registration forms and editable email templates. A licensing change on 1 April 2026 moved some features that previously required Teams Premium into Teams Enterprise; Teams Premium continues to carry branding, advanced meeting protection and intelligence features such as live translated captions and intelligent recap.

The main limitation for external marketing is that Teams is designed around a tenant and its admin policies; attendees cannot dial in to events, and recordings of large-audience events expire after 30 days by default (extendable to 60).

ON24 is a San Francisco-based platform for B2B enterprise sales and marketing teams that describes itself as an intelligent engagement platform built on webinars, first-party engagement data and AI-powered workflows. It was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ONTF until its sale to Cvent, the event management software company. Cvent announced the agreement on 30 December 2025: an all-cash deal with total consideration of about US$400 million, or US$8.10 per ON24 share, a premium of roughly 62% over the closing price on 10 November 2025. Trade coverage published on 7 April 2026 reported that Cvent had closed the acquisition and planned to keep investing in ON24 with a focus on AI, reliability and compliance, while folding it into Cvent's programme covering in-person, hybrid and virtual events.

ON24's positioning differs from meeting-derived webinar tools: the product is aimed at marketing departments that run continuous webinar programmes and want attendee behaviour data to flow into marketing automation and CRM systems for lead scoring. Documented limitations are that ON24 publishes no prices (its pricing page was not accessible for this list) and that its roadmap is now tied to Cvent's broader event-platform strategy, which buyers comparing it with Cvent's own webinar and Goldcast products will need to clarify with the vendor.

GoTo Webinar is a standalone webinar product sold by GoTo, which also sells GoTo Meeting and GoTo Stage. GoTo says the platform powers more than 2.8 million events a year. The product covers the full webinar cycle: branded registration pages and forms, automated invitations, confirmations and reminders, a Practice Mode for rehearsals, polls, live Q&A, breakout rooms and reactions, post-session attendance and engagement reports, and Simulive sessions that combine pre-recorded video with live interaction. Paid events and certified training are supported, and integrations listed on the product page include HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce Pardot, Prezi, Interprefy and Intellum.

The pricing page lists three tiers. Reach supports up to 500 attendees with one organiser seat, reporting, automated reminders, polls, Q&A and a mobile app. Elevate raises the limit to 1,000 and adds branded webinars and custom URLs, cloud recordings, AI summaries and transcripts, recordings run as live events and breakout rooms. Complete, sold by quote, raises the limit to 3,000 and adds custom organiser seats, unlimited live streaming, paid events and certified training, a GoTo Meeting licence and source tracking. A limitation of the current pricing page is that prices were not displayed in the version reviewed, even though it lists eight billing currencies, and the length of the free trial is not stated.

Webex Webinars is Cisco's webinar product, part of the Webex collaboration suite that also includes meetings, calling and events. The webinars plan includes unlimited webinars; registration with custom branded pages and automated emails; live, simulive and on-demand streaming; practice sessions; attendee moderation; breakout rooms; speaker management and content sharing; CRM integrations with Salesforce, Eloqua and others; and closed captions and translation.

Capacity is offered in tiers of 1,000, 3,000, 5,000, 10,000 and more than 10,000 attendees, although the pricing page does not map tiers to plans and the base plan's feature list specifies up to 1,000 attendees. For organisations that already run Webex meetings or calling, webinars sit under the same vendor and administration. An optional Real-Time Translation add-on translates sessions from English into more than 100 closed-captioned languages for US$300 per licence per year, with a 15-day free trial. The main limitation is price transparency: the webinars plan itself is sold through sales, so smaller teams cannot compare cost without a quote.

BigMarker is a browser-based webinar and virtual event platform used for marketing webinars, evergreen and automated sessions, and large webcasts. The company says it has hosted more than 50,000 webinars for over 8,000 companies and organisations in 190 countries and territories, and names PBS, 1871 and Techweek among users.

Its pricing page lists three annual plans. Basic supports up to 1,000 live attendees, one host licence and nine webcams, with live and on-demand webinars, Facebook and YouTube Live, chat, polls, Q&A, handouts, pop-up offers, full-service registration and email, post-session surveys and basic analytics. Enterprise raises capacity to 10,000 attendees, four host licences and 64 webcams, and adds a CRM or marketing-automation integration, Simulive, evergreen and 24/7 webinars, webinar series, ticketing and payments, breakout rooms, co-browsing, certificates of completion, API and Zapier access, and an SLA. Enterprise+ reaches 500,000 attendees with six host licences, two CRM integrations, white-labelled domains, custom page and email design, live captioning and translation, attendee dial-in, embeddable webinar rooms, SSO and MFA.

