Demio review: $63 a month for Starter, two tiers quoted
Demio is a marketing tool that happens to run webinars, and only its entry tier carries a published price. Our check of demio.com on 1 October 2026 recorded Starter at $63 a month, or $45 billed annually, with Growth and Premium quoted and a 14-day trial that needs no card.
The short answer
Buy Demio Buy Demio Starter if your webinars exist to sell something and you need to see who watched and who dropped off. Starter was $63 a month, or $45 billed annually, when we checked demio.com/pricing on 1 October 2026, which is $756 or $540 across a year.
Skip it if you want to try a webinar before paying for one. Livestorm keeps a permanent free plan with a 10-registrant limit, verified 1 October 2026, and Demio offers a 14-day trial and nothing else.
Where Demio fits
Demio fits the person whose webinar has a checkout at the end of it. Registration pages, email reminders and drop-off analytics are the point, and they are the things a video conferencing tool does not give you however many people it seats. The webinar is a step in a funnel here, and the reporting is built around that assumption.
The published rate card stops after one tier. Our 1 October 2026 check recorded Starter at $63 a month, or $45 billed annually, with Growth and Premium both quoted. The same check recorded an annual Premium rate of $196 a month, which is the only number attached to an otherwise custom tier.
Starter at $63 a month is $756 across a year. The annual rate of $45 a month is $540 across the same year, so prepaying saved $216 on our check. Premium's recorded annual rate of $196 a month is $2,352 across a year, which is the top of what Demio publishes in any form.
The attendee caps do more work than the prices. Starter is the tight tier, and a session that outgrows its ceiling moves you to a quoted plan rather than to another published rate. Budget for the quote, not for the $63. A platform that publishes one price out of three is asking you to start a conversation, and the conversation is where your real number is set.
Automated webinars, which is the feature course sellers come for, are not on Starter. Recording one strong session and letting it replay on a schedule sits on the Growth tier, and Growth has no published price, so the feature you want may not be the price you read.
Against the field Demio is mid-priced and marketing-heavy. Crowdcast was $49 a month on Lite, verified 1 October 2026, and sells tickets natively instead. Livestorm prices Pro at €2.50 per attendee on the same check date, so its bill follows turnout, and WebinarJam was $49 a month on Starter, also verified 1 October 2026.
This pricing was verified on 1 October 2026 against demio.com/pricing, which makes it current, and the figures above are what Demio published that day. Two of the three tiers were quoted then and will not match any figure here. The webinar platforms category holds the alternatives, and our guide to choosing a webinar platform starts with what the webinar is for.
Demio pricing
Demio prices in flat monthly tiers with attendee caps and no per-attendee billing. The figures below come from our check of demio.com/pricing on 1 October 2026.
| Plan | Price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $63/mo | $45/mo billed annually. Live events only, the tightest attendee cap |
| Growth | Custom | Quoted. The tier that carries automated webinars |
| Premium | Custom | Quoted, with an annual rate of $196/mo recorded on the same check |
| Trial | $0 for 14 days | All plans, no credit card required, capped at 20 attendees |
Two of three tiers are quoted, so a conversation decides most bills. Five things set the number:
- Attendee cap. Demio's tiers are separated by how many people can be in the room, and Starter at $63 a month is the smallest.
- Whether you need automated webinars. That feature sits on Growth, which had no published price on our 1 October 2026 check.
- Host count, because the tiers are built around hosts and a second presenter is a cost rather than a setting.
- Billing period. Starter was $63 monthly against $45 billed annually, which is $756 or $540 across a year, a $216 difference.
- Where you land above Starter. The only upper-tier figure we recorded was Premium's annual rate of $196 a month, or $2,352 across a year.
