Which webinar platform should a small business use?
Zoom Webinars, for most small businesses, because your audience already has Zoom: it costs $66.67 a month billed annually or $89 monthly, priced by how many attendees you need. Airmeet suits B2B webinars and virtual events that need networking and pipeline tracking, from $167 a month billed yearly ($199 monthly). Livestorm charges per attendee, EUR 2.50 for each person who joins on Pro, which works when audiences are small and irregular. StreamYard is for broadcasting a talk to YouTube and LinkedIn at once, with a free plan and paid plans from Rs 1,399 a month billed yearly. The rule: use a webinar tool when you need registrations and a lead list, stream with StreamYard when you only want reach, and set the pipeline you expect from the session before you book it.
