Great turn-key webinar platform. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Doug P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** The Ask -a-Question is a unique and VERY good feature of Crowdcast. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** It doesn't yet have the ability to easily utilyze multiple cameras. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps me grow my tribe. I grew 500 people in just a few weeks ### 3. Affordable webinar platform **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anne W. | Research Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Virtually inviting audience on the screen through chat. Their customer support is very informative and knowledgeable. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Quality of screen share can be improved. Lack of dial-in by phone for speakers. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Provides an easy way of engaging with attendees. Engaging of delegates through conferences is made possible by Crowdcast. The setup is very straightforward. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automating workflow of our email distribution. Recording and sharing webinars. ### 4. Stable platform with exceptional customer support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Casey D. | owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** The ability to announce casts in advance, require registration if appropriate, charge if appropriate and for attendees to ask questions in advance. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** It's pricey. A good value, but I don't know if I'd sign up at the current pricing. My plan was grandfathered in. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. Excellent customer support. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have a private Patreon group and Crowdcast is far superior to live-stream via YouTube, which I was doing previously. The group feels like it's getting a true benefit. ### 5. Affordable and Easy To Use **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mandy B. | Chief Operating Officer, Legal Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** I like how easy Crowdcast is to use. We use it for our company training and sales webinars and it's very easy for our customers to sign up and attend. I also like that the sessions are automatically recorded for those registered who couldn't attend and that all previous webinars and future webinars are listed out on a nice page. The support is very nice and helpful too. We also like the ability to save custom polls and calls to action in the webinars too. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** We've had some quality issues with our screen share recordings and sound. But the support staff always does their best to help with pinpointing the issue. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Crowdcast helps us to communicate with our current and prospective clients in an effective way that is beneficial to both our company and our clients. ### 6. Excellent Platform if it fits your needs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Online Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 09, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Integration with Patreon, the interactive functions (Q&A upvote, easy to create polls in an instant, user friendly tools for both admin and attendee). The community feel for the broadcasts is very good, if that is aligned with your brand. I also appreciate that another person can be logged into the same admin account as a "producer" to help with the execution of the broadcast, instead of having to purchase another "host" account like you do in Zoom. It is perfectly fine that with Crowdcast only one admin can be onscreen at a time; the behind-the-scenes "producer" allowance is more than enough. It's extremely easy to get started with Crowdcast and set up your first event. The fact that you can customize each event on your channel is great --- private or unlisted, you can accept payments!!! so that only paying customers can attend, or if you use Patreon you can create patron-only broadcasts so that only active Patreon subscribers can access those broadcasts or recordings. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Not much to dislike, but if it's going to be your primary webinar platform and you want more of a one-way delivery, the welcoming community aesthetic may not be for you. For us, our authority is a very important part of our brand, and so a one-way webinar interface is more in alignment. However, for Patreon broadcasts, the community aspect is welcome. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Make sure that this is the right webinar platform for you. Each is different and may or may not work for your brand or budget. That said, Crowdcast is excellent in every way and the company continues to improve on its product. Also, I was very impressed that the CEO gave the demo that I attended. High marks. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Patron-only broadcasts for Pateron subscribers. This is the main reason I am using Crowdcast. ### 7. no fuss webinars **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pascale R. | Film Hair and Make-up artist, course creator and tech support for the film industry, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Crowdcast experience is as easy and simple as can be, both for the people creating the webinar than the people watching. Really easy to plan, make your webinar a paid one, it just works and you can be set in 5mn for a free webinar. You cannot have a smoother experience. It works super nicely on mobile as well which is super important for my audience. You can super easily make a webinar paid, free or private so all your marketing/teaching needs are covered. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I don't know. I haven't stumble on anything that's annoying yet. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Just try it. the software is the easiest. I have been on many webinars and am always happier when the host uses Crowdcast. When I remember the hassle when I was doing through Youtube live with an extra chat box, it's such a waste of time compared to Crowdcast. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am giving online courses and masterclass to people who are not used to this type of content, plus they need to consume on their phone. with Crowdcast it's so easy. Even the reminder emails are already programmed and can be amended so they sound more like you. Magical. ### 8. Crowdcast is a game changer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vanessa C. