Looking for a Whereby Alternative? We Run It Instead

Not quite, because we also turn your registrants into CRM records. A webinar list sitting in a spreadsheet is not a pipeline. Registration forms map straight into your CRM with source tracking attached, attendance writes back against the contact, and the follow up splits by who actually showed.

No. Attendees join from a browser using the link in the invite, on desktop or mobile, with no account and no download. Hosts often prefer the desktop app because screen sharing and controls are smoother, and we set that up for the people running sessions. For webinars this matters a lot, since every install step costs you registrants who never show up.

You email or message the request and we handle it, usually within two business days. Scheduling a webinar, adding a host, changing a registration page, fixing a broken calendar sync, and adjusting a recording policy are all handled within your plan's monthly hours rather than as separate quotes. Live event support needs a few days’ notice so we can run a rehearsal with your presenters first.

Managed Zoho Meeting is a monthly service where we run the platform for you. We handle host provisioning, meeting and webinar setup, registration pages, reminders, recordings, CRM logging, security settings, and reporting. You get a team that configures the account properly once and then keeps it working as your staff, your calendars, and your event schedule change. You send requests and we make the changes.

The plan covers ongoing management of your Zoho Meeting and Webinar account on a published monthly plan. That includes host and license administration, session and webinar setup, registration pages and forms, reminder and follow up sequences, recording and transcript management, CRM sync, security configuration, attendance reporting, and host training. Live webinar support is included for sessions you schedule with us in advance.

They are two modes of the same product. Meeting is a two way session where everybody can talk and share, which suits internal calls, demos, and client work. Webinar is a broadcast where presenters speak and the audience interacts through registration, polls, and questions. Webinar plans carry larger audience limits plus the registration and reporting features events need. We manage both under the same plan.

Zoho offers a free tier with limits on participants, session length, and recording storage, and it is genuinely usable for small internal calls. It runs out quickly once you need webinars, registration, longer sessions, or recordings you intend to keep. Our service manages whichever plan you hold, including the free one, though most clients need paid features within the first month of running real sessions.

For most teams the in call experience is close enough that the decision comes down to everything around it. Zoho Meeting costs less per host, runs in a browser with no install for attendees, and logs straight into Zoho CRM without a connector. Zoom has broader third party integration and more name recognition with outside participants. If you already run Zoho, Meeting is usually the cheaper and better connected choice.

No. Zoho Meeting works on its own and we manage it either way. The service is worth more with CRM in place, because meetings, attendees, and webinar registrations log against real records and your activity history stops depending on whether a rep remembered to write a note. Without CRM we still handle scheduling, webinars, recordings, security, and reporting.
