COMPARISON
VerbaStage vs LiveVoice: transparent per-minute pricing or stage operation?
LiveVoice serves the self-run segment with transparent per-day/per-minute pricing and a human–AI mix; VerbaStage focuses on stage, Q&A return, multiple halls and rehearsed field operation. The table compares both products on the same criteria.
Side by side, same criteria
| Criterion | VerbaStage | LiveVoice |
|---|---|---|
| Attendee access | Attendees scan the event QR code, choose a language in the browser and listen; nothing is installed. | Attendees “join through an app or web browser on their own devices”; subtitles can be shown on phones, on the web, on large screens and embedded in video. |
| Outputs | Audio + live captions together; transcripts, recordings and feedback are archived according to the event agreement. | AI speech and subtitle translation; voice and text together or separately. |
| Languages | 13 spoken (source) languages; target listener rooms in English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic and Turkish; more per project. | “Over 70 languages”, “over 4000 language combinations”. |
| Human interpreter option | None — AI only. For high-stakes content we recommend human interpreters or a mixed setup and evaluate it together in the rehearsal. | Yes — “combine AI with human interpreters”; hand-over between human and AI in the same language channel. |
| Stage Q&A return | Yes: the stage language is always an open return room; a foreign-language question is interpreted into the stage language and the answer is broadcast to every selected language. | Not stated on the official page. |
| Multiple halls / permanent event kit | Permanent per-hall events under one program; each event has its own QR, listener, operator and capture links and its own archive. | “Unlimited events. Unlimited channels” (LIGHT plan); hall/program management not detailed. |
| Field operation and rehearsal | Field operator or an authorised customer computer; rehearsal on real devices and a pre-broadcast release gate. | “No special gear required”; field-operator/rehearsal flow not stated. |
| Meeting-platform integrations | No meeting-platform integration; designed for physical and hybrid stage broadcasts. | Not stated on the official page. |
| Latency statement | Stated openly as 3–6 seconds (network included, mouth to ear); measured in the hall during rehearsal. | FAQ: “AI will need to wait until a sentence is finished until it can actually start translating”; no numeric latency stated. |
| Terminology / glossary | Event context and terminology are taken into account in translation. | Not stated on the official page. |
| Pricing model | Plans: source minutes + number of target languages + attendee capacity; audience size alone does not raise interpretation cost. | Transparent: LIGHT €8/day, SMART €13/day, PRO €26/day (monthly/yearly options); AI voice & text translation €0.42/min/language, live captions €0.16/min/language; free test plan up to 3 participants. |
| Data and retention | Data separated by event and authorization scope; retention period and recording choices are defined in the agreement. | Not stated on the official page. |

When is LiveVoice the better fit?
- You want to self-run small and mid-size events with transparent per-day/per-minute pricing.
- You need to mix human interpreters and AI in the same channel.
- Showing subtitles on large screens or embedded in video is a priority.
When is VerbaStage the better fit?
- A physical stage with Q&A return and several halls under one program.
- You want a field operator, rehearsal on real devices and a pre-broadcast release gate.
- No app for attendees, lock-screen listening and an honest latency statement matter to you.
How to decide
- Where is your audience? In the hall listening on phones favours a stage-first platform; inside Zoom/Teams favours meeting integrations.
- What is the content risk? Legal, medical or negotiation content may need a provider with human interpreters or a mixed setup.
- Do you have Q&A and multiple halls? If so, test the return room, operator and rehearsal flow with real devices in a demo.