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** I've used at least 6 different webinar platforms in the last few years on a quest to find one that offered a great user experience for both myself and the attendees. Crowdcast is it! I love the depth of the analytics, the interactivity of the platform, and the ability to provide attendees with a great learning experience. I also appreciate that Crowdcast has the ability to integrate with our CRM. This provides greater ease and better tracking of customer and subscriber date. My customers have said that they like the Q&A feature in Crowdcast. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** The only thing that comes to mind is the poll functionality. It's not really easy to use during a broadcast. I wish I could pre-load a couple of poll questions and then launch it as needed during the broadcast. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem Crowdcast solves for my business is providing an integrated, stable, and reliable platform for webinars - both paid training and list-growth training. Because of Crowdcast's analytics we've been able to pinpoint strategies that are truly working and are able to multiply our results because of this. For instance, we consistently see 20% conversation on sign up pages for paid training and as high as 60% for free trainings. We bring in more high quality leads that turn into paid training customers and consulting clients. ### 9. Easy way to connect and provide value **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael M. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** System is easy to use and reliable. Reasonably priced. And with just a half hour of training, I was pretty much ready to go and do my first webinar. (I did not have any previous experience with running a webinar) **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** So far I'm quite happy with crowdcast. I've yet to find a downside, other than not having access to tech support during the weekend. That is usually when I do my webinars. So having some support then would be helpful. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** For a small business like mine, Crowdcast seems to be a great solution. I am new to using webinars, but at the moment Crowdcast has everything I need. And it has been very easy to set up and use **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows me to both provide helpful content for my audience, and monetize it at the same time. I like that the webinars can be accessed later and I don't have host any of the content on my website. ### 10. Best webinar platform I've used to date **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rikki P. | Business Operations Analyst, Professional Training & Coaching, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Crowdcast is very easy to setup, in terms of the account and also for each event. They offer extreme value for money, have awesome customer support, and the feature that my clients and audience love most is that there are no downloads they need to make in order to view. Another audience-side plus is that the URL for each event remains the same (if I'd like) so there's no need to hunt down emails to gain access. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Not being to isolate screen sharing to a particular tab; but that also could be browser related. On a few occasions I wished that I could have a little more capacity to have others on-screen, but that's a minor wishlist item. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Don't let the simplicity fool you into thinking that Crowdcast isn't a powerhouse contender, it really is! **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been using it for live demos and walk-throughs of software that have turned into booked consulting projects, so that benefit is revenue. Another use has been to hold client meetings, whether onboarding or monthly check-ins which is very beneficial because the client then has something to reference without necessarily needing to confer with me for quick recaps. ### 11. Crowdcast saves hours of work for each webinar we run for clients **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan C. | Library Director, Libraries, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** We saved around 6 hours of work per webinar when we switched to crowdcast a couple years ago. Since then we've increased the frequency of webinars and grown our audience significantly. They are all about removing barriers and making it as simple as possible for both hosts and audience members, and then they provide amazing metrics we can use for our reporting. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Crowdcast has been limited to Chrome for quite a while, and is not as useful for smaller meetings. Therefore we've had to use crowdcast for it's strengths which is to reach a larger audience. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** It's important to host a rehearsal webinar before starting your live event. Create a new event, login, and test out the features. The support docs and team are also really helpful. I've had some trouble with a microphone, or audio playback, but then I'm always able to fix it with Crowdcast's support. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Right now it takes about 5 minutes to set up a new event and publish it to our audience. We start getting registrations immediately. The benefit is growing the audience with video and being part of a community of creators. ### 12. Wonderful and easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pam A. | Scholarship Mentor, E-Learning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Unlike other platforms, the technology is very easy to use. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I would like to have a feature where I can add an attachment like a pdf for the participants to download. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Don't wait! Try it. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to use it a pre-sales vehicle for my discovery calls. I have people watch the video prior to talking with me. This has saved me time and also prequalified my leads. ### 13. Super Easy Platform, Amazing Customer Service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nazarah I. | Educator, Professional Training & Coaching, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** The platform is so user friendly. It's quite possibly the easiest platform I use for my business now. They have nailed it with making it accessible and easy to configure. And the staff has been excellent in getting questions answered immediately. Super impressed. Definitely a top rated company to do business with. They go above and beyond. Highly recommend. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Haven't found anything that is notable yet. