Comparison

Presentr vs GoToWebinar: which fits an evergreen-webinar workflow?

GoToWebinar is a long-standing, reliable live-webinar tool widely used in enterprise and training. It's live-first — automated webinars are only available on its higher Pro and Enterprise tiers, and it has no AI chat. Presentr is AI-first and evergreen-only, from £29/month with real AI chat. Here's an honest comparison.

When GoToWebinar is the better choice

  • You run live webinars and want a proven, enterprise-trusted platform (4.5/5 from 2,000+ Capterra reviews).
  • Reliability and large live audiences matter more than evergreen automation.
  • You're standardised on GoTo's ecosystem for meetings and training.
  • You need mature live Q&A, polls and handouts out of the box.

When Presentr wins

  • You want automated, evergreen webinars without paying for GoToWebinar's higher Pro/Enterprise tiers.
  • You want real AI chat that answers attendees — GoToWebinar has live Q&A but no AI chat.
  • You want AI-personalised follow-ups and a lower entry price (£29/mo).
  • You're UK-based and want UK hosting with GDPR by default.
