Webinar software costs from nothing to a few hundred dollars a month, and what moves the bill is how each vendor counts your audience: by the size of room you might fill, by each person who attends, or by the hours they watch. Below are 9 vendors people shop between, each priced from its own pricing page as checked October 2026, and one of ours, disclosed. Where a vendor's page did not show a price, we say so rather than guess.
Disclosure: we make Drry, which runs webinars inside a coach's own community and bills the audience by the hours it watches. It is priced last, with the arithmetic shown, including where it is not the cheapest. Choosing on features rather than price? Our best webinar platforms guide covers that side.

Restream. A multistreaming tool: free with Restream branding on two channels, then Standard $19, Professional $49 and Business $239 a month billed monthly, with 20% off for annual billing. It sends a live stream to several platforms at once rather than running registration and replays.
Demio. Starter is $63 a month billed monthly, or $45 billed annually, for 50 attendees and a single host. The larger plans price per host with attendee tiers from 150 to 3,000, and the free trial is fourteen days, capped at 20 attendees and one-hour sessions.

Where Drry fits, priced honestly
Drry runs webinars inside the same community your members log into, on the Growth plan at $99 a month, with 150 viewer hours included. A viewer hour is one person watching for an hour. Past the allowance nothing bills unless you switch extra usage on and set a cap, up to $300 a month; then it is $0.15 a viewer hour, and it stops at your cap. One broadcast admits up to 10,000 viewers, and at the highest cap a month can carry up to about 2,150 viewer hours. The price also covers the community, courses and email.
The honest reading: for a single webinar with nothing else to run, a dedicated tool or Zoom is often cheaper. Drry earns its price when the webinar feeds a community, a course or a membership you would otherwise pay for separately, because the registration list, the replay and the offer afterwards all land in the same place.