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** So many things... I can live stream on their platform and multi-stream to several others at the same time. They make growing my audience easy with their seamless interface that gracefully captures emails and names. Feels super professional and user friendly for my audience. They stay connected with my audience by emailing them every time I'm on live. And I have a professional page that stores all my events that people can purchase at a later date. So integrated on so many levels. ### 14. Crowdcast is the simplest and most comprehensive virtual event platform I have found **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian R. | Director of Education, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** My absolute favorite part of Crowdcast is the tight integration of video, chat, and Q&A. It is so simple for me, as an organizer, to invite presenters on screen and host a great session. Moderation is so straight-forward. I also like that questions composed in the chat window can be converted for use in the Q&A feature. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I wish there were direct API access to the platform for creating and deleting events and registering/unregistering attendees. The current feature set is practically perfect in every way otherwise. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** I like to create private "Equipment Test" events for my guest presenters so I can give them a quick tour of using Crowdcast ahead of the public event. Usually I schedule these anywhere from a day to a week prior to the real event. Sometimes, due to presenter schedule, I have to run them same day at which point we just use the public event's green room. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** My entire business is virtual education events and Crowdcast provides practically everything I need in one tidy platform. It has made scheduling and running each of my monthly webinars and annual virtual conferences so much easier. My whole process is streamlined from where it was a year ago, all thanks to Crowdcast. ### 15. Well-designed software for hosting highly interactive webinars **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin M. | Founder, Higher Education, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Here are my 4 favorite things about Crowdcast: (1) The registration page, the event page, and the recording page are all at the same URL. (2) Recordings are available almost immediately after the event. (3) It has great interactive capabilities, namely the chat and Q&A functionality. (4) Everything is nicely designed, so it's easy to get up and running. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** In the early days, the recording quality was not good enough, but it has gotten better over time. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** I've been using Crowdcast for years. They have continued to come out with new, innovative features without adding bloat to the product. The support has always been top-notch: quick, friendly, clear, and generous. I recommend it to everyone who asks! **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I need a way to teach highly interactive data science classes online, and Crowdcast provides that! My students have enjoyed using it, and it has also helped me to grow my audience. ### 16. One of the easiest and most beautiful webinar platforms **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marie P. | Co-Founder, Chief Strategist + Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** It's so easy to use, I can recommend it to all of my clients, no matter how tech-savvy they are. It's beautifully designed, and feels like one of the most modern platforms out there. It has a nice FEEL to it. The lack of a need to download any software is also a huge benefit for participants. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I have had problems with slight clicking sounds in the audio whenever I have exported the video/audio after events. The login system is sometimes confusing for older, less savvy participants. Limit of 4 people on screen. I've experienced trouble with people having trouble accessing or hearing the video in their browser, even on chrome. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love having an easy link to send someone to in order to join a training or group call. It saves me time, it's easy to use, and makes it easy to run group programs. ### 17. Easy and Efficient (Especially for Newbies) **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Millie W. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** I love that Crowdcast is so easy to use. There are so many webinar platforms that are difficult for the presenter and attendees to use. There are also many features that were helpful during the webinar. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I would like to see the option to add an admin during the live webinar (it's a small fix) **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am helping teachers become better educators. Having this ease of access was great because it is on a platform without a lot of distractions. ### 18. Great first experience with Crowdcast **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Fantastic, responsive support - when I had questions, the CEO joined the chat to answer them. Exactly the features I need. Easy to use, and super-intuitive too -- I was up and running in under 5 minutes. One of my best experiences with a web service ever. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** It's more expensive than I'd like. They do allow you to cancel at any time and they have a $10/month "pause" feature, but the minimum useful feature set is around $60/month. It's a premium product so I can justify the price, but only if I start and stop the service to only be active every few months, which will involve some hassle. At half the price, I'd probably set it and forget it (and have more frequent livestreams for my patrons.) **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Reach out to their chat with any questions you have -- it's super-responsive. Join their weekly livestream -- it's run by their CEO, and goes over all the features in depth (and you get the experience of using their product as an audience member.) **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I make my living on Patreon and I wanted a fun way to connect with my patrons. Creating a livestream was super-intuitive and easy for me, and watching the livestream and using all the features was super-easy for my patrons. It has all the features I'd want-chat, voting on questions, time-stamping the answers, polls, being able to bring readers up on "stage" with me, nearly instant Rewatch for those who missed the livestream, downloadable emails. It was a great way to strengthen my relationships with my super-fans. ### 19. I love Crowdcast! