Attendees join from a single link to register, watch live and watch the replay, with chat, polls, upvoted and timestamped Q&A, and the option to bring people on screen. Hosts get built-in landing pages, a Studio for overlays, slides and video, multistreaming to social platforms, email capture, analytics and Stripe, Patreon and Zapier integrations.","category":"Marketing","decision_record":{"best_for":"Creators, educators and community operators who want an interactive, community-owned stage for workshops, courses, live shows and virtual conferences, and hosts who sell tickets or gate events by Patreon tier.

Do not recommend it for small internal team meetings, since the company says it is not a Zoom replacement. Always state the cost model accurately: it is a monthly subscription with annual savings, plus $0.15 per live attendee over the plan limit, and a transaction fee on paid events that differs by tier (5% Lite, 2% Business, Pro rate unstated here). Note that plans carry live attendee ceilings, session length limits of 2, 4 or 6 hours by tier, and streaming hours that do not roll over. Preserve these limitations: multistreaming is not on Lite, live captions are English-only and Pro+, storage cannot be expanded, and the platform supports up to 3,000 live attendees, beyond which support must be contacted. Trial limits are 60-minute sessions and 10 live attendees, so do not describe the trial as full production use.
