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 Whereby
Freelancers, consultants, and small teams that want the simplest possible meeting experience with zero friction
Whereby is the anti-Zoom — it strips video meetings down to the absolute essentials. Permanent room links mean zero scheduling friction, and the no-download approach is genuinely delightful. The lack of AI features and limited scalability make it unsuitable for larger teams, but for small, informal meetings, nothing is simpler.
Strengths
- Simplest meeting experience — permanent room links, no downloads, no accounts needed for guests
- Embedded API for developers who want to add video to their own apps
- Beautiful, minimalist interface designed for quick, informal meetings
- Free tier includes unlimited 1-on-1 meetings and up to 4 participants in group calls
Limitations
- No AI features — no transcription, summaries, or noise cancellation
- Limited to 200 participants even on the highest plan
- Basic collaboration tools — no breakout rooms or advanced features
