EasyWebinar vs Restream
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 assessedEasyWebinar compared with Restream
Restream is a multistreaming studio: more than thirty destinations, unified cross-platform chat, and a browser production environment, with webinars as a 99-dollar-a-month add-on. EasyWebinar is a webinar platform with EasyCast multistreaming to three or ten destinations as a feature. If broadcast quality and destination reach are the point, Restream is far stronger. If registration, reminders, checkout, and lead data are the point, EasyWebinar is the right tool and its multistreaming is a bonus.
Restream compared with EasyWebinar
EasyWebinar covers live, automated, simulive, and evergreen webinars with registration pages, reminder sequences, CRM sync, and its own multistreaming from 116 dollars a month on Growth. Restream Professional plus the Webinars add-on is 148 dollars for a hundred gated attendees and none of the funnel machinery. For webinars as a marketing channel, EasyWebinar. For broadcast quality and destination reach, Restream, with EasyWebinar's multistreaming being the weaker of the two.
Choose EasyWebinar if
Course creators, coaches, agencies, and small software companies who need live and automated webinars in one subscription, sell directly from the webinar room, and would rather have registration, reminders, checkout, and lead tracking in a single tool than assemble them from four.
Choose Restream if
Marketing teams, podcasters, churches, educators, and small businesses whose live content is public and needs to be on LinkedIn and YouTube simultaneously, plus anyone who wants a polished browser-based studio with guests and overlays without learning OBS.

13 attributes| Attribute | EasyWebinar | Restream |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Webinars | Webinars |
| Starting price | $44 per month (Launch, 50 live attendees, live webinars only) (7 days trial) | $0 (Free, two destinations with branding); $19 per month for Standard (free plan available) |
| Pricing model | Monthly tiers priced on live-attendee capacity, with separate automated-viewer allowances, AI funnel credits, and feature gates on automation, CRM depth, and administration. | Subscription tiers priced primarily on the number of simultaneous destinations, with Clips and Webinars sold as separate monthly add-ons whose price depends on your base tier. |
| Free plan | No | Stream to two channels simultaneously, with Restream branding on the output. |
| Free trial | 7 days of full access on every plan | No fixed-length trial; the permanent free plan is the evaluation path |
| Best for | Course creators, coaches, agencies, and small software companies who need live and automated webinars in one subscription, sell directly from the webinar room, and would rather have registration, reminders, checkout, and lead tracking in a single tool than assemble them from four. | Marketing teams, podcasters, churches, educators, and small businesses whose live content is public and needs to be on LinkedIn and YouTube simultaneously, plus anyone who wants a polished browser-based studio with guests and overlays without learning OBS. |
| Setup time | Two to three hours for a first complete funnel. Creating the webinar and registration page is quick, especially with AI funnel generation, but configuring the reminder sequence, the offer timing, the checkout, and the CRM scoring rules is where the time goes and it is worth doing carefully once. | Twenty minutes to a first multistream. Connecting destinations is an OAuth click each, and Studio needs no configuration to produce a watchable broadcast. Building branded overlays and a repeatable show format is the part worth an afternoon. |
| Learning curve | Moderate, mostly because the product covers more ground than a pure webinar tool. Understanding the difference between live, automated, simulive, and evergreen, and how the separate live-attendee and automated-viewer allowances apply to each, takes a session. The CRM layer adds concepts a webinar buyer may not have expected to learn. | Low in Studio, moderate if you bring your own encoder. Anyone who has run a video call can produce a decent Restream broadcast on the first attempt. OBS or vMix ingest follows normal streaming conventions and is well documented. |
| Platforms | Browser-based for hosts and attendees with no download, Mobile browser support, RTMP multistreaming via EasyCast | Browser-based Restream Studio for hosts and guests, Encoder ingest from OBS, Streamlabs, vMix, and hardware encoders, iOS and Android apps, Embeddable website player (Business and above) |

Strengths and limitations
EasyWebinar
Strengths
- Live, automated, simulive, and evergreen webinars from one subscription, which is the cleanest solution to the two-product problem that WebinarJam and EverWebinar create.
- Built-in checkout inside the webinar room, so a paid session or an in-session offer does not lose people to a redirect.
- SMS reminders alongside email on every tier, which materially lifts show rates and which GoTo Webinar and Zoho do not offer at all.
- An included CRM with lead scoring, pipeline stages, and revenue attribution back to individual webinars, which almost no competitor in this category attempts.
Limitations
- The 44-dollar Launch tier is nearly unusable as a real plan: live-only, five total webinars, two-hour sessions, and no checkout or CRM.
- EasyCRM duplicates what any company with an existing CRM already has, so a meaningful part of the subscription value is inapplicable to established teams.
