ClickMeeting vs Zoho Meeting
An independent, review-free comparison compiled by the SaaSTracker editorial team. Both products are profiled in full, and neither can pay for placement here.
The short answer
Both sides assessedClickMeeting compared with Zoho Meeting
Zoho Webinar undercuts ClickMeeting dramatically, starting around 8 dollars per organizer per month annually and scaling to 5,000 attendees for roughly 66 dollars, with the whole Zoho ecosystem behind it. ClickMeeting justifies the difference through training features Zoho does not have: breakout rooms, whiteboard, certificates of attendance, and native paid ticketing. If price is the binding constraint or your stack is already Zoho, Zoho wins. If you are teaching rather than broadcasting, ClickMeeting earns the premium.
Zoho Meeting compared with ClickMeeting
ClickMeeting costs several times more and justifies it with training features Zoho does not have in webinars: breakout rooms, whiteboard, certificates of attendance, and native paid ticketing through Stripe and PayPal. Zoho counters with dramatically lower cost, higher attendee ceilings, and native CRM integration. Training and course businesses should pay for ClickMeeting; everyone else buying on price should take Zoho.
Choose ClickMeeting if
Training companies, course providers, educators, and small European businesses who need live and automated webinars in one predictable subscription, want breakout rooms and certificates rather than sales funnels, and value explicit GDPR handling and multilingual support.
Choose Zoho Meeting if
Small businesses and startups already running Zoho CRM, Zoho Campaigns, or Zoho One who need real webinar capability at the lowest credible price, plus price-sensitive teams anywhere who value attendee capacity and reporting over interface polish.

| Setup time | An hour to a first live webinar. Creating the event, branding the registration page, and configuring reminders is straightforward. Setting up paid ticketing through Stripe or PayPal and configuring certificates adds another hour but only needs doing once. | Under an hour if you already have a Zoho account, since the webinar console sits inside the same admin surface. From a cold start, add time for account provisioning and organization setup, which is Zoho-wide rather than webinar-specific. |
| Learning curve | Low to moderate. The room is browser-based and the presenter controls are conventional. Breakout rooms and the whiteboard reward a practice run before you use them with a real audience, and the distinction between webinar mode and meeting mode confuses new users at first. | Low. The console is conventional and the presenter controls are unsurprising. The genuinely confusing part is Zoho's own product structure: understanding what is Zoho Meeting, what is Zoho Webinar, which edition gates which feature, and what you may already own through Zoho One takes longer than learning the software. |

