Airmeet vs Demio

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.

Demio is a webinar platform designed for marketing teams that measure webinars by leads and pipeline rather than by production value. Owned by Banzai, a US marketing technology company that acquired it in 2021, Demio runs entirely in the browser, so attendees join without downloads or plugins, which noticeably improves show-up rates for B2B audiences.

The feature set is built around conversion. Branded registration pages and reminder emails drive attendance; inside the room, hosts use polls, handouts, featured actions and timed calls to action that push viewers to book a demo or buy. Webinars can run live, as automated replays of recorded sessions, or as series with multiple dates, and every session produces engagement analytics showing who attended, how long they stayed and which actions they clicked. Native integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, ActiveCampaign and Zapier send that data to marketing automation for scoring and follow-up. Plans (Starter, Growth and Premium) are priced by attendee capacity and features such as automated events and advanced customization.

Demio suits SMB and mid-market marketing teams running regular lead-generation webinars, product demos and partner sessions. It is less suited to large all-hands meetings, hybrid conferences or heavily produced broadcasts. Livestorm is the closest browser-based competitor with a broader feature set for customer success and internal events, Zoom Webinars handles very large audiences on familiar infrastructure, and ON24 serves enterprises with deep analytics and much higher budgets.
