Best Virtual Event Platforms (2026): Top 10 Compared

ON24 sells an engagement platform for webinars, virtual events and content marketing aimed at B2B sales and marketing teams. Cvent completed its acquisition of ON24 on 1 April 2026, and Cvent's announcement states that it plans to keep investing in the ON24 platform as a separate product.

The Essentials package covers webinars with a production studio, more than 20 interactivity tools, breakout rooms and accessibility components, plus branded registration pages, automated confirmation and reminder emails, and performance reporting on polls answered, questions asked and calls to action clicked. Virtual and hybrid events are sold as an add-on. Standard adds features under the Ace AI label: segment-level personalisation of calls to action and content, a heat map of the most-engaged moments of each webinar, and automated nurture pages that reuse those moments as highlight videos, e-books and blog posts.

The central theme of the pricing page is first-party data. Attendee interactions are scored and passed to marketing automation and CRM systems so that sales teams can follow up on engaged prospects.

Zoom sells its webinar and event products under one pricing page with three plans. Webinars is the standard broadcast product with chat, reactions, polls, Q&A, AI-generated smart chapters in recordings and performance reports. Webinars Plus adds access to the newer webinar platform, with pre-recorded sessions run as if live, a private backstage for speakers and moderators, production layouts and scenes, AI-generated event page text and images, and richer analytics.

The Events plan includes everything in Webinars Plus and adds multi-session and multi-day events. Organisers can run several stages at once, set ticket types from early bird to VIP, open a lobby with chat and session previews, host sponsors on an expo floor and enable attendee networking. Hybrid features include e-badges and QR code check-in.

Analytics on the higher plans include cross-event reporting, an engagement score, attendee profiles, dashboards and custom reports. Native connectors cover Eloqua, HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot and Salesforce, and the Sessions and Events tiers also connect to Cvent and Swoogo.

Virtual PRO is a virtual event platform from Brandlive, launched in January 2026. Brandlive's announcement states that customers of Hubilo, 6Connex, Studio and VX receive access to Virtual PRO automatically, and hubilo.com now redirects to virtualpro.com, including the former Hubilo pricing page.

The platform covers branded registration pages, personalised emails and event environments, one-click access, single sign-on and automated calendar blocks. During events it offers HD streaming with adaptive bitrates, multilingual captions, Q&A, polls, quizzes, leaderboards and networking rooms. Attendee actions, from booth visits to emoji reactions, sync in real time to HubSpot, Salesforce and Marketo to enrich lead records.

The service side is a large part of the offer. Brandlive's teams can produce the whole event or support it with run-of-show management, motion graphics, transitions, scripts and slide design. The pricing section states that annual price scales with admin seats, which typically follow team size, event complexity and programme scale.

Cvent is a meetings, events and hospitality technology company. Attendee Hub is its engagement platform for virtual, hybrid and in-person events, and it sits alongside Cvent's registration, event marketing and onsite tools. Cvent also acquired Goldcast in late 2025 and ON24 in April 2026, so it now sells several webinar and virtual event products.

Inside Attendee Hub, attendees use live chat, dynamic Q&A and polling. Cvent Studio captures and produces live or pre-recorded video, and Cvent Appointments Premium matches attendees with similar interests for meetings. AI networking tools recommend connections and content, and gamification and video discussion groups add interaction. Exhibitors and sponsors get virtual booths with video, downloadable collateral, request-for-information forms and one-to-one meeting booking.

After the event, sessions move into an on-demand catalogue. Engagement scoring highlights the most active attendees, and integrations push data into marketing automation and CRM tools.
