The Verdict
Livestorm is built for marketers and sales teams, with a focus on webinars and virtual-events. Zoho Meeting targets zoho users and small businesses and leads with video-meetings and webinars.
On pricing, Zoho Meeting is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $1.5/mo compared to $99/mo for Livestorm. That $97.5/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Livestorm edges out on user ratings (4.4 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Livestorm has a slight overall edge — but if very affordable pricing matters most to you, Zoho Meeting may still be the right call.
