Which platform is the best?
Take a look at this side by side comparison and see for yourself.
At EasyWebinar, we understand that picking a webinar platform for your business is a big decision and not one you should take lightly. When picking a webinar platform, you want to make sure to choose one that is easy to use, powerful, affordable, and doesn’t make you jump through hoops to stay in your zone of genius! The last thing you want is to waste time waiting for access to the platform and the features you need. Enter the EasyWebinar vs GoToWebinar comparison. Take a look at what both platforms have to offer to determine which is right for you.
Free Trial
At EasyWebinar, we’re focused on making the webinar experience EASY! Right from the start we remove any barriers between you and getting started with a free 7-day trial. With just 3 clicks you can be on your way to setting up your first event or even going live.
GoToWebinar also offers a free trial, however, it is only for 7 days and in order to access it you must fill out a contact form and wait for a sales representative to contact you. We know busy entrepreneurs, course creators, and coaches need access to the tools and features they need when they need it….not at the convenience of a sales team.
Packages & Attendees
Both EasyWebinar and GoToWebinar offer a set number of attendees based on the tier you choose. Additionally, both of our base packages include 100 simultaneous attendees. However, with GoToWebinar you are only allowed to broadcast to Webcast, not a webinar, limiting the engagement and interaction with your attendees. In the next tier up, and for a lower price annually, EasyWebinar opens the door to 500 attendees, where GoToWebinar limits you to 250.
Power Webinars
At EasyWebinar, we obsess over automated webinars, as they allow you to scale your business without doing more work. But our obsession doesn't end there, we take it one step further by offering Power Webinars. Power Webinars allow you to personalize and customize your automated webinars so they are relevant to your audience and motivates them to take action now!
GoToWebinar offers “Simulated Live” webinars which allow you to share your pre-recorded webinars, but they’re lacking all the features that make pre-recorded webinars a game-changer for growing your business.

Live Streaming Options with YouTube & Facebook Integration
EasyWebinar has gone all-in with live streaming as we understand the power of social media and making it easy for your audience to watch your event. With our Live Engine, you get no-delay, high definition streaming. Even more amazing, EasyWebinar integrates seamlessly with social media platforms. At any point during your event, you can click one button and immediately stream live to YouTube, Facebook, or both. This allows you to create multi-camera professional events, scale to unlimited attendees, and build your social following all at the same time. GoToWebinar does not offer any live social media integrations.
