BigMarker vs Livestorm

BigMarker logovsLivestorm logo
BigMarker is a quote-priced platform for webinars, hybrid and in-person events. Livestorm is a browser webinar tool with a free plan, attendee-based pricing and EU hosting. Livestorm suits most small teams.

The verdict

For a small B2B team that runs webinars regularly and uses HubSpot or Salesforce, I'd pick Livestorm. You can test it on the free plan, and the EU hosting helps if you sell in Europe. If you also run in-person or hybrid events and want one platform for the whole programme, pick BigMarker.

Watch how each one charges. Livestorm uses attendee credits, so a bigger audience raises the cost and a bigger team does not. BigMarker has no public prices, so go in with attendee numbers, host count and formats. Livestorm's API and MCP server need switching on through support.

Who each is for

BigMarker logo

Choose BigMarker if…

Pick Livestorm if webinars are a repeat channel, registrants should flow into HubSpot or Salesforce, and you care where attendee data is stored. It lists native links to HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo and Pardot, plus Zapier. A webinar that works live can run again on autopilot.

The free plan is small, so treat it as a way to test the room and registration flow. The Pro plan caps session length, so check it against your longest training. Cost follows attendee credits, including people who watch the replay. Skip it if you only run a few sessions a year or need in-person events.

Choose Livestorm if…

Pick BigMarker if events are a channel for you and you run live, on-demand and in-person formats. It suits marketing teams, associations and training organisations that need registration, engagement and attendee data in one place.

It has on-demand and learning hubs with classes, assessments and certificates, and an API for managing events from your own systems. Plans are quoted and renew yearly, and API access, single sign-on and white-label domains sit on enterprise tiers. It is built for people who run events as a job, so a solo marketer may find it heavy.
