Before we dive into the list, let's do a brief review of Livestorm's features and pricing. --- ## Livestorm Review Livestorm is a video engagement platform that can be used to [host webinars](/content/learn/host-webinar/index.html) or virtual events. They’re a French company that provides an easy-to-use and intuitive platform and primarily works with small European businesses. They are slowly pivoting toward a video-conferencing positioning, with fewer and fewer features being released designed for the webinar use case. Livestorm covers all the basic webinar needs with a relatively modern UI (chat, polls, Q&A, registration pages, automated and branded emails) - and more functionalities can be added through their app marketplace. This adds complexity as you have to look through their marketplace to make your webinar look great. Some Livestorm users have been unhappy with the quality of their CRM integrations, especially HubSpot. This forces their clients to set up custom integrations to allow their sales and marketing teams to leverage the data. However, basic means little customization is possible, from the landing pages, to emails, to the video itself. ### Pricing [Livestorm's pricing](https://livestorm.co/pricing) is based on active contacts: a unique person (external registrant or team member) who registered or joined one, or several, of your events. These start at: - €99 /month for < 100 active contacts - €198 /month for < 200 active contacts - €495 /month for < 500 active contacts They also offer a free plan for <30 active contacts and only 20 minutes per session. All plans come with unlimited team members, and sessions up to 4 hours. Pricing is not available for plans above 500 active contacts, if you need to extend max session duration to 12 hours, or if you need Marketo or Pardot integrations. --- ## 10 Best Livestorm Alternatives in 2026 ### 1.