BigMarker's breadth makes it one of the most capable marketing-webinar tools in this list. Its limitations are that every plan is quote-only and sold as an auto-renewing annual subscription, with trials arranged by e-mail request.

Livestorm is a browser-based platform for webinars and virtual events, run by a fully remote team. Its company timeline records its first customer in June 2016 and its 500th customer in September 2018, and its co-founder and chief executive is Gilles Bertaux. Because attendees join in a browser, there is nothing to install, which suits external marketing and customer-education audiences.

Livestorm's pricing is unusual in this category. The Pro plan is sold as packs of attendee credits at €2.50 per attendee, with one credit used per unique participant per session over a 12-month period; team members are not counted. Pro allows unlimited events and recordings, unlimited team members, up to 3,000 live attendees per event and sessions of up to four hours, and includes the Livestorm MCP connector for AI assistants and popular integrations. Enterprise, priced by quote, extends sessions to 12 hours and adds enterprise integrations, custom analytics, a customer success contact, live event shadowing and VIP multilingual support with an SLA. Add-ons include AI Studio, live translations, multiple workspaces, a choice of video hosting region, SAML SSO, restreaming and RTMP input. A free trial requires no credit card.

The per-attendee model is cost-efficient for teams that run many small sessions, but it makes costs scale directly with audience size, and the published price is in euros rather than US dollars.

Demio is a browser-based webinar platform aimed at marketing teams, owned by Banzai International, a demand-generation company headquartered on Bainbridge Island, Washington, whose portfolio also includes Boost, OpenReel and ConnectAndSell. Demio covers live, automated and on-demand webinars, with a focus on registration conversion and marketing integrations.

Plans are priced per host. Starter costs $45 a month billed annually or $63 monthly, with one host, a 50-attendee room, three-hour sessions, four people on stage and 15 event admins. Growth costs $117 a month annually, with room sizes of 150, 500, 1,000 or 3,000, eight-hour sessions, six on stage, custom room and e-mail branding and the Showcase feature. Premium costs $196 a month and supports unlimited hosts, ten-hour sessions, ten on stage, 50 event admins, priority support, a dedicated success manager, premium integrations including HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo and Pardot, custom domains, 1080p streaming, restreaming, live captions and Demio AI. Annual billing is advertised as a 30% saving.

A 14-day trial includes Growth features but is capped at 20 attendees and one-hour sessions. Limitations include the per-host structure, which requires a separate host for each simultaneous event on Growth and Premium, the restriction of CRM integrations to Premium, and a pricing page that shows prices only with a dollar sign.

Airmeet is a platform for webinars and virtual, hybrid and in-person events. The company was founded in August 2019, lists its address in Covina, California, names Lalit Mangal as chief executive and says it is trusted by more than 4,000 organisations.

Its Premium Webinars plan (formerly Standard) costs from $167 a month billed yearly or $199 monthly, starts at 100 attendees per webinar and scales to 10,000, includes two team members and allows up to 150 events a year. It covers live, simulive and on-demand webinars, analytics with a report builder, instant replays, engagement tools, CRM integrations, networking, ticketing and sponsorship, iOS and Android apps, and 720p streaming. The Events plan (formerly Professional), sold by quote, adds in-person, virtual and hybrid formats, multi-track sessions, a custom e-mail domain, private meetings, a mobile check-in app and a dedicated success manager, with 1080p streaming as an add-on. Managed Events adds full-service production, with brand conferences starting at $4,999, and an Agency Plan charges per attendee with no platform fee.

Pricing is based on the attendee limit rather than registrations, with overage billed after the event or covered by prepaid bundles. Limitations include 720p streaming on the webinar plan and per-plan annual event caps that sit awkwardly beside the FAQ's statement that events are unlimited.

Zoho Webinar is the webinar application in Zoho's suite of business software, which also includes Zoho CRM, Zoho Campaigns and Zoho Meeting. It is priced per organiser and is one of the few products in this list with a permanent free plan, which allows 20 attendees and webinars of up to 60 minutes with screen sharing, polls, Q&A and raise-hand.

The Standard plan offers attendee tiers from 25 to 1,000 and adds webinars of up to 24 hours, recording, VoIP dial-in, user management, co-branding, embedded registration forms, webinar series, annotation, browser joining on mobile, workflows and webhooks. Professional adds tiers up to 3,000 attendees, registration page branding, source tracking, registration moderation, form customisation, registrationless webinars, live streaming, advanced analytics, a HubSpot integration, smart chapters and highlights and an AI writing assistant. Enterprise offers tiers from 500 to 5,000 attendees and adds on-demand webinars, a custom domain, e-mail customisation, domain restriction for registration, anonymous questions and departments. Each organiser receives 10 GB of recording storage.

