Livestorm vs Muvi: at a glance
What is Livestorm?
Livestorm buys AI video startup Qlip to own what happens after the webinar ends.
Ten years in, Livestorm just made its first visible acquisition, bringing AI video company Qlip in-house to address post-recording webinar workflows. The surrounding feed mixes real platform milestones — a public API, an MCP integration, usage-based enterprise pricing, a HubSpot partnership — with marketing content. The company is repositioning from a live-webinar tool toward an AI-assisted video platform spanning the full event lifecycle.
What is Muvi?
Muvi cleared SOC 2 and immediately turned it into the centerpiece of its enterprise pitch.
The feed is heavily weighted toward category content — monetization models, audio libraries, OTT security, analytics integrations — with two genuine items in the window: the completed SOC 2 audit and Muvi Onyx, a pre-launch preview for OTT apps. The SOC 2 announcement was followed two days later by an explainer built around the same milestone.

◆ Current state
Ten years in, Livestorm just made its first visible acquisition, bringing AI video company Qlip in-house to address post-recording webinar workflows. The surrounding feed mixes real platform milestones — a public API, an MCP integration, usage-based enterprise pricing, a HubSpot partnership — with marketing content. The company is repositioning from a live-webinar tool toward an AI-assisted video platform spanning the full event lifecycle.
◆ Where it's heading
Livestorm is extending past the live event itself toward the recording-and-after phase, where AI repurposing of webinar video is the wedge. The Qlip deal, layered on prior moves toward openness (public API, MCP) and flexible pricing, signals a platform that wants to own both the broadcast and what teams do with the footage afterward.
◆ Prediction
Expect Qlip's technology to surface as native post-webinar features — automated clipping, summaries, or repurposing of recordings — given the stated focus on 'what happens after the recording ends.'
Muvi
5.0MEETINGS
Muvi cleared SOC 2 and immediately turned it into the centerpiece of its enterprise pitch.
◆ Current state
The feed is heavily weighted toward category content — monetization models, audio libraries, OTT security, analytics integrations — with two genuine items in the window: the completed SOC 2 audit and Muvi Onyx, a pre-launch preview for OTT apps. The SOC 2 announcement was followed two days later by an explainer built around the same milestone.
◆ Where it's heading
The push is upmarket. Compliance certification, dedicated server options, BI tool connections and scalability messaging all address procurement questions from larger streaming operators rather than the self-serve creator who can already build on Muvi One. Product work like Onyx supports that by shortening the path from configuration to a demonstrable app.
◆ Prediction
Expect the enterprise trust narrative to keep expanding — further compliance or security claims, and more content pitched at buyers evaluating Muvi against in-house streaming builds.
