Livestorm vs Demio
Livestorm sells a yearly pack of attendee credits and is run by a company registered in Lyon. Demio sells per-host tiers by room size, has no free plan, and its controller is Banzai International in the United States. The real choice is a credit meter against a fixed monthly host fee.
