Is Livestorm worth the price?
Good value for marketing teams running recurring webinars with many hosts, since team members cost nothing, and for events of up to 3,000 live attendees. It gets expensive for small teams on a tight budget, which reviewers call out, and for anyone whose attendance is hard to predict, because running out of credits blocks new attendees.
Worth it if
- Marketing teams running recurring webinars with unlimited team members.
- Events up to 3,000 live attendees.
Look elsewhere if
- Small teams on a tight budget (reviewers call pricing steep)
- Teams needing deep branding customization on lower tiers.
Pricing details most reviews leave out
- Billing counts unique attendees per session over 12 months, not hosts.
- Hitting the credit quota blocks new attendees until you upgrade tier.
- SAML SSO is a paid add-on.
- Event length capped at 4 hours on Pro.
Our verdict on Livestorm
Livestorm prices by attendees, not by host. Pro starts at EUR 2.50 per attendee, sold as a yearly credit pack, and Enterprise is quote only. Team members are free, so a large marketing team does not raise the bill; a large audience does. The vendor publishes prices in EUR only, and third-party sites quote about USD 3 per attendee, which the vendor has not confirmed.
A credit is used per unique participant per session over 12 months, and when the quota runs out, new attendees cannot join until you upgrade. G2 gives Livestorm 4.4 from 1,730 reviews, with praise for polls and joining in the browser, and complaints that it is pricey for small teams. Treat it as good value only if you can forecast attendance.
