The short answer: Livestorm is built for webinars from registration to CRM sync, with a simpler workflow for events of up to 3,000 attendees, while BigMarker is a broad virtual event suite for very large, sales-led deployments.
Why teams switch: they want to launch webinars quickly, without dedicated event staff or an enterprise contract.
The short answer: Livestorm publishes prices you can buy online and charges only for the attendees who join, while BigMarker prices every plan by custom quote.
Why teams switch: they want to see a price and start today, then pay only for who shows up.
Livestorm prices as of September 2026 (see Livestorm pricing). BigMarker does not publish list prices. AI Studio, which turns replays into clips, is a paid add-on.
