Livestorm

Livestorm lets you run webinars and online events that attendees join from a web browser, with no download for them or for your speakers, and you pay only for people who actually turn up. It suits marketing, sales, customer education and internal communications teams that run recurring sessions and want registration pages, reminder emails, replays and attendance reports in the same tool. The company behind it, Livestorm SAS, is based in Lyon and stores account data in the EU.

What it is for

You can run one session or a programme of them without switching tools. Livestorm documents four formats: live webinars, on-demand webinars that viewers start whenever they like, automated webinars that run a pre-recorded session on a schedule, and multi-session virtual events. Its use-case pages cover product demos, customer training, online conferences, company communication, onboarding and hiring sessions. Restreaming pushes a session to LinkedIn, YouTube, X or a custom destination at the same time, and RTMP input lets a production team feed in a signal from an external encoder.

Features

• Before the event. A company page, registration pages with custom fields and a registration limit, an embeddable registration widget, branded assets and room design, right-to-left text, and email cadences for confirmations, reminders and follow-ups with delivery status.
• In the room. Chat, polls, questions with upvotes and a live answer banner, emoji reactions, raise hand, file, media and link sharing, PowerPoint embedding, blurred or virtual backgrounds, noise cancellation, dial-in by phone and an iFrame embed of the stream. Live captions are listed as a beta.
• Languages. Emails, registration pages and the room come in 24 languages, Livestorm says; AI captions and transcripts cover 96, and Interprefy handles live interpretation.
• After the event. Instant replays, conversion of a live session to on-demand, contact profiles, UTM tracking, attendance and conversion rates, export of questions and chat, and general data export.
• AI tools. AI transcripts, AI content repurposing, and the paid AI Studio add-on, which picks moments from a replay and cuts them into short clips.

Plans and pricing

You only pay for people who join, so no-shows and your own team cost nothing. Paid plans are yearly packs of attendee credits. One credit is used per person per session, whether they watch live, catch the replay or view on demand; someone who watches live and then the replay of the same session counts once. Registrations do not use credits, and unused credits do not roll over at renewal.

Plan	Price	Billing	Includes
Free	€0	No card needed	30 attendee credits a year, 30-minute sessions, 10 events, 20 sessions per event
Pro, 400 credits	€1,000 ($1,200)	Per year	Shown as €2.50 per attendee; sessions up to 4 hours, unlimited events, recordings and team members, Livestorm MCP
Pro, 1,000 credits	€2,400 ($2,900)	Per year	As above; the add-ons below become available
Pro, 1,500 credits	€3,450 ($4,125)	Per year	As above

Pro, 4,000 credits	€8,000 ($9,600)	Per year	As above
Enterprise	Custom	On request	Sessions up to 12 hours, Enterprise integrations, custom analytics, dedicated customer success manager, live event shadowing, SLA

The €2.50 headline is shown on its pricing page on 31 October 2026; the tier totals come from its attendee-based pricing help article. Both Pro and Enterprise allow up to 3,000 live attendees per event. Paid add-ons are AI Studio, live translated subtitles, RTMP input, restreaming, SAML SSO and extra API calls on Pro (most need at least 1,000 credits), plus multiple workspaces and an EU or US video hosting region on Enterprise only.

Free plan and trial

You can test the full room and its premium features for as long as you like before paying anything. The free plan has no time limit, needs no credit card and gives 30 attendee credits a year, sessions of up to 30 minutes and 10 events per organisation. Editing emails and adding custom email templates are not available on it.

Integrations and API

Registrant and attendance data can flow into your CRM without CSV exports. The HubSpot integration works on every plan, including Free, according to the help centre; the Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, Microsoft Dynamics and Brevo connections are marked Enterprise only. The marketplace also lists Zapier, Make, Pipedrive, Slack, Google Sheets, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms, Typeform, Miro, Slido, Interprefy, YouTube Live, Twitch and others. There is a REST API and webhooks. The Livestorm MCP server, a remote server with OAuth sign-in, lets Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot or Cursor create events, register attendees and pull engagement data.

Deployment and platforms

Nothing needs installing for hosts or attendees, which removes the “please download the client” step from your invitations. Livestorm is a cloud service running in the browser on any device. Its legal notice names Amazon Web Services in Ireland as the host, and its help centre says data at rest sits in EU databases backed up every 24 hours. Live video is routed through Vonage servers near the first participant unless an Enterprise customer buys the EU or US region add-on. Livestorm states ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance on its features page.

Company

Livestorm SAS is registered in France (SIREN 820 434 439) at 16 rue Cuvier, Lyon; the French company register gives its creation date as 17 May 2016. Gilles Bertaux is CEO and co-founder. Its about page records a $30 million Series B in November 2020.

What to check before buying

• Count sessions, not people. A delegate who joins three sessions of one event uses three credits, so a multi-session summit can use far more credits than its headcount.
• Pro stops new attendees joining once credits run out; Enterprise allows overage instead. Size your tier for your busiest quarter, as unused credits expire at renewal.
• If you need Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, Microsoft Dynamics or Brevo, budget for Enterprise. HubSpot and Zapier are the routes on Pro.
• Restreaming, RTMP, SAML SSO and translated subtitles cost extra and mostly need a Pro tier of 1,000 credits or more.
• Pro caps sessions at 4 hours. Full-day conferences need Enterprise’s 12 hours or splitting into sessions.
• Plans renew automatically each year, cancellation after renewal is not refunded, and event data is deleted 30 days after cancellation takes effect, so export reports first.
