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.
