Zoom Webinars, GoToWebinar, and Demio pricing varies by team size — choose based on headcount, not features

~$80-340/moZoom Webinars

All three tools serve the same category. The wrong pick means paying for complexity you don't use — or outgrowing simplicity too fast.

Monthly cost comparison

Zoom Webinars: ~$80-340/mo — the default for existing Zoom users

Zoom Webinars is an add-on to Zoom Meetings at roughly $80-340/mo depending on attendee capacity (500-1,000 attendees). It's the right choice when you already use Zoom for meetings and want a familiar platform for larger events. The attendee experience is identical to Zoom — which reduces technical support burden — and the host controls (mute all, raise hand, Q&A) are robust. The trade-off is marketing features: Zoom Webinars has basic registration pages and email reminders, but lacks the marketing automation, replay hosting, and funnel analytics of dedicated webinar platforms. Zoom Webinars is the wrong choice when webinars are a core lead-generation channel and you need sophisticated nurture workflows.

GoToWebinar: ~$100-400/mo — the legacy enterprise choice

GoToWebinar is priced at roughly $100-400/mo and is the oldest platform of the three, with a reputation for reliability and enterprise features. It's the right choice when you need large events (1,000+ attendees), advanced polling and survey tools, and integration with CRM systems for lead follow-up. The trade-off is dated user experience: the interface feels legacy compared to modern alternatives, and the registration pages and attendee emails are less customizable. GoToWebinar is the wrong choice when webinar production quality and branding matter — the platform is functional but not beautiful. It's also overkill for audiences under 100 people.

For teams under 50, paying $100-400/mo for GoToWebinar means spending significant money on features you may never use — evaluate whether the complexity is actually earning its keep.

Demio: ~$100-250/mo — the modern, marketing-native option

Demio is the newest platform of the three at roughly $100-250/mo, built specifically for marketers who use webinars as a lead-generation and nurture tool. Demio is the right choice when you need automated webinars (pre-recorded content that plays on a schedule), sophisticated registration funnels, replay hosting with analytics, and integration with marketing automation platforms (HubSpot, Marketo, ActiveCampaign). The interface is modern and clean, and the attendee experience is closer to a Netflix stream than a video conference. The trade-off is that Demio's live interaction features (Q&A, polls, screen sharing) are lighter than Zoom's or GoToWebinar's. Demio is the wrong choice when you need heavy live interaction, large audiences, or complex production setups.

The right platform depends on your actual team size and workflow complexity — match the tool to your headcount, not to marketing promises.

You run fewer than 6 webinars per year with under 50 attendees: you may not need a dedicated webinar platform — Zoom Meetings with registration links may be sufficient.