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hannah G. | Mrs, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** The ease of use for host and consumer. We all like the chat feed and the video when live, communication is easy and nothing is missed. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** can't think of anything specific. (I'v not explored many of the extra features, like sharing screen or sharing to FB) **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Worth the extra learning curve for ease of use for host and consumer. My members love the chat feed and the question box is so helpful to revisit questions with timestamps on replays. The fact that the registration, live feed and replay are all using the same link is an extra bonus! It makes it so easy to use and reduces chance of human error! **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Chatting easily to membership without the distractions that we get on Facebook. ### 20. The best livestreaming platform for community building **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nathan M. | Podcast creator, host and editor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** That I am given full access to and control of my community's data (emails, stats, etc) **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I can't livestream from my phone yet, though I'm sure I'll be able to some day **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** As a premium product, this might not make sense for everyone. But if you're serious about livestreaming, and especially if you want to integrate livestreaming into your Patreon workflow, I would highly recommend considering Crowdcast **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love livestreaming but don't enjoy the middlemen who come between me and my audience, and control how we can connect. With Crowdcast I feel like they just enable me to connect directly with my people, and stay out of the way otherwise. Amazing! ### 21. Crowdcast is essential to my business! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yamile Y. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** I love that Crowdcast is easy to use and very reliable. It is one of the main components of my business and brings in most of my customers. Plus, their support is amazing! **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I don't like that when you create an event with multiple sessions that there are no notifications going out for each session and that the date and time stated for the event does always only show the first session. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Try it! It's the best solution on the market today. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Crowdcast to show potential customers how I work and what the process of my service looks like. I also use it to generate content to share on social media. ### 22. Found new tools needed for webinars **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John N. | Historical Actor/Speaker, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Crowdcast has a fresh interface that appealing for attendees and functional for hosts. The ability to provide almost instant replays at the same URL is a big bonus. The video quality is also excellent. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Getting panelists set up to broadcast is more complicated than it needs to be. I'm also disappointed with the ease of creating templates for doing the same kinds of webinars. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Crowdcast offers a good registration experience for attendees, it runs in the browser without any special apps, and it provides high quality hosted replays. ### 23. The platform and the Crowdcast Team are awesome! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Randy C. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Crowdcast has streamlined and simplified every part of the live stream process to multiple locations. Awesome and effective tool that builds and strengthens relationships. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** The only thing I dislike is having to pay :)... then I think about all the time Crowdcast saves me and remember how much value I receive. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Just do the 2 week trial and see for yourself. Only bad thing is you'll have no more excuses to not go live anymore. Game On! **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** My core audience and clients have been hundreds of miles away for almost 10 years, but is's so easy to jump on a Crowdcast to stay in touch, keep relationships strong, and keep projects moving forward.. ### 24. disaster waiting to happen **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Larry K. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** there was nothing remarkable about this software other than a shocking number of bugs, horrible product instability issues, and an unapologetic CEO who seems to be oblivious to these and other serious issues. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** crowdcast is extremely buggy. According to correspondence with Crowdcast's CEO, their database "locks up" from time to time when lots of people try to sign in, which makes it so that nobody can watch the live event. This seems like a pretty huge design flaw given that the purpose of this software is to host events with a few thousand people. We tried to stream our live event through this platform and received thousands of user complaints saying they couldn't access the livestream to the event. This software is supposed to do one thing (live casting of a video stream to thousands of people) and it fails miserably at doing that one thing. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** as this product doesn't scale to thousands of users, there isn't much benefit of using it above conventional web event software like gotomeeting, zoom, etc. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We attempted to host a Facebook Advertising Summit event via crowdcast, on january 24th, there were around 14k sign ups with maybe 3k live attendees (we will never know the full number though, since crowdcast was down). It was a major event that our team spent a lot of time and effort to prepare. Immediately we were inundated with over a thousand support requests of users complaining that crowdcast was frozen. Approximately 25% of our sales resulted in returns due to technical issues with crowdcast. Users were very angry for having blocked off their day to access this content, but it wasn't streaming at all. Major issues persisted for the entire day, randomly booting users off the platform, and was overall a spectacular failure. If you have an important company event you are working on, and if you are OK with being completely sabotaged by crowdcast, then i suppose this is the software for you. ### 25. Crowdcast is such an amazing addition to my business! