When to Choose Livestorm

Marketing and sales teams that need professional webinar hosting with built-in registration, analytics, and engagement tools

Livestorm is a webinar-first platform that does one thing very well: professional virtual events with registration, engagement tracking, and on-demand replays. It's not designed to compete with Zoom or Teams for daily meetings. If you run webinars regularly, it's excellent. For general meetings, look elsewhere.

Strengths

  • Purpose-built for webinars and virtual events with registration pages, landing pages, and email workflows
  • AI-powered summaries and engagement analytics for every session
  • Browser-based — no downloads needed for hosts or attendees
  • Up to 3,000 attendees on paid plans, with on-demand replay built in

Limitations

  • Expensive at $79/mo — primarily a webinar tool, not a daily meeting platform
  • Free tier is extremely limited: 10 attendees, 20-minute sessions
  • Overkill for standard internal team meetings

When to Choose Zoho Meeting

Zoho ecosystem users and budget-conscious small businesses that need reliable, affordable video meetings

Zoho Meeting is the ultimate budget pick at $1/host/mo. If you're already in the Zoho ecosystem, it integrates beautifully with CRM, Projects, and other Zoho apps. The complete lack of AI features is a significant gap in 2026, but for basic meetings at an unbeatable price, it delivers.

Strengths

  • Incredibly affordable at $1/host/mo — the cheapest paid option in our roundup
  • Deep integration with the Zoho ecosystem of 35+ business apps
  • Free tier supports 10 participants for 60-minute meetings
  • Clean, straightforward interface with low learning curve

Limitations

  • No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or intelligent automation
  • Limited functionality outside the Zoho ecosystem
  • Basic video quality and collaboration tools compared to market leaders