Strengths and limitations
ClickMeeting
Strengths
- Breakout rooms and a whiteboard in a webinar platform, which makes genuine training and workshop delivery possible rather than approximated.
- Certificates of attendance generated automatically, a differentiator that training providers need and that most marketing-oriented competitors ignore entirely.
- Live and automated webinars plus online meetings in one subscription, so a small business may not need a separate video conferencing tool at all.
- Native paid webinars through PayPal and Stripe from the registration page, without a third-party checkout.
Limitations
- Recording storage is metered at six or ten hours and extra hours cost money, where GoTo Webinar includes unlimited recording even on its cheapest plan.
- Attendee tiers are hard caps with no overage path, so a session that outgrows the plan turns real registrants away at the door.
- Pricing is region-localised and displayed in local currency, which makes it needlessly hard to compare against American competitors on a like-for-like basis.
- CRM integration is broad but shallow; there are no deep native Salesforce or Marketo objects of the kind GoTo Webinar and Livestorm provide.
Zoho Meeting
Strengths
- By far the lowest price per attendee seat in the category, with a 5,000-attendee edition at roughly 66 dollars per organizer per month that has no comparable competitor.
- Native Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integration with no connector, so registration and attendance become CRM records automatically for the very large number of small businesses already on Zoho.
- A genuinely permanent free tier for both meetings and webinars, letting a business prove the format at zero cost before spending anything.
- Meetings and webinars in one product and one account, so a small business may not need a separate video conferencing subscription at all.
Limitations
- The room and registration experience are plain and dated next to Demio, Livestorm, or Contrast, which matters if the webinar is a brand moment.
- Integration depth outside Zoho's own products is shallow, so a Salesforce or Marketo shop gets little of the value that justifies the price.
- On-demand webinars are the only evergreen format and they are locked to the Enterprise edition, with no just-in-time scheduling or funnel machinery anywhere.
- Breakout rooms are a meetings feature rather than a webinar feature, so structured training delivery inside a webinar is not supported.
Pricing compared
ClickMeeting
Two plan families, Live and Automated, each sold at a chosen attendee tier of 50, 100, 200, 500, or 1,000. The attendee tier is the main price driver; automation is the main feature gate.
- Free trial$0
- LiveFrom about $32
- AutomatedFrom about $45, roughly $99 at 100 attendees and $199 at 500
- EnterpriseCustom
ClickMeeting is priced sensibly for what it is: a complete live-and-automated webinar platform with training features, at roughly the same money as Demio and considerably less than GoTo Webinar at the small end. The Automated plan at around 99 dollars a month for a 100-attendee room including breakout rooms, whiteboard, certificates, paid ticketing, and on-demand webinars is a lot of capability for the price, and the meetings mode means you may not need a separate video tool. Where it loses is on recording storage, which is metered where competitors include it, and on add-ons for parallel events that feel like they should be standard. If you are a training or education business, it is one of the best-value options in this category. If you are a demand generation team who will live in Salesforce reports, GoTo Webinar or Livestorm give you more of what you actually use.
Zoho Meeting
Per-organizer subscription across Free, Standard, Professional, and Enterprise editions, with an attendee tier selected within each edition. Meetings and webinars are priced separately but share one account.
- Free$0
- StandardFrom about $8 per organizer (annual), around $9 monthly
- ProfessionalFrom about $16 per organizer (annual), around $19 monthly
- EnterpriseUp to about $66 per organizer
On price per attendee seat, nothing in this category is close. A 500-attendee webinar licence on Zoho costs a fraction of GoTo Webinar Standard at 99 dollars or Demio Growth at around 164, and the 5,000-attendee Enterprise edition at roughly 66 dollars per organizer is an order of magnitude cheaper than equivalent capacity anywhere else. That value is real and it is why Zoho keeps winning small-business evaluations on spreadsheet comparisons. What the spreadsheet does not capture is that the room is plainer, the evergreen story is thin and gated to Enterprise, breakouts are not a webinar feature, and the integration advantage evaporates the moment your CRM is not Zoho. If you are in the Zoho ecosystem, this is close to free money. If you are not, treat the price as a discount for a less polished product rather than a free lunch.
Editorial verdict on each
ClickMeeting
ClickMeeting is the webinar platform to buy when you are teaching rather than selling. Breakout rooms, a whiteboard, certificates of attendance, chat translation, paid ticketing, and a meetings mode in the same subscription add up to a genuinely coherent tool for training companies, course providers, and educators, and the Automated plan gives you live and evergreen webinars from one bill at a price Demio and GoTo Webinar do not beat at the small end. The weaknesses are consistent and worth pricing in: recording storage metered in hours where competitors include it, parallel events sold as an add-on, a hard attendee cap that turns registrants away, simulcasting limited to Facebook and YouTube, and CRM integration that is wide rather than deep. European buyers get an added benefit in explicit GDPR handling and EU data processing from a fifteen-year-old independent vendor. American demand generation teams should look at GoTo Webinar or Livestorm first; almost anyone running structured training online should shortlist this.

Best ValueZoho Meeting wins webinar evaluations on arithmetic and loses them on feel. A 500-attendee licence for a fraction of what GoTo Webinar or Demio charge, a 5,000-attendee edition at roughly 66 dollars per organizer, meetings included, 24-hour sessions, a permanent free tier, and native Zoho CRM sync with no connector make it the cheapest credible webinar platform a small business can buy. The costs are a plain room, evergreen capability that barely exists and is locked to Enterprise, breakouts that live on the meetings side rather than in webinars, YouTube as the only simulcast destination, and metered recording storage. The real decision is not about webinars at all: if your business already runs on Zoho, this is close to free capability and you should turn it on today. If it does not, you are choosing a less polished product to save money, which is a perfectly rational trade as long as you make it deliberately.
