How to choose

How many attendees can the platform support?

Check audience capacity against the size of your town hall. The board compares this limit, so you can check whether a platform fits the event you plan to run.

Can attendees ask questions and vote in polls?

Look for moderated Q&A and live polls if your event needs managed questions or audience voting. The board compares both features.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a service that supports the devices your attendees use. Available platform types include web, iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows; an API is listed as a platform option too.

How should attendees sign in?

Compare attendee authentication and single sign-on if access controls or a shared sign-in matter for your event. The board lists both as separate criteria.

Can I try it before paying?

Check whether a free plan or a free trial is available, then compare the paid starting price. Pricing may be available on request rather than as a listed price.

Does it record events, and how long can they run?

Check event recording and maximum event length against your plans. These are separate comparison points, so confirm both before choosing.
