What is the difference between webinar software and video conferencing?
Video conferencing is built for meetings where everyone talks. Webinar software is built for presenting to an audience: attendees register, watch, and interact through chat, Q&A and polls, while only presenters are on camera. Webinar tools add registration pages, reminders, offers and reports that meeting apps don't have. Some, including Flaxxa Webinar, do both.

How is webinar software priced?
Most platforms charge monthly or yearly, and the price rises with one or more of: the number of live attendees, the number of hosts, the length of sessions, and features such as automated webinars, streaming to other platforms, CRM integrations and AI. Some charge per attendee instead.
Work out the cost at the audience size you expect in a year, not today. Flaxxa Webinar is part of Flaxxa's plans; the pricing page shows each plan's limits.
