Livestorm and Demio are both strong browser-based webinar platforms, but they've developed in meaningfully different directions. Livestorm has evolved into a full video engagement platform — it handles live webinars, on-demand video content, and internal video meetings in one subscription. If you want to replace multiple tools (webinar software, meeting software, on-demand video hosting) with a single platform, Livestorm's Pro plan at $79/mo is a compelling consolidation play. Demio has stayed focused on one thing: helping marketing teams run conversion-optimised live and automated webinars that generate leads and pipeline. If webinars are your primary marketing channel and you want the best conversion analytics and attendee experience in the category, Demio is the stronger specialist.
Livestorm offers a permanently free plan — 20-minute sessions, up to 30 attendees — that lets you test the platform indefinitely without a credit card. Demio offers a 14-day free trial on all paid plans. Neither forces you into a blind commitment. The pricing gap at entry level is meaningful: Livestorm's free plan covers small-scale use cases at zero cost, while Demio's lowest paid tier starts at $59/mo for 50 attendees.
This comparison is based on hands-on testing of both platforms for live webinar marketing, including registration flows, host controls, analytics dashboards, and integration depth.

Livestorm is a French-founded video engagement platform that positions itself as a unified solution for webinars, online events, and internal video meetings. Its free plan supports unlimited events at up to 20 minutes each with a maximum of 30 attendees — enough for small demos and test events. The Pro plan at $79/mo lifts session duration to 4 hours and supports up to 100 attendees. The Business plan at $279/mo supports larger events and adds advanced analytics, custom landing pages, CRM integrations, and priority support. Livestorm runs fully in-browser with no downloads. It supports live webinars, on-demand replay, automated webinars, and virtual meetings — making it one of the more versatile video platforms in the creator and B2B space.
Demio is a browser-based webinar platform that has built its reputation on delivering a premium attendee experience and conversion-focused marketing analytics. Founded in 2015, it now operates under the Banzai platform. The Starter plan at $59/mo supports 50 attendees. Growth at $109/mo supports 150 attendees and adds automated webinars and series. Premium at $184/mo supports 500 attendees with enhanced analytics and priority support. A 14-day free trial is included on all paid plans. Demio specialises in live and automated webinars only — it doesn't include internal meeting or on-demand video functionality like Livestorm. Its strengths are in registration page quality, attendee experience, post-event analytics, and the reliability of its automated webinar engine.
Choose Livestorm when you need a single video platform to handle webinars, on-demand content, and internal meetings — and when consolidating your video stack is a meaningful operational or budget priority. The free plan is also unmatched for testing the platform with real audiences before committing to a paid tier. Livestorm is particularly well-suited for B2B SaaS companies that run customer onboarding webinars, product demos, and all-hands meetings alongside public marketing events, and want everything logged in one system.
Choose Demio when live and automated webinars are your primary marketing channel and conversion performance is the metric you care most about. If you're running regular lead-generation webinars, measuring registration-to-attendance rates, and iterating on your funnel, Demio's conversion analytics and automated webinar engine provide better infrastructure for a webinar-first strategy. The 14-day free trial makes it the lower-risk entry point for teams who want to test conversion performance before committing to a monthly subscription.

The most significant feature difference is platform scope. Livestorm covers webinars, on-demand video, and video meetings — three use cases that businesses typically pay for separately. If your team currently uses Zoom for meetings, a separate webinar tool, and another platform for on-demand content, Livestorm's Business plan could replace all three. Demio covers webinars only — live and automated — with no meeting or on-demand video capability. For a company whose video strategy extends beyond webinars, Livestorm is the more efficient consolidation. For a marketing team where webinars are the singular focus, Demio's specialist depth provides better conversion infrastructure.
