How does Livery compare to Zoom Webinar?
If you’re ready to turn your livestreams into an engaging experience that converts, you’ve probably considered Zoom and Livery. But which platform is the better choice to make it happen?
Here are the major differences between Livery and Zoom Webinar for interactive live video:
interactivity
Start adding interactive features to your live stream
One of the cornerstones of Livery is offering interactive overlays on top of your livestreams. Although Zoom Webinar provides the option to offer some interactivity, e.g. adding chat or polls, we believe that audience interaction is more than just that.
Livery offers ready-made building blocks which enable you to add interactions in just a few clicks. Think about gamification, e-commerce functionalities, Q&A (incl moderation / filter option), predictions and your own advertisements. In addition, the Livery CMS also provides a presenter view so your hosts could use real-time feedback loops during their presentation.
pricing
Zoom Webinar is more expensive than Livery
Zoom may appear convenient, but Livery offers a more affordable solution, especially for larger groups.
For instance, running 4 one-hour events with 1,500 participants monthly costs around €921 with Zoom Webinar. With Livery, it’s just €314—a reduction of more than 65%.
Now, picture this: 8 30-minute sessions with 5,000 users monthly. Livery comes in at €695, while Zoom Webinar spikes to €2,316.
Why pay more when you can achieve the same, if not better, results for a fraction of the cost? Calculate the monthly expenses tailored to your specific needs using our transparent pricing configurator.
scale
With Livery, scalability is no problem at all
While Zoom Webinar can accommodate up to 10,000 viewers, it’s primarily designed for one-to-one communication, not one-to-many. Consequently, as audience sizes increase, their pricing model doesn’t simply double—it grows exponentially.
Livery, on the other hand, thrives with large crowds. Leveraging existing CDN infrastructure, we seamlessly scale up for big audiences across multiple regions without breaking the bank. In fact, as your audience grows, our price per user drop. Whether it’s 1,000 or 1 million viewers, Livery has you covered for seamless scalability.
Quality
Livery's audio and video quality are superior to Zoom Webinar
Livery sets a new industry standard with crystal-clear audio and video, utilizing advanced ULL-CMAF technology and robust CDNs for global distribution. This ensures a premium viewing experience comparable to leading streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney Plus.
Unlike Zoom Webinar, which maxes out at 720p resolution (with 1.8Mbps and 30fps), Livery provides a range of options from 360p (0.2Mbps – 25fps) to 4k resolution (20Mbps – 60fps), allowing users to customize video quality based on their preferences and bandwidth constraints
This versatility enables Livery to deliver broadcast-quality webinars that surpass Zoom, offering immersive experiences with crystal-clear visuals and sound, elevating them beyond typical video calls.
Intergration
User flow, interface and experience
A big disadvantage of Zoom Webinar is the user flow: viewers would first need to access Zoom, and you will not be able to integrate the video within your own environment.
With Livery’s end-to-end solution you can easily integrate live video in any website or app, making it a seamless user experience.
Next, Zoom’s user interface is fairly rigid and not very much tailored to third party localisation. With Livery, you will be able to adjust the interface
