How we picked

Every tool here is published on Toolradar with an editorial score of 74 or above, out of 36 tracked in this category. Ordering follows that score, then third-party review volume, so a tool with one glowing review does not outrank one with a thousand. The figures update as the catalog does.

FAQ

How many webinar tools are there?

We track 36 published webinar tools, of which 11 clear our editorial bar. 31 were added during 2026, which reflects when we indexed them rather than when each vendor launched.

Are there free webinar tools?

Fewer than you might expect: 13 of 36 offer a free tier, 36%. This is a category where the serious options are paid, and free tiers are trials in practice.

How should I shortlist?

Start from the constraint that will not move: budget, an existing stack you must integrate with, or a compliance requirement. Filter on that first, then compare the two or three that survive. Ranking by feature count leads to the most expensive tool every time.