Demio pricing against the other webinar platforms
Demio's $63 a month sits above the cheapest flat rates in this category and well below the top. Crowdcast was $49 a month on Lite and WebinarJam $49 a month on Starter, both verified 1 October 2026. Airmeet was $199 a month on Premium Webinars on the same date, and Livestorm charges €2.50 per attendee on Pro, also verified 1 October 2026. BigMarker publishes no price on any tier, verified 1 October 2026, so it sits outside a price comparison entirely.
Demio billing terms worth knowing
The trial is generous on access and tight on headcount, which is the detail to plan around.
- Starter
- $63 per month, or $45 billed annually. $756 or $540 across a year.
- Annual saving on Starter
- $216 across a year, from $63 against $45 a month.
- Growth
- Quoted. Carries automated webinars, no published rate on our check.
- Premium
- Quoted, with an annual rate of $196 a month recorded, or $2,352 a year.
- Trial
- 14 days on all plans, no card required, capped at 20 attendees.
- Free plan
- None. The trial is the only way to test without paying.
- Check date
- 1 October 2026, against demio.com/pricing.
Demio publishes one price and quotes the rest, so the honest way to budget is to decide whether you need automated webinars before you read the rate card. If you do, the $63 figure is not your price. Our creator tool cost calculators will total the stack once the quote arrives.
What Demio gives up
You give up a free plan. The 14-day trial caps at 20 attendees, so a real marketing webinar cannot be run inside it, and Livestorm keeps a permanent free plan with a 10-registrant and 20-minute limit, verified 1 October 2026, if free is what you need.
The Starter attendee cap is tight, and it is the reason most buyers move up. Outgrowing it does not move you to another published price; it moves you to a quote, because Growth and Premium were both custom on our 1 October 2026 check.
Automated webinars are gated above Starter. A course seller who wants an evergreen funnel is buying Growth, not the $63 tier, and EverWebinar sells that single job at $249 a year on its annual plan, as recorded on 13 June 2026, four months ago.
Video quality is good rather than best in class. For a platform whose whole pitch is the attendee experience, that matters, and it is the complaint most often raised against the browser-based approach.
Pricing is built around hosts, so a second or third presenter adds cost rather than a setting. A small team that shares webinar duties should price the seats before the tier, because the published $63 covers the account you start with rather than the one you end up needing.
Two of three tiers carry no published price, which makes an honest comparison with the rest of the category impossible above Starter. Crowdcast publishes all three of its rates, verified 1 October 2026, and that transparency is worth something at budget time.
Nothing scales down. A month with no webinars costs the same $63 as a month with eight, so an irregular calendar is better served by Livestorm at €2.50 per attendee, verified 1 October 2026.
How Demio compares
The four platforms below are the ones weighed against Demio, and the axis is marketing depth against the cost of entry. Every price is the vendor's own published rate with the date we checked it, and those dates differ, so read them with that in mind. The wider field sits in the webinar platforms category.
| Tool | Best for | Price | Where it breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Demio | Webinars that exist to sell something | $63/mo Starter (October 2026) | No free plan, and automated webinars sit on a quoted tier |
| Livestorm | A free start and a bill that follows turnout | €2.50 per attendee on Pro (October 2026) | Free plan stops at 10 registrants and 20 minutes |
| Crowdcast | Selling tickets to a recurring live series | $49/mo Lite (October 2026) | No automated webinars and no free plan |
| WebinarJam | Live launch webinars at a low entry price | $49/mo Starter (October 2026) | Evergreen replay is a separate product |
What to test in the Demio 14-day trial
The trial ran 14 days on all plans with no card required and a 20-attendee ceiling on our 1 October 2026 check. That ceiling is what shapes the test.
- Confirm the trial length and attendee ceiling on demio.com/pricing before you start. Ours were recorded on 1 October 2026.
- Build one registration page and send it to a real list. Demio's claim is conversion, so the page and the reminders are the product.
- Run a session with 20 people, which is the trial ceiling, and read the drop-off report afterwards rather than the attendance count.
- Decide now whether you need automated webinars, because that feature is on the quoted Growth tier and not on Starter at $63 a month.
