Airmeet vs ClickMeeting

Airmeet is a platform for webinars and virtual, hybrid and in-person events, founded in August 2019 and led by CEO Lalit Mangal, with its engineering roots in Bengaluru. It grew during the 2020 shift to online events, raised a $35M Series B after its Series A, and says more than 4,000 organizations have used it. Its core job is running branded events where attendees do more than watch a stage: they network, visit booths and talk at tables.

The event toolkit covers registration pages, ticketing, a backstage for speakers, multi-track sessions, polls and Q&A, plus Social Lounge tables, Speed Networking, Fluid Space and exhibitor booths. Airstudio handles streaming and recording, and AI tools (Airgenie for summaries and content, Airshots for clips) repurpose sessions afterwards. Pricing is attendee-based: Premium Webinars is self-serve, while Events, Managed Events and the Agency plan are quoted.

Airmeet fits marketing teams, associations and agencies that run recurring webinars plus a few larger community events per year. It is less suited to simple one-off meetings, and Premium Webinars streams at 720p with 1080p as a paid add-on. Livestorm is simpler for browser-only webinars, Zoom Events wins where Zoom is already standard, and Hopin's event product now lives inside RingCentral Events.

Buying tip: plans are billed on actual attendees, not registrations. If attendance exceeds your bundle, extra people are still admitted and billed after the event on a pay-as-you-go basis, so model your show-up rate and pre-buy attendee bundles before a big launch.

ClickMeeting is a webinar and online meeting platform based in Gdańsk, Poland. It started around 2011 inside the email marketing company GetResponse and became an independent company in 2016. It reports more than 15 million users a year and is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Its core job is to run live, on-demand and automated webinars in the browser, with no download needed for attendees, plus the registration, payments and follow-up around them.

Features include registration pages, polls and surveys, screen sharing, breakout rooms, recording, AI transcription, certificates, paid webinars with Stripe or PayPal checkout and discount codes, and streaming to YouTube and Facebook. Plans are priced by attendee count: Live covers real-time events in tiers from 50 to 1,000 attendees, Automated adds pre-recorded webinars that run on a schedule with automatic reminders and follow-ups, and Enterprise supports events up to 10,000 viewers. There is a 14-day free trial for 25 attendees.

ClickMeeting fits trainers, educators, SaaS marketers and small businesses that want a reliable, easy webinar tool with built-in monetization. It is less suited to large hybrid conferences or deep marketing automation. GoTo Webinar is the long-time enterprise standard, Livestorm offers a more modern event workflow with stronger CRM sync, and Demio or WebinarJam focus on marketing-driven evergreen funnels.

Buying tip: price tiers jump with attendee count (Live is $48 for 50 attendees but $335 for 1,000 monthly), so pick the tier that matches your typical live audience and save up to 20% with annual billing.