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** First of all they are so personable, and always available to help out in any way at any point of learning, setting up, having your actual event, and even after too. The system makes things so easy, to taking payments or registrations, to automatically emailing the participants, to reminding them with the link to join, and the recording is available IMMEDIATELY after so there's nothing that needs to be done really but show up! **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** That my laptop overheats even on googlechrome browser, and I have very high speed internet. And because it has to be on certain browsers, my students sometimes have issues getting on, or watching the replay. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** You have to try it to see how easy it can be, how high quality the video is, how the features help you stay in contact with your audience, and having the replay available to even download is just incredible! **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** It saves me so much time. With Zoom I have to do so much myself, and then get the recording, and send it out, etc. And Crowdcast makes everything so easy! Also, having a call to action button is awesome, and the other features make it super fun and interactive for the participants. ### 26. Crowdcast - the best Zoom conference with a Facebook profile! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachael O. | Coach Author, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** That I can build a personal profile presence and business channel whilst recording excellent Workshops and Podcasts **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** That it's only on Chrome - Crowdcast are looking to change this **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Try it **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Chrome; and setting up new Recordings from my Phone app ### 27. Hands down the best webinar software out there **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Meighan O. | Business Coach Strategist, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Crowdcast looks beautiful, it runs seamlessly, and there's never any issue. You can't say that about most webinar software out there. It's the only software I use, and I have tired a lot of webinar software. There's too much to worry about when running an online business, running your webinars that generate leads shouldn't be among them. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** There's not much to dislike. The only issue I have is that Safari can be a real pain. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm educating and building strong relationships with my audience. I'm running live workshops and webinars and it's been a great way for me to build my business. ### 28. Great live casting experience! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Phill B. | Advisor, Management Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Crowdcast has some great features like embedding in various web environments, Call to Action sales option when live, 'green room' speaker preparation area and a Q&A option that includes being able to timestamp the relevant video location of the discussion. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Currently limited to 4 speakers on screen at any time. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Get started! **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Crowdcast has enabled us to stream live into our digital community solution rather than needing a separate landing link, keeping the community focused within our main digital solution - the onsales we've achieved from the live Call to Action button has more than paid for the reasonable Crowdcast fees! ### 29. the most user-friendly webinar broadcasting platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elinor F. | Founder & CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** I've always appreciated Crowdcast's attractive user interface, for both the host and viewers. The built-in "prepare to go live" features make it super easy to test my equipment before going live, so I'm way less stressed! I also appreciate that I don't have to upgrade to a premium membership to be able to download the opt-in list. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** I can't really think of anything right now. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it as a platform to deliver value to my followers through guest interviews, as well as to sell my live retreat programs using a basic powerpoint and talking through the retreat experience. ### 30. First class service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joy E. | Strategic Business Consultant, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** When I talk to Crowdcast employees about tech issues, they don't use a script. They talk to me like a human being, and we work together to resolve issues, fast. My last webinar broadcast platform didn't even have a service component. Crowdcast is such a refreshing change. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** We have found nothing to dislike as of yet. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Integrate your YouTube channel and Facebook Live videos with your events. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're finding people are returning to engage with our next webinar, when they didn't before, and we're getting more exposure because it's easier to schedule the next event. ### 31. Always the best. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel E. | Sr. Product Marketing Manager for Creative Jams, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** Support, integrity, effort. The Crowdcast platform is easy for someone to host, manage, and switch simultaneously, which makes you and your guests comfortable... and encourages engagement! The team provides great support, has clear goals in the roadmap, and puts effort into making it a better tool every day. Highly recommended. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Slow to improve, bugs not totally sorted out before roll outs. Engagement can be improved with some notifications in the chat, and the service could use a private room for guests. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving engagement issues, and trying to get students to converse and work together almost as seamlessly as if they were in the same room together. Benefits are the instantaneous feel of the platform and the Web RTC technology; providing a faster way to engage. ### 32. Simply the best best online presentation platform. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John W.

