In the age of COVID, webinars are of course hot. Instead of having conferences or face-to-face meetups, events are being held online and virtually. Before 2020, webinar software was already big, now most online businesses could use webinar software in some capacity.
My list is ordered based upon their respective ratings.

1. Demio
Larry's Take
Demio is a browser-based webinar tool that streams in HD video. Compared to some of its competitors, Demio has a more polished look that may help with conversions. The biggest limitation for me is that I can't host Demio webinars on the same domain as my brand. Overall, I find Demio to be the best option for creating live and automated webinars.

2. WebinarJam
Larry's Take
WebinarJam is one of the cheapest webinar platforms for live events. If you want to automate your webinars, you must purchase their sister service EverWebinar, which can make their product more costly compared to some of the other options available. WebinarJam does what it does and does it well. Though some of the public interfaces appear a little dated and the quality of the webinar video isn't the best.

3. EasyWebinar
Larry's Take
EasyWebinar is a capable live and automated webinar service. The company has created webinar courses to help you fully utilize the product. If you are new to creating webinars, you'll find EasyWebinar does more hand-holding than the other services. This might be a good reason for choosing EasyWebinar over the competition.

4. ClickMeeting
Larry's Take
The pricing of ClickMeeting is pretty good and one of the cheapest webinar platforms. The biggest limitation with ClickMeeting is their lack of integrations. Yes, you can use Zapier but would prefer a tighter integration with more email marketing software.

5. Livestorm
Larry's Take
Livestorm is an up and coming webinar and messaging service. The great part of their service is the free options currently available. Their automated webinars seem to lack the flexibility to trigger events unlike other options available. Though for me lacks the ability to integrate with many popular email services.

6. EverWebinar
Larry's Take
The sister service to WebinarJam, EverWebinar allows you to create automated webinars. EverWebinar was one of the first platforms to allow evergreen webinars, meaning you don't have to perform live for each event. It supports live and pre-recorded chat that you can mix together. With EverWebinar, you can pretty much do exactly the same things as you can with a live webinar.

7. WebinarNinja
Larry's Take
WebinarNinja is a web-based only webinar software for live, automated, series, or hybrid webinars. Unlike others, WebinarNinja allows you to create hybrid webinars giving you the advantages of both pre-recorded and live webinars.

8. Stealth Seminar
Larry's Take
Stealth Seminar is one of the newer webinar companies. They support live and hybrid webinars. Unfortunately, their webinars appear more generic-looking pages and the chat is very simplistic. Stealth is browser-based and does not require an app to view on desktop more smartphones. The primary reason why you would consider Stealth Seminar is for their automation webinars.

9. Zoom Video Webinar
Larry's Take
Zoom Video Webinar service is really targeting existing customers or for large live virtual conferences or mastermind groups. If you are looking for a tool that can be used as part of your sales funnel, I would suggest to look elsewhere. Zoom lacks most of the functionality to promote a product and cannot automate a webinar.

10. GoToWebinar
Larry's Take
The granddaddy webinar service and it shows. Your visitors must download and install their software to view your webinar. For that alone, I don't recommend using their software as it causes too much friction for your attendees. Though if you are looking to host large (over 5,000) attendee events GoToWebinar is the service of choice because they are one of the few that can handle large events.
