Q: What are typical hosting costs for live webinars? For 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 35,000 attendees, etc.

I am trying to figure out how much hosting will cost.

A: Hey, this is a great question, so thanks for sharing - I think it'll be really useful for other people to see this as well.

The short answer is that it really depends on what you're using as the broadcast integration with HeySummit. For example, if you use Zoom Webinar, it can be quite expensive when scaling up to those sorts of numbers.

However, if you use something like StreamYard and have that pushing to Vimeo or YouTube and then add YouTube/Vimeo as the source for your HeySummit event, I think you're looking at $99 a month or something pretty low-cost like that. You can even just pay for the month that you're running the event, so it's quite cost-effective if you use the right platforms.

But there are certainly some more expensive platforms that can get costly when you scale up to those numbers. I hope that helps. It’s fairly high-level, I appreciate. If you have any further specific questions, just let me know.
