Livestorm

Browser-first European webinar leader with GDPR-native architecture.

By Livestorm SAS · Founded 2016 · Paris, France · private

Livestorm is the European browser-based webinar leader, founded 2016 in Paris. The product covers webinars, multi-session events, recurring training programs, and on-demand content with a strong focus on browser-based attendance and GDPR-native data handling. Strengths: browser-first attendance experience (no install required), GDPR-native architecture (data residency in EU by default), strong fit for European and cross-border programs, modern UX, founder-led culture, multilingual interface and support. Best fit for European-anchored marketing teams and global teams running cross-border programs requiring GDPR-first data handling. Trade-offs: smaller installed base in North America, MAP integration depth below ON24 (though the major MAPs are covered), feature depth for very large enterprise events below ON24 / Webex Events, and pricing scales aggressively above mid-market.

Best for

European-anchored marketing teams (50-2,000 employees) and global teams running cross-border webinars and training programs requiring GDPR-first data handling.

Worst for

US-only enterprise marketing teams (ON24 / Goldcast better), buyers wanting deepest MAP integration (ON24 better), or organizations already on Zoom (Zoom Events lower friction).
