Discover a better experience for your attendees and less stress for your team.
The short answer: ON24 is deeper on marketing branding and engagement data, while Microsoft Teams is stronger on reach inside an organization.
Engagement and branding. Both offer Q&A, polls and reactions. ON24 adds branded consoles, personalization and an on-demand content hub, while Teams Enterprise gained meeting themes and email customization on April 1, 2026.
Why it matters: ON24 still leads on external, marketing-facing events and turns engagement into lead data. If your CRM is Dynamics, Teams connects natively, but ON24 is the one designed to move webinar engagement data into marketing and sales systems.
The short answer: ON24 sells custom annual quotes through enterprise sales, while Microsoft Teams is priced per user and bundled with Microsoft 365.
Which is cheaper for you: If you already pay for Microsoft 365 and mostly run internal events, Teams usually adds little or no cost.
Prices as of September 2026. Livestorm is shown as an alternative that charges only for the attendees who join (see Livestorm pricing).
| Pricing | ON24 | Microsoft Teams | Livestorm |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | Annual contract based on event volume and audience size | Microsoft 365 user licenses; Teams Premium adds advanced branding | Attendees who actually join |
| Entry price | Quote only; third-party estimates of about $25,000 to $100,000+ per year | Webinars from Microsoft 365 Business Standard: $14 per user/month, paid yearly | $3.00 per attendee (400-credit annual pack) |
| Larger audiences | Custom Essentials, Standard and Advanced packages; larger events on request | Business Premium at $22 per user/month; town halls up to 10,000 viewers, more with the paid Attendee Capacity Pack | Lower price per attendee on bigger packs, up to 3,000 live attendees per event, custom Enterprise plan |
| No-shows and team members | Contract set upfront, whoever shows up | Attendees are free; you pay for every licensed user | Not counted |
ON24 is a dedicated enterprise webinar platform for B2B marketing, with branding, a content hub and engagement analytics. Microsoft Teams is a collaboration suite bundled with Microsoft 365, where webinars and town halls suit internal events.
ON24 uses custom annual quotes with no public list pricing. Microsoft Teams is priced per user within Microsoft 365, and Teams Enterprise has included advanced webinar and town hall features since April 1, 2026.
Cvent completed its acquisition of ON24 on April 1, 2026, and ON24 now operates as part of Cvent's event and engagement portfolio.
Not natively. Teams syncs natively with Dynamics 365, and HubSpot or Salesforce connect through third-party connectors.
Livestorm is browser-based, hosts up to 3,000 live attendees and costs $3.00 per attendee on its entry pack (as of September 2026), with native HubSpot sync on every plan and Salesforce as an Enterprise add-on.
Plan, promote, host and analyze your webinars in one place. Build branded registration pages, send automated reminder and follow-up emails, and engage attendees with polls, Q&A and live CTAs, with no extra tools.
After the event, attendance and engagement data flow to your CRM, and AI Studio turns replays into short clips for your social channels.
Livestorm runs straight from the browser on any desktop or mobile device, so your audience can join from anywhere without downloading or installing anything.
Removing that extra step helps attendance: on Livestorm, 47.7% of registrants show up live on average (2026 Webinar Benchmark Report, 33,786 webinars analyzed).
Connect Livestorm to Claude with its verified connector, or to any AI agent that supports MCP, to create events, register attendees and analyze engagement in plain language.
Add-ons take it further: AI Studio turns every replay into short clips, and live translations show real-time AI subtitles in your attendees' language.