On analytics, Demio has a stronger conversion-marketing focus. Its event reports track registration page conversion rate, email link click rates, attendance duration, poll responses, and engagement scores — giving marketing teams the data to attribute pipeline to specific webinar activities. Livestorm's analytics cover attendance, engagement, and device breakdowns but are less oriented toward conversion funnel measurement. Both platforms integrate with major CRMs and email tools, though Livestorm's HubSpot and Salesforce integrations on the Business plan are deeper than Demio's. For teams running demand generation webinars where MQL attribution matters, Demio's analytics model is more directly actionable.
Livestorm has a generous free plan that supports unlimited events with sessions up to 20 minutes and a maximum of 30 attendees. This is permanently free — no trial expiry, no credit card required. The Pro plan at $79/mo lifts session duration to 4 hours with up to 100 attendees and adds custom email workflows, polls, Q&A, and integrations with Mailchimp and Zapier. The Business plan at $279/mo removes active attendee limits on most features, adds CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pipedrive), custom landing pages, advanced analytics, and dedicated support. Enterprise pricing is available for larger organisations with custom compliance and security requirements.
Demio does not have a free plan but provides a 14-day free trial on all paid tiers. The Starter plan at $59/mo supports 50 attendees for live webinars. The Growth plan at $109/mo adds 150 attendees, automated webinars, event series, and Zapier integration. The Premium plan at $184/mo expands to 500 attendees with advanced analytics, API access, and priority support. Monthly billing is available on all tiers, giving Demio more flexibility than WebinarJam's annual-only model. For a direct comparison at 100 attendees, Livestorm Pro ($79/mo) and Demio Growth ($109/mo) are the closest equivalents — Livestorm is slightly cheaper, but Demio Growth includes automated webinars and superior conversion analytics.
Livestorm onboarding is smooth for teams comfortable with video tools. The platform walks you through creating your first event, configuring your registration page, and setting up email reminders in an intuitive setup flow. Because it runs entirely in-browser, there's no host software to install. Connecting HubSpot or Salesforce requires admin access to those platforms and 30-60 minutes of initial configuration on the Business plan. On-demand content can be uploaded directly to Livestorm's media library after events. Day-to-day operations involve scheduling events, monitoring registrations in the dashboard, and reviewing post-event analytics. Teams also use Livestorm's virtual meeting feature for internal standups and customer calls, reducing tool-switching.
Demio's setup process is similarly fast and guided. New users configure their first event through a step-by-step wizard, connect their email platform via native integration or Zapier, and set up automated reminder emails within the platform. Automated webinar setup requires uploading a recorded session, configuring scheduled run times, and setting up follow-up sequences — typically 1-2 hours of setup for the first automated event. The analytics dashboard is available immediately after each event and requires no additional configuration. Demio's integrations with HubSpot and ActiveCampaign on the Growth plan allow for automatic tagging, contact creation, and pipeline updates based on webinar attendance and engagement.
Livestorm vs Demio is a shortlist-stage decision page meant to help creators move from general research into a clearer tool choice.
Livestorm and Demio usually stay on the shortlist for different reasons. Use this page to see where one product fits the current workflow more cleanly, where the tradeoffs start to matter, and which differences deserve more pressure-testing before the team treats either option as the default choice.
For B2B marketing teams and creator businesses that want to consolidate their video stack — webinars, on-demand content, and internal video meetings in one platform — Livestorm's Business plan at $279/mo or Pro at $79/mo is the smarter choice. The free plan also makes Livestorm the best risk-free entry point in this comparison: you can run real events with up to 30 attendees indefinitely before spending a dollar. Teams already using HubSpot or Salesforce will particularly benefit from Livestorm's native CRM integrations on the Business tier.
For marketing teams who run webinars as their primary lead-generation and pipeline channel — and who measure their webinar program against conversion metrics like registration rate, attendance rate, and MQL attribution — Demio's Growth plan at $109/mo is the better specialist tool. The automated webinar engine is more full-featured than Livestorm's at comparable price points, the conversion analytics are more actionable, and the attendee experience is more polished. Start with the 14-day free trial, run your first live event, and compare the analytics output against your current platform.