Yearly billing saves 15%, a 14-day trial requires no card, and non-profit and educational pricing is available. A limitation is that the US-dollar plan prices did not render on the pricing page reviewed, so exact costs must be confirmed with Zoho; premium support costs 20% of the licence fee.

ClickMeeting is a browser-based webinar platform priced in euros and oriented toward training, education and paid online courses. Its standard plans support up to 1,000 attendees and its Enterprise plan up to 10,000.

The Essential plan covers 50 to 100 attendees with two presenters, five breakout rooms, paid webinars, tests and quizzes, a whiteboard, e-mail automation and CRM lead capture. Standard covers 100 to 300 attendees and adds automated and on-demand webinars, automated follow-ups, three presenters, ten breakout rooms, certificates, live transcription, a recording paywall and a REST API. Pro covers 500 to 1,000 attendees with four presenters, 20 breakout rooms, more storage and five AI summaries or transcriptions a month. Enterprise, quoted individually, reaches 10,000 attendees and adds sub-accounts, SSO, ISO 27001, end-to-end encryption, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, an SLA, white-labelling and a custom domain.

A 14-day trial needs no card and allows a webinar for 25 attendees. Limitations are that plan prices did not render on the page reviewed (amounts appear in euros) and that recording storage is modest on lower plans, from two hours on Essential.

WebinarGeek is a webinar platform with offices in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands, and New York. It is aimed at marketing and education teams that run live, automated and on-demand webinars and want European data handling and Dutch, English and other localisations.

The Premium plan costs €59 a month billed yearly (shown as discounted from €99), supports up to 1,000 live viewers per session, 100 presenters and sessions of up to eight hours, and includes one account user. It covers all webinar types, custom branding, marketing integrations, live captions, AI analysis and restreaming to YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook or RTMP. Enterprise costs €349 a month on an annual contract, raises capacity to 5,000 viewers and 12-hour sessions, includes three users, and adds a custom domain, studio-quality RTMP streaming, workspaces, Salesforce and HubSpot integrations, localisation into five languages, advanced GDPR terms, an SLA with phone support and a dedicated success manager.

A 14-day trial includes all Premium features. Limitations are that extra users, HubSpot and Salesforce connectors, localisation and the AI assistant are paid add-ons on Premium, and prices are in euros only on the page reviewed.

WebinarJam is a webinar platform operated by Genesis Digital LLC of Las Vegas, Nevada, which also sells EverWebinar for automated sessions. It is aimed at course creators, coaches and online sellers, with features built around conversion: live offer displays, e-mail and SMS reminders, A/B split testing of pages, video injections, attendee spotlight, an always-on live room and a panic button that moves a failing broadcast to a new room. Every plan includes unlimited webinars and broadcasting to Facebook and YouTube.

Starter costs $49 a month or $39 billed annually, for 100 attendees, one host and one-hour sessions. Basic costs $99 or $79 annually, for 500 attendees, two hosts and two-hour sessions, and includes EverWebinar. Professional costs $299 or $229, for 2,000 attendees, four hosts and three hours. Enterprise costs $499 or $379, for 5,000 attendees, six hosts and four hours. A 14-day trial costs $1, and a 30-day money-back guarantee applies.

Limitations include hard session-length caps (one hour on Starter), a feature set oriented toward direct-response selling rather than B2B analytics, and a pricing page that shows a dollar sign without naming the currency.

StreamYard is a browser-based live-streaming studio used to broadcast shows, interviews and webinars to platforms such as YouTube and LinkedIn, and to host webinars on its own On-Air pages. The site is operated by Bending Spoons Operations S.p.A., part of the Italian software group Bending Spoons.

A free plan includes six on-screen participants, two hours a month of local recording and the StreamYard logo on streams. Essential costs $18.99 a month or $14.99 billed yearly, with unlimited streaming, two multistream destinations and 1080p. Core costs $44.99 or $35.99 yearly, removes the logo and adds three destinations, ten on-screen participants, custom RTMP, cloud recording, AI clips and 50 hours of storage. Advanced costs $88.99 or $68.99 yearly, adds eight destinations, 15 backstage participants, 4K local recordings, transcript downloads and On-Air webinars for up to 100 viewers. Paid plans include a seven-day trial, and payment is accepted in US dollars or Indian rupees.

StreamYard's strength is production quality and multistreaming rather than registration and lead capture. Its On-Air webinar capacity of 100 viewers is the smallest in this list, so it suits teams whose main audience watches on social platforms.
