motion vs Zoom Webinar for paid events
Zoom Webinar charges a monthly fee and leaves payment collection to you. motion bundles ticketing, a paywall, and payouts, so you only pay when you earn.
Zoom Webinar is a capable broadcast tool, but it is priced as enterprise software: a recurring monthly fee based on attendee capacity, with no built-in way to sell tickets. To charge, you bolt on a registration and payment stack.
motion is built for paid events from the ground up. There is no monthly fee, you create an event, sell tickets through one link, and the paywall handles access. You keep 90% and only the people who paid get in.
Everything you need, built in
No stitched-together stack. motion bundles the paywall, payments, and live video so you can focus on the show.
No monthly fee
Pay nothing to host, you only deal with revenue when you sell.
Ticketing built in
Sell seats and gate access without a separate registration tool.
Payouts included
Withdraw in Naira or USDT directly, no third-party processor to wire up.
Screen share & chat
Present slides and run Q&A with built-in screen share and chat.