- SSO, SAML, and API access are locked to the 349-dollar Scale tier, forcing companies with identity requirements to buy capacity they do not need.
- No breakout rooms, whiteboard, or certificates, so training and education delivery is poorly served compared with ClickMeeting.
Restream
Strengths
- Best-in-class multistreaming, with more than thirty destinations, custom RTMP, guest channels, and per-destination health monitoring in one place.
- Unified cross-platform chat is the standout feature: merging comments from every destination into one moderated window changes how a public live show actually runs.
- Restream Studio is good enough that most businesses never need OBS, and guests join by link with nothing installed.
- A genuinely usable free plan at two destinations, plus a self-serve paid ladder from 19 dollars, so evaluation costs nothing and commitment is gradual.
Limitations
- Webinars are an add-on rather than a feature, and the resulting cost of a 500-attendee gated room, 538 dollars a month, is well above dedicated platforms with far deeper webinar functionality.
- No evergreen or automated webinar mode, no just-in-time scheduling, and no scheduled replay of a recording as a live event.
- Registration, reminders, and lead data are thin compared with any real webinar platform; there is no behavioural email sequencing and no native CRM object sync.
- The jump from Professional at 49 dollars to Business at 239 dollars is very steep for what is largely three extra destinations, two seats, and the website player.
Pricing compared
EasyWebinar
Monthly tiers priced on live-attendee capacity, with separate automated-viewer allowances, AI funnel credits, and feature gates on automation, CRM depth, and administration.
- Launch$44
- Growth$116
- Pro$198
- Scale$349
- EnterpriseCustom
Growth at 116 dollars a month is the number to judge EasyWebinar on, and at that price it is good value if you use the whole product. Live plus automated plus evergreen plus checkout plus a CRM with lead scoring plus multistreaming in one bill genuinely replaces three or four subscriptions for a solo operator or a small team. Against WebinarJam plus EverWebinar bought separately, it wins. Against Demio Growth at a similar price, the comparison is closer and comes down to whether you want a nicer room or a bundled funnel stack. The value case breaks in two places: if you already run a real CRM, half of what you are paying for is dead weight, and if you need SSO or API access you are pushed to 349 dollars regardless of your audience size. Buy it for the bundle, not for any single component.
Restream
Subscription tiers priced primarily on the number of simultaneous destinations, with Clips and Webinars sold as separate monthly add-ons whose price depends on your base tier.
- Free$0
- Standard$19
- Professional$49
- Business$239
- EnterpriseCustom
Priced as a multistreaming and production tool, Restream is very good value. Professional at 49 dollars a month for five destinations, 1080p output, 4K recording, dual horizontal and vertical streaming, and a browser studio your guests can join by link is difficult to beat, and the free plan is a real evaluation path rather than a demo. Priced as a webinar platform it is poor value: 148 dollars a month gets you a hundred gated attendees on Professional plus the add-on, which Demio, ClickMeeting, or Zoho Webinar beat outright with far more registration, reminder, and reporting capability. The correct way to read the Webinars add-on is as a convenience for a company that already lives in Restream and occasionally needs a gated version of the same production, not as a reason to choose Restream over a dedicated tool.
Editorial verdict on each
EasyWebinar
EasyWebinar's pitch is a bundle, and the bundle is the right way to judge it. Growth at 116 dollars a month gives a small business live, automated, simulive, and evergreen webinars, SMS reminders, checkout inside the room, a CRM with lead scoring and revenue attribution, and multistreaming, which genuinely replaces three or four separate subscriptions and beats buying WebinarJam and EverWebinar as a pair. Ignore the 44-dollar headline: Launch is live-only, capped at five webinars, and not a plan to run a business on. The product loses on polish, on training features it does not attempt, and on the aggressive gating of SSO and API access to the 349-dollar tier. It also loses much of its value case for any company that already runs a real CRM, because half the bundle is then duplicate. Buy it if webinars are how you sell and you want one vendor for the whole funnel. Buy Demio if the room itself is the point, or ClickMeeting if you are teaching rather than selling.
Read the full EasyWebinar profileRestream
Restream is the best answer in this category to a question most webinar tools do not ask: how do I get one live production onto every platform my audience uses, and then talk to all of them in one chat window? The browser studio is capable enough to replace OBS for most businesses, guests join by link, dual vertical output and automatic clipping match how short-form distribution actually works, and there is no attendee cap because the destination platforms carry the audience. Professional at 49 dollars a month is genuinely strong value. Just do not buy it as a webinar platform. The Webinars add-on is a 99 or 299 dollar monthly convenience for teams already living in Restream, and at 538 dollars a month for a 500-seat gated room it loses badly to GoTo Webinar, Demio, or ClickMeeting on both price and capability. Buy Restream for public broadcast and reach; buy a webinar tool for registration, reminders, and leads.
