The Attendee Limit Problem
Most webinar platforms use a tiered pricing model based on attendee count. This creates a perverse incentive: the more successful your webinar, the more you pay.
If you're running automated webinars 24/7, attendee counts add up fast. A webinar that gets 100 registrations per day hits 3,000/month — putting you in the expensive enterprise tier on most platforms.

The True Cost of Attendee Limits
Let's calculate what you'd pay over 3 years as your webinar grows from 100 to 1,000 monthly attendees:
| Platform | Year 1 (100/mo) | Year 2 (500/mo) | Year 3 (1,000/mo) | 3-Year Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WebinarKit (LTD) | One-time payment | One-time LTD | ||
| WebinarKit ($79/mo) | $948 | $948 | $948 | $2,844 |
| Demio | $708 | $1,188 | $2,388 | $4,284 |
| GoToWebinar | $588 | $1,188 | $2,388 | $4,164 |
| Livestorm | $1,188 | $1,788 | $3,588 | $6,564 |
| Zoom Webinars | $948 | $948 | $1,788 | $3,684 |
WebinarKit's flat pricing saves $1,320-$3,720 over 3 years compared to tiered competitors — and that's before considering the lifetime deal option which eliminates monthly costs entirely.
Why Unlimited Matters for Automated Webinars
Attendee limits hit hardest on evergreen webinars that run 24/7. Here's why:
- Multiple daily sessions — Just-in-time scheduling means sessions every 15 minutes
- Cumulative attendance — 50 attendees × 6 sessions/day = 9,000/month
- Replay viewers — Replay strategies add additional attendee volume
- Scaling = paying more — On capped platforms, your costs explode as marketing works
With WebinarKit, scaling from 100 to 10,000 monthly attendees costs the same — zero extra.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which webinar platforms offer unlimited attendees?
WebinarKit is the only major platform offering truly unlimited attendees on all plans, including the lifetime deal. Most competitors cap attendees and charge more for higher limits.
How much do webinar platforms charge per attendee?
Platforms like Demio, GoToWebinar, and Livestorm use tiered pricing based on attendee count. Costs range from $49/month (100 attendees) to $599/month (3,000+ attendees). WebinarKit charges a flat $79/month regardless of attendees.
Do attendee limits apply to automated webinars?
Yes — most platforms count attendees across all sessions (live and automated). This means automated webinars running 24/7 can hit caps quickly. WebinarKit's unlimited model eliminates this concern.
What's the cheapest webinar platform for large audiences?
WebinarKit at $79/month (or lifetime deal) with unlimited attendees. For 1,000+ monthly attendees, it's 50-75% cheaper than tiered competitors.
