What is the main difference between Communique and GoToWebinar?

Communique is purpose-built for B2B marketing teams driving pipeline. GoToWebinar is a general-purpose webinar tool with a static slide-and-chat layout. Communique offers dynamic console layouts, full white-label, native CRM integrations (Marketo, HubSpot, Pardot, Salesforce, Eloqua, Omeda), AI Content Studio, multi-camera switching, and audiences up to 100,000+ concurrent. GoToWebinar caps most plans at 3,000 attendees, lacks dynamic console, and offers limited white-label.

Is Communique cheaper than GoToWebinar?

Pricing models are different. GoToWebinar charges a monthly subscription per host, $109 to $499+ per month depending on audience size, with annual billing. Communique starts at $1,950 per managed webcast with no host-seat tax. For teams running 6+ events per year at audience sizes over 1,000, Communique often costs less per qualified lead and produces 2 to 3x more pipeline per event.

Does Communique replace GoToWebinar?

Yes, for B2B marketing teams. Communique delivers a broadcast-grade audience experience, dynamic console, white-label branding, native CRM integrations, and AI Content Studio that GoToWebinar does not offer.

How does the audience experience compare?

Communique delivers a cinematic, broadcast-grade experience with dynamic console layouts, multi-camera switching, 22 engagement components placed in-line, and full custom branding. GoToWebinar uses a static slide-and-chat layout with limited engagement components and GoToWebinar-branded elements visible to the audience.

What is the maximum audience size on Communique vs GoToWebinar?

Communique supports up to 100,000+ concurrent viewers on a single event using CDN delivery. GoToWebinar caps most plans at 3,000 attendees, with higher tiers required for larger audiences.

How long does it take to switch from GoToWebinar to Communique?

Most teams launch their first Communique event within two weeks. The Communique team handles migration of historical registration data, branded templates, and integration setup.
