The short answer: Livestorm puts webinars and virtual events in one browser-based product, while Webex splits its offer between Webex Webinars and Webex Events inside a wider Cisco collaboration suite.
Why teams switch: they want a focused webinar tool for marketing, with data landing in HubSpot natively, rather than a module inside a large collaboration suite.
The short answer: Livestorm charges only for the attendees who join, while Webex sells Webex Webinars per license per year, by attendee tier.
Why teams switch: they stop paying for yearly licenses and pay only for who shows up.
Prices as of September 2026, from each vendor's pricing page (see Livestorm pricing). AI Studio, which turns replays into clips, is a paid add-on.
