Demio
Demio is #1 webinar software that is idle for every kind of business. The features offered by Demio will help you to make most out of your webinar marketing goals. Demio supports all popular type of webinar formats, such as:
Live Webinar: A standard live presentation with real-time, HD streaming.
Series: Keep people registered across a group of live, scheduled sessions.
Hybrid: Use a combination of live streaming and pre-recorded videos.
Automated/EverGreen Webinar: Events on autopilot with a completely pre-recorded presentation and other simulated elements.
On-demand Webinar: A completely pre-recorded presentation that can be viewed instantly at any time of the day.
On-demand webinar is the most underutilized, but most effective way to make most out of your previous webinar recordings. Using the On-demand webinar, you could add users in your sales-funnel, even when you are not looking at your screen.
Demio doesnot have a free plan, but they do offer 14 days free trial, which let you access all their features. The paid plan starts @34/month, which is idle if you need more than 1 host, and your Webinar is more than 1 hour. You can invite up to 15 Presenters & Moderators for each event.
Livestorm:
Livestorm is popular among SAAS product owner for conducting a Webinar with a guest, or even for a product demo.
You can always invite a guest to conduct the Webinar for your company, and you or your team could be the host. I actually got introduced to Livestorm when a popular SAAS company ‘Pushengage‘ conducted a webinar on Livestorm. The experience was smooth, and timely email notification helped me not to miss the webinar. You can create registration pages using Livestorm platform, or you can use your own landing page, and link it using Zapier.
Livestorm offers a free plan. The limits on free plan are 10 registrants, 10 attendees and 20-minute duration. Apart from the free plan, there are two paid plans for you to pick from. Their pricing is a little tricky and could have been simpler. Anyhow, overall Livestorm is quite popular, and something you could check out.
Webinar Ninja:
WebinarNinja is a popular name among webinar software. They boast themselves as the fastest way to launch a webinar and a complete solution for webinar marketers. From preparing to marketing a webinar, Webinar Ninja got you covered..
Like other video webinar software mentioned here, they also support all popular webinar types:
Live
Automated
Series
Hybrid
WebinarNinja provide tons of high converting registration and thank you page templates, which is easy to customize. One unique feature WebinarNinja offers is, The Webinar Finder (Webinar search engine). With one click, you have an option to make your webinar part of webinar finder, or you can continue keeping it private. I don’t find it too exciting, but something you must know about Webinar ninja. Getting started with Webinarninja is easy, and their onboarding process is well-documented.
Webinarninja doesnot offer any free plan, but like Demio, they do offer 14 days free trial. The base plan (Starter) starts at $39.
Zoom Webinar:
Zoom doesnot need any introduction. Due to Covid19 situation, everyone around the globe is talking about Zoom. Zoom is popular as a video conferencing software, and a lot of people are not aware that Zoom also offers Webinar features.
It is not as fancy as other webinar software mentioned in this resource, but they do the job well, especially if you are conducting a company wide Webinar, and need something that people are used to, Zoom could do the job well.
Zoom also lets you monetize your webinars through integrations with PayPal, Eventbrite, and CVent. You can add integrated global toll-free telephone calling to your webinars. You can select one or multiple countries (120+ countries available) for premium toll-free audio.
Unlike Zoom conferencing, Webinar is not free. To use the webinar feature, you need to get the Pro account of Zoom, which is about $40/month.
