Contrast Reviews & Product Details

We chose Contrast for our webinar strategy with a very clear goal: to reduce the friction our users were experiencing when registering for and attending live events. Before Contrast, many users would register, forget to add the event to their calendar, or struggle to join on time, which significantly impacted our attendance rates.

Contrast solved all of that, and more. The user experience is truly frictionless: registration is simple, events are seamlessly added to users’ calendars, and the platform loads quickly and reliably. As a result, our attendance rates improved noticeably.

Beyond ease of access, Contrast has helped us significantly raise the quality of our webinars. The studio features allow us to integrate polls, CTAs, and branded actions that strengthen our overall marketing and engagement strategy. On top of that, the HubSpot integration is extremely easy to set up, works flawlessly, and allows us to maintain full traceability of user activity within our CRM. Overall, we’re very happy with the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area for improvement is the experience for recurring webinars or webinar series. Currently, users need to register separately for each session, which adds unnecessary friction. We’ve temporarily solved this through HubSpot automations, but it would be great to see this functionality handled natively within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been enjoying using Contrast for hosting webinars and events because it allows for much more professional output. The branding capabilities and the ability to upload videos and slides for presenting are fantastic, and the community is loving it already. The ability to send out replay links without having to wait for recordings to finish processing is a huge plus. I also appreciate the analytics, especially since I can easily see new and returning users and see watch times at a glance — which allows us to iterate and improve on the structure of our events. Customer service is another aspect that I really like, Max has been super helpful. Being a design company, aesthetics are king, and Contrast was easy and intuitive to set up, making everything look professional quickly. The professional and scalable nature of Contrast also made it the right choice over our previous tool, Google Meets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way to toggle on/off chat during the webinar and auto-filter Q&A for spam or irrelevant topics. I would also like a way for people to subscribe to our channel so they are notified when a new event is listed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s super easy to set up webinars, whether they’re live or pre-recorded. I also love the integration with HubSpot—it’s very smooth to generate lists in HS from Contrast, for example based on registrants or replay viewers. On top of that, it has a very professional look and feel. I really like the email reminder and follow-up functionality as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only improvement I can think of is being able to push answers from the Q&A directly into the chat. I’m confident this will be addressed soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High usability, top quality for viewers and speakers, integration with HubSpot is priceless, world-class customer support in real-time and personalized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manually having to add my slides to the stream when we go live. I have forgotten it 2x already Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very easy to use, with cool features and a simple setup for both speakers and admins. The interactive tools are solid and genuinely helpful. Compared with other similar tools, it feels better overall in both quality and pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, there’s no way to change the colours of the name tags or to play music directly before the webinar starts. Both of these would be great additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contrast is incredibly user-friendly and feels really modern and sophisticated compared to other legacy webinar platforms. Everyone who touches one of our webinars is impressed with the UI and design elements, which creates that consistent "wow" factor for our audience and elevates the quality of our content without us doing anything extra. It also integrates very seamlessly with Hubspot, Zapier, and a ton of other stuff. It works fast and reliably, and makes my job as a content marketer easier. I couldn't be happier with it. Every webinar is a joy to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can even list is that a few settings or features that are included on other webinar platforms may currently be missing. However, it's always very minor or value-added stuff that I haven't missed. Contrast, as a relatively young platform, is still adding features as it grows. I love being part of that evolution and watching as the platform regularly adds new quality-of-life updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the back end experience as an admin. It's super easy and allows me to play around with and test different things. The studio is handy for practicing before going live, which makes organizing things so easy. Everything, from speakers to polls and checking on registrations, is easily accessible and managed between our team. I also appreciate the visual experience from an attendee perspective - it's engaging, nice and bright, and feels very modern, giving us that level up, especially for new audiences. The ease of toggling between views and the less clunky experience compared to previous platforms keeps the audience engaged. The platform's automatic recording features mean no one misses anything, which is great. I also value the ability to create snippets from videos easily, which is perfect for making social media teasers. The integration with HubSpot makes it easy to keep track of registrants, and with Zapier for LinkedIn promotions, registration is straightforward for attendees, and managing information is a breeze on our end.

I haven't come across anything I dislike so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Contrast daily to host webinars. I appreciate its ability to quickly disseminate information and onboard new clients and prospects. I particularly like the ease of setup and use of Contrast; the user interface is clear and concise, and the suggested cuts for shorts are relevant. The initial setup of Contrast was quick and easy.

I would like more interactivity with the live audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How intuitive it is to use. With other tools, there was a lot of manual work on getting them to work and track anything in HubSpot.It's also intuitive for the speaker experience, making everything super easy to use. It feels like a software that was made for HubSpot which is a big deal for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tthe only thing that is a little annoying is that you can only remove the branding on the enterprise plans. And the branding can be a little aggressive on the registration pages. But that's not a huge problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
