What Livestorm does

Livestorm is a browser-based video engagement platform founded in 2016 and headquartered in Lyon, France, with a US office in Claymont, Delaware. The platform enables organizations to host, register for, and analyze live, on-demand, and automated webinars as well as larger virtual events of up to 3,000 attendees, with no software download required for hosts or participants. Core products include Livestorm Webinars (live, on-demand, automated), Virtual Events, Restreaming, and a suite of AI features (AI Studio, AI Content Repurposing, AI Captions, AI Transcripts, AI Live Translations), complemented by a REST API, Plugin SDK, and Livestorm MCP integration for AI systems.

The platform is differentiated primarily by its EU-hosted infrastructure (AWS Ireland), ISO 27001 certification, and GDPR-by-design compliance, which the company positions against US-headquartered competitors in regulated verticals such as healthcare (NHS, Beckman Coulter), finance, and government. It supports more than 1,000 integrations with native connectors for Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, and Pardot, plus Zapier's 3,000-app ecosystem, enabling automated attendee-to-CRM data flows. Customers span SaaS, advertising, healthcare, fintech, HR, and education, with named enterprise users including Intercom, Notion, Airtable, Verizon, Dolby, WPP, McCann, ElevenLabs, Ramp, and Pipedrive.

Livestorm operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a freemium self-serve PLG funnel (no credit card, under-3-minute onboarding) with a dedicated enterprise field sales motion. Revenue is generated through tiered SaaS subscriptions (Free, Business, custom-priced Enterprise with multi-year contracts), enterprise add-ons (Restreaming, Multiple Workspaces, Increased API Quota), and paid AI feature modules. The company has raised approximately $39.2 million across disclosed rounds through 2020, was co-founded and is led by CEO Gilles Bertaux, employs 101–250 people, and acquired Qlip in May 2026 to extend its video content capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Zoom (Zoom Events & Zoom Webinars): Zoom's Events and Webinars products offer direct webinar functionality as part of a much larger UCaaS suite. Comparable to Livestorm because both sell to marketing and sales teams running large-scale online events, but Zoom's bundled go-to-market and global scale give it broad incumbent advantages.

Direct peers

• ON24: ON24 is a publicly traded webinar and virtual event platform serving B2B marketing, sales, and customer success teams with analytics-rich experiences. Highly comparable to Livestorm in target persona (enterprise marketing), use cases (lead generation webinars), and pricing model, though ON24 skews larger in attendee scale and enterprise data depth.
• GoToWebinar (LogMeIn / GoTo): GoToWebinar is one of the longest-standing dedicated webinar platforms, competing head-to-head with Livestorm for marketing-led webinars and virtual events. Directly comparable product, persona, and use cases, with a broader legacy install base but a more dated browser experience.
• Goldcast: Goldcast is a B2B-focused webinar and virtual events platform targeting marketing teams with content repurposing and event-driven demand generation. Closely comparable to Livestorm in target persona, AI-led content strategy, and mid-market to enterprise positioning.
• Hubilo: Hubilo is a webinar and virtual events platform purpose-built for B2B marketers, with strong community and engagement features. Directly comparable product and target persona to Livestorm, particularly in mid-market and enterprise marketing demand-gen motions.
• Demio: Demio is a browser-based webinar platform marketed to marketers and educators, with a similar no-downloads-required approach and freemium entry point. Highly comparable to Livestorm on technology approach, ease-of-use positioning, and SMB-to-mid-market customer profile.
• BigMarker: BigMarker is a customizable webinar and virtual event platform with strong enterprise features, including custom-branded event hubs and AI-powered tools. Comparable to Livestorm in persona (B2B marketing and enterprise), pricing model, and feature breadth around engagement and analytics.
• Crowdcast: Crowdcast is a browser-based live events platform for creators, educators, and communities, with interactive Q&A and replays. Comparable to Livestorm in browser-native architecture and PLG motion, though Crowdcast skews more toward creator and community use cases than enterprise marketing.
• Hopin: Hopin is a virtual and hybrid events platform with multi-session conferences, networking, and event marketing capabilities. Comparable to Livestorm on virtual events functionality and target use cases (online conferences, summits), though Hopin is positioned for larger flagship events and conferences.