- Ask for the Growth and Premium quotes during the trial. The only upper-tier figure we recorded was Premium at $196 a month billed annually.
- Check your real attendee peak against the Starter cap. The cap, not the price, is what moves people up a tier.
- Price the alternatives on the same session. Crowdcast was $49 a month on Lite and Livestorm €2.50 per attendee, both verified 1 October 2026, and our cost calculators will total a year.
Demio questions buyers ask
How much does Demio cost per month?
Our check of demio.com/pricing on 1 October 2026 recorded Starter at $63 a month, or $45 a month billed annually, which is $756 against $540 across a year, a difference of $216. Growth and Premium were both custom-quoted on that check, with one figure attached: Premium at $196 a month billed annually, or $2,352 across a year. Automated webinars sit on Growth rather than Starter, so the published $63 is not the price for that feature.
Does Demio have a free plan or free trial?
No free plan, but our 1 October 2026 check recorded a 14-day free trial on all plans with no credit card required and a 20-attendee ceiling. That is enough to test the platform on a small event and not enough for a real marketing webinar. If you want a free webinar tool to experiment with, Livestorm keeps a permanent free plan, which our check of its pricing on 1 October 2026 recorded as 10 registrants and 20-minute sessions, and Crowdcast offers a 14-day trial instead.
Who is Demio best for?
Demio is built for creators and marketers who use webinars as a sales and marketing channel (not just for meetings). Course creators running evergreen funnels, coaches doing weekly live trainings, and SaaS teams running product demos get the most value. If you just need to host an occasional presentation or team call, Zoom or Google Meet are cheaper and simpler.
Demio vs Livestorm: which is better?
Demio is more marketing-focused with stronger automated webinars, built-in registration pages, and deeper email marketing integrations. Livestorm has better video quality, a free plan, unlimited moderators on Pro, and a more polished interface. Choose Demio if you're running sales funnels and need conversion tracking. Choose Livestorm if you prioritize video quality, GDPR compliance, or need a free starting point.
What does Demio integrate with?
Demio has native integrations with ActiveCampaign, Kit (ConvertKit), Mailchimp, Drip, Keap, AWeber, GetResponse, Ontraport, and HubSpot. Everything else connects through Zapier or Demio's open API. For creators, the most important integrations are the email marketing ones: registration and engagement data flows directly into your email sequences for automated follow-up.
Is Demio good for selling online courses?
Yes: it's one of the most popular webinar platforms among course creators specifically because of its automated webinar feature. You can record your best sales webinar once, set it to replay on a schedule, and include timed CTAs that link to your course checkout. The engagement analytics show you exactly where people drop off, so you can improve your pitch.
Do attendees need to download anything to join a Demio webinar?
No. Demio is fully browser-based. Attendees click a link and join directly in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge, including on mobile devices. No app downloads, no plugins, no software updates. This is one of Demio's biggest advantages and a major reason show-up rates tend to be higher than platforms that require downloads.
Can I run automated webinars on Demio?
Automated webinars let you pre-record a session and replay it on a schedule with simulated live elements: timed polls, CTAs, and chat interaction. The Starter plan only supports live events. If automated webinars are your main use case, make sure you budget for Growth, not Starter.
Is Demio worth the money?
If you run webinars regularly as part of your marketing or sales process, Demio's combination of zero-download attendee experience, marketing analytics, and automated webinar quality justifies the price. If you only run occasional one-off webinars, the cost is hard to justify: especially without a free plan. Calculate your cost per webinar and compare against alternatives before committing to annual billing.
Can I cancel Demio anytime?
Monthly plans can be canceled anytime. You keep access through the end of your billing period. Annual plans are paid upfront for the full year, so while you can cancel the renewal, you won't get a prorated refund for unused months. Start with a monthly plan if you're not sure about long-term use, even though it costs more per month than the annual rate.