I was a bit apprehensive as I'm not a tech person at all. I was so happy when I saw how easy it was to set up - the instructions are so user friendly and step by step I made my first event a reality. I'm now running them like a pro! Thanks Crowdcast. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Can be tricky to get people on screen depending on what browser they're using, but we'll work that one out. I know that there's plenty of tech support with Crowdcast for any queries I have. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Well worth trialling this product and reach out to the support team - they're very helpful. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** To scale my business I needed to be able to move from 1:1 coaching to 1:many group coaching and have people enjoy the benefits of interacting within a community of like-minded business owners.

A perfect webinar platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dmitry K. | Freelance Translator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** The functionality is beyond awesome. Everything you need and more. Excellent UI and UX too. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Pricing can be a bit steep if you're doing something not for profit. **Recommendations to others considering Crowdcast:** Give it a try, they have a free trial that should work for small use cases, but as soon as you try it I'm confident you won't be looking back. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're building a community of professionals around our shared interests. ### 35.

Integration with other providers via Zapier, makes systemisation easy! ### 36. Does what it says - straightforward without hustle **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2019 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** That it does what it says. It's a straightforward process both for me as the producer / presenter and for the audience.

Also: I would love to offer affiliate commissions to people who forward my link. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** Educating my audience about the challenges that they really face versus the ones that they assume they face. Building trust and confidence so that people hire me as their coach. ### 37.

It’s easy to manage and we successfully ran an all day event using the platform, with multiple guest. Love the green room element. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** Still needs some work on sharing... difficult to use the platform standalone to promote your event. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are global... but run from U.K. and crowdcast has helped us extend reach, keep consistency and deliver a unified brand. ### 41.

Crowdcast is a great choice! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Crowdcast?** I like that this doesn't require software. Nowadays there are so many different downloads that are required in order to do pretty much anything online. However, software isn't required here. That's one less thing that I'll have to worry about taking up my digital space. I also like that I don't have to setup a landing page on another site and that I can also allows users to have an easier way of attending my streams. They can follow me and then get notifications about when I'm having the next event. This will cut down on the time spent having to corral users each time there is another event. There is also a single link to sign up, attend, rewatch etc so it's easier on the user. **What do you dislike about Crowdcast?** There isn't really anything that I dislike but I do always think that everything can be improved. Nothing is entirely perfect, but at this time this platform ticks off pretty much all the boxes for me. It is more expensive than some of the other platforms out there and that can be a drawback for some. However, I think in this instance that the higher price point is there because you're getting a much better service. There is a free trial that is available so anyone with doubts can always test the waters first. **What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?** An easy to ease video communication tool that doesn't require clunky software and can easily be used on different devices. There are features that are kept in-house like landing pages that make getting the word out about a given event easier. Users can also rewatch the stream a lot faster than on other video platforms where you may have a delay between the event and when it is available for rewatching/the initial stream. I don't currently use it but not because of a negative reason I just switched roles. ## Crowdcast Discussions - [Can I use Crowdcast to teach my students online?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/26436-can-i-use-crowdcast-to-teach-my-students-online) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Is crowdcast free?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-crowdcast-free) - 1 comment - [How do you use crowdcast?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-use-crowdcast) - 1 comment - [View Crowdcast pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/crowdcast/reviews?page=2§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-20+08%3A01%3A28+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=77f56f6d-2acc-405f-a35a-d0574a42d74c&secure%5Btoken%5D=4b5342e6a7b7199b229061b40b5e8cb4d0f4ab2f843426e1224bc26cc0fcec00&format=llm_user) ## Crowdcast Integrations - [Intuit Mailchimp Email Marketing](https://www.g2.com/products/intuit-mailchimp-email-marketing/reviews) ## Crowdcast Features **Collaboration Tools** - Screen Sharing - Presentations - Live Chat - Hand Raising **Meeting Coordination** - Scheduling - Recording - Participant Permissions **Software Type** - Mobile - Browser Application - Desktop Application **Agentic AI - Video Conferencing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Crowdcast Alternatives - [Zoom Workplace](https://www.g2.com/products/zoom-workplace/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (53,528 reviews) - [Livestorm](https://www.g2.com/products/livestorm/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (1,650 reviews) - [BigMarker](https://www.g2.com/products/bigmarker/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (431 reviews)
