There are a large array of webinar platforms to choose from. In my constant quest for the best products I believe Demio is the best webinar software available on the market today.
Demio is somewhat of a new comer to the scene and was founded two web marketers in 2014. They were frustrated with the other options available and this how Demio was born.
Currently Demio is rated our best webinar platform.

Demio Pricing
- Starter — $49/month ($34/month yearly)
- Growth — $99/month ($69/month yearly)
- Business — $234/month ($163/month yearly)
If you purchase annually you save 30% on the monthly fees. If you are looking for automated events and custom form fields the ‘Growth’ plan is your best option. If you want multiple hosts (up to 4) and Marketo integration Demio’s ‘Business’ plan is your best option.
The ‘Growth’ plan removes any references to the Demio branding.
At their lowest plan (Starter) Demio allows for a 3-hour session limit, which should be more than enough but for the longest webinar.
You can try Demio for free with their 14-day trial.

Demio’s direct integrations are only email service providers. If you don’t see your mailing list provider on the list, they do support integration via Zapier as well.
Email Marketing Providers

If you are looking for other types of integrations (ie. shopping cart) then you will either have to use Zapier to do this custom develop connectivity via their API.
