Zoom Webinar Pricing Structure 2026
Zoom Webinars uses a unique pricing model — it's an add-on to Zoom Meetings, not a standalone product. You need both to host webinars.
Step 1: Zoom Meetings Pro Base Plan
Required: $13.33/month (annually) or $15.99/month (monthly). This is the base Zoom Meetings plan you need before adding webinar capabilities.
Step 2: Webinar Add-On Pricing (by capacity)
| Attendee Capacity | Monthly Price | Annual Price (per month) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 attendees | $79/mo | $79/mo |
| 1,000 attendees | $165/mo | $165/mo |
| 3,000 attendees | $290/mo | $290/mo |
| 5,000 attendees | $475/mo | $475/mo |
| 10,000 attendees | $1,095/mo | $1,095/mo |
| 50,000 attendees | $6,490/mo | $6,490/mo |
True minimum cost: $92.33/month ($1,108/year) for 500 attendees.
What Zoom's Price Doesn't Include
Gap #1: Zero Automated Webinar Support
Zoom Webinars is live-only. No evergreen funnels, no simulated-live replays, no automated webinars. Every single session requires someone to be live.
Gap #2: No Sales or Marketing Features
No timed offers, no urgency elements, no sales scripts, no offer pages. Zoom is designed for meetings and presentations — not for selling.
Gap #3: No Email/SMS Automation
No built-in email sequences, no SMS reminders, no follow-up automation. You need an entire separate marketing stack.
Gap #4: No Custom Branding
Every Zoom Webinar looks like Zoom. No white-label, limited registration page customization, and the Zoom branding is always present.

Is Zoom Webinars Worth the Price?
Zoom works if:
- Your organization already uses Zoom for everything
- You need 10,000-50,000 attendee capacity
- Webinars are for internal training, not marketing
Zoom is overpriced for marketing if:
- You use webinars to generate revenue
- You need automated/evergreen webinar funnels
- You want built-in sales and marketing tools
- Budget is a consideration
