Livestorm Review (2026)
Growth tools only earn their keep if they move a real number — leads, conversions or revenue — not just activity. So where does Livestorm actually fit? Most people land here while weighing it against Zoom Webinars, so that is the comparison this review keeps coming back to: does it do the job you actually need, without charging you for the parts you don't?

What Livestorm does
Browser-based webinars with registration, automated emails, polls and analytics. There is no plan price: Pro sells attendee credits at €2.50 each, bought a year up front, and one credit is spent per unique participant per session — a four-part series to 200 people costs 800 credits.
Pricing (2026)
(2026-08-01, read on their own pricing page) There is no plan price. Pro is sold as attendee credits at €2.50 each, bought annually up front, with sessions up to 4 hours and unlimited team members. Enterprise is quote-only with sessions up to 12 hours. Their own definition: one attendee credit is used for each unique participant, per session, over a 12-month period, and team members are not counted. The page shows a slider with 400 credits as an example but does not display the total, and states no minimum purchase. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
What the pricing page doesn’t say
This is a bet on attendance that you place a year in advance. You buy credits up front at €2.50 each, and a credit is spent per unique participant per session — so a four-part series to the same 200 people is 800 credits, not 200, which is €2,000. A webinar that does better than expected runs you out; one nobody attends still cost you nothing back. The page will not show you a total: the slider moves but the price does not appear until you engage. Before you commit, count sessions times expected attendees for the whole year, and ask what happens to unused credits at the twelve-month mark, because the page does not say.
What buyers report about Livestorm
Recurring themes from G2, Capterra, GetApp and Research.com, read in August 2026. We have not run Livestorm ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
- • Browser-based with no download for attendees — that removes the single biggest friction point in running a webinar, and reviewers name it first.
- • All-in-one registration, hosting and follow-up in one tool.
- • Pricing is by active contacts, not attendees. Pro includes 100; a webinar with 200 registrants means buying extra contact packs, and that scales fast.
- • Real usage lands at $99-$299+ a month against Zoom at $15 — reviewers make that comparison directly.
- • Essential features are paid add-ons, which is why the total comes in above expectations.
- • The free plan is 30 attendees and 20 minutes. Branding and email customisation are limited.
The natural comparison is Zoom Webinars or Demio — the usual alternatives — both price per host per month, so compare that against your credits divided across a year. Weigh it against Zoom Webinars on the job you actually need done.

The ex-banker filter — the same yardstick on every review (how we review): My ex-banker filter is simple: does Livestorm remove a real cost — time, errors, missed revenue — bigger than what it charges? If the job above is genuinely yours, it's worth a look. We never publish fake or “exclusive” prices, so always confirm the current plan on their site.
Frequently asked questions
Is Livestorm worth it for a small team?
It depends on whether you have the bottleneck it solves. Small teams get the most out of this category when one clear problem is already costing real hours or revenue; buying ahead of that just adds cost and another login. Price it against the hours or lost deals it removes, not against its feature list, and start on the smallest plan that covers the job.
Who should not use Livestorm?
Skip it if your webinar schedule is irregular or experimental, because paying a year ahead for attendance you cannot forecast is the wrong shape; a per-month platform is safer while you find out what works. Buying a tool to fix a problem you don't have yet just adds cost and another login to manage.
