What is the main difference between Communique and ON24?

Both deliver broadcast-grade webinars for B2B marketing teams. The main differences are production time, pricing structure, and producer model. Communique teams produce a polished live event in about ~25 minutes without a dedicated producer. ON24 events typically take 2 to 3 hours to produce and often involve a producer. ON24 pricing is annual and starts in the low five figures. Communique pricing starts at $1,950 per managed webcast.

Is Communique cheaper than ON24?

For most B2B marketing programs, yes. Communique offers per-event pricing starting at $1,950 and annual programs that scale by audience size rather than host seats. ON24 contracts are typically annual and start in the low five figures, scaling into six figures for larger programs.

Does Communique replace ON24 for pipeline-focused webinars?

Yes. Communique is purpose-built for pipeline generation, with native integrations into Marketo, HubSpot, Pardot, Salesforce, Eloqua, and Omeda, dynamic console layouts that surface CTAs at the right moments, and AI Content Studio that turns each event into downstream demand assets.

How do Communique and ON24 compare on white-label and branding?

Communique supports full white-label: custom domain, custom registration pages, custom email templates, custom console, custom colors and logos. No platform branding appears anywhere the audience sees. ON24 supports branding but the underlying experience is recognizable as ON24.

How long does it take to switch from ON24 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 with your existing CRM and marketing automation platform.

Does Communique support the same audience size as ON24?

Yes. Communique supports audiences from 100 attendees to over 100,000 concurrent viewers on a single event, using a content delivery network rather than peer connections so quality holds at scale.