Use these questions to determine which platform matches your team's actual workflow:
Do you need a single platform for webinars, internal video meetings, and on-demand content — or do you only need webinar functionality and are willing to use separate tools for meetings?
How many attendees do you typically drive to a live webinar, and does that number exceed Livestorm Pro's 100-attendee cap or Demio's 500-attendee Premium ceiling?
Is conversion analytics — registration rate, attendance rate, engagement scoring, and pipeline attribution — a core measurement requirement, or do you primarily need event delivery and basic attendance reporting?
Are you EU-based or subject to GDPR requirements that would favour Livestorm's European hosting over Demio's infrastructure?
Would the Livestorm free plan (20-minute sessions, 30 attendees) be sufficient to validate your webinar strategy before committing to a paid tier?
Yes, Livestorm offers a permanently free plan with unlimited events — sessions are capped at 20 minutes with a maximum of 30 active attendees. No credit card is required. This makes Livestorm the most accessible entry point in this comparison for testing the platform with real audiences before committing to the Pro plan at $79/mo or Business at $279/mo.
Livestorm Pro at $79/mo supports up to 100 active attendees per session, with sessions up to 4 hours long. If you need more than 100 attendees, the Business plan at $279/mo is required. Demio Growth at $109/mo supports 150 attendees — slightly more capacity at a slightly higher price — and also includes automated webinars and stronger conversion analytics.
Demio is better for automated webinars. Automated webinar functionality is included in Demio's Growth plan at $109/mo with a polished scheduling engine and follow-up automation. Livestorm supports on-demand video and some automated event features, but its automated webinar tooling is less purpose-built than Demio's dedicated automated webinar engine.
Yes, Livestorm is GDPR-compliant. The company is headquartered in France and hosts its infrastructure within the EU, making it a strong choice for European organisations with strict data residency requirements. Livestorm provides DPA (Data Processing Agreement) documentation and has designed its product with European privacy law in mind, which is an advantage over US-hosted alternatives.
No, Demio is a webinar-only platform and does not include internal video meeting functionality. It is not a replacement for Zoom or Google Meet for team meetings. Livestorm, by contrast, supports internal video meetings alongside webinars, making it a potential Zoom replacement for teams that primarily need meeting and webinar functionality without advanced enterprise collaboration features.
Yes, Livestorm integrates with HubSpot on the Business plan at $279/mo. The integration syncs contacts, attendance data, and engagement scores to HubSpot automatically, enabling automated follow-up workflows based on webinar behavior. Livestorm also integrates with Salesforce, Marketo, Pipedrive, Zapier, and Mailchimp across different plan tiers.
After Demio's 14-day free trial ends, your account requires an active paid subscription to keep events live and accessible. If you do not subscribe, your events are paused and registrant data is retained but inaccessible until you upgrade. Any recordings or on-demand replays are also paused. Subscribing to Starter ($59/mo) or above restores full access to your event history and data.
Demio is better for webinar lead generation due to its conversion-focused analytics and registration page design. It tracks registration page conversion rates, email click-through rates, and attendance-to-pipeline metrics that marketers need to measure and improve their webinar funnel. Livestorm's public event directory adds an organic discovery element that Demio lacks, but Demio's overall conversion infrastructure is deeper for demand generation campaigns.
Yes, Livestorm is well-suited for both live and on-demand product demos. The virtual meeting feature supports one-to-one and small-group demos, while the webinar feature supports larger demo-style events with Q&A, polls, and screen sharing. Recorded demos can be hosted as on-demand content in Livestorm's media library, making it a versatile platform for SaaS and software product teams.
For a small marketing team focused exclusively on webinars, Demio Growth at $109/mo is the better specialist choice — automated webinars, strong analytics, and a polished attendee experience in one plan. For a small team that also needs internal video meetings, Livestorm Pro at $79/mo covers more ground at a lower cost. The right answer depends on whether your team needs a webinar specialist or a broader video platform.
