What is an evergreen webinar?
An evergreen (automated) webinar is a pre-recorded presentation that runs on a schedule or on demand, so a new registrant can attend a session that starts in minutes — with chat, reminders, and a replay — without the host being live.
What is self-hosted webinar software?
Self-hosted webinar software runs on hosting accounts you control instead of a vendor's SaaS platform. You pay providers directly at cost, keep every registrant record in your own database, and can change the code — so the funnel keeps working even if the vendor disappears.
Key takeaways
- One-time license: $495 for the 50 Founders slots, then $990 retail. No subscription, no per-attendee tier, free access to all future updates.
- Runs on your own hosting, video, and email accounts — typically a few dollars a month, paid to the providers at cost.
- Just-in-time scheduling offers every visitor a session starting within about 15 minutes, in their own timezone.
- Unlimited webinars and registrants, the full source code, white-label branding, and your own domain.
- Every webinar can be free or paid: attendees pay through Stripe Checkout on your own Stripe account, with no platform cut. An optional AI Assistant answers how-to questions and runs admin tasks you confirm.
- Replaces EverWebinar, Demio, eWebinar, StealthSeminar, and WebinarKit for the evergreen webinar funnel.
- Built for solo course creators, coaches, and small teams who want to own their evergreen funnel instead of renting it.
Replaces
Public list pricing, June 2026. Plans and tiers vary.
From upload to a live webinar funnel, in under an hour.
Three steps from clone to converting. No webinar consultant, no implementation invoice — versus a SaaS bill that never stops.
Upload your video once
Drop an MP4 into your video library. Webinar1 handles transcoding, signed playback, and the no-scrub player automatically.
Configure the funnel
Set your just-in-time slot cadence, seed the live-feel chat, write your CTA, and pick when it reveals. Six email templates ship preconfigured.
Send traffic, sell on autopilot
Share the /w/your-slug link. Registrants get scheduled into the next slot, receive automated reminders, and watch in a room that feels live.
Everything an evergreen funnel needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Feature parity with the $70–$200/mo platforms — minus the per-attendee taxes, sales calls, and 12-month contracts.
Just-in-time scheduling
Visitors register and get the next available slot — 15 min from now, rounded to the next 30. Sells in every timezone, sleeps when you do.
No-scrub player
Custom video player with seek-back-snap, blocked keyboard shortcuts, and a locked playback rate. Keeps the live illusion intact.
Live-feel chat
Pre-time chat messages on the video timeline. Audience sees the same conversation they'd see in a live room — without you typing.
Automated email sequence
Confirmation, 24h reminder, 1h reminder, starting-now, replay link, no-show follow-up. Six email templates, all yours to edit.
Free or paid — your call
Run any webinar free, or set a ticket price and registrants pay through Stripe Checkout before they get their join link. It runs on your own Stripe account, so the money lands with you — no platform cut, nothing extra to deploy.
Built-in analytics
Registrations, attendance, max-watch %, CTA clicks. Per-webinar registrant table with CSV export. No third-party tracker needed.
Your branding, your domain
Set business name, logo, primary color, from-address. Webinar1 stays out of the way — your brand is the only one your audience sees.
Bot-protected registration
CAPTCHA bot protection + IP rate limiting + suppression list. Bounce/complaint webhooks keep your sender reputation clean.
You own the data
Registrants, watch metrics, and email events live in your own database. No vendor lock-in. Export anytime.
AI Assistant in the admin
Ask how anything works and get an answer from the built-in knowledge base, or tell it what to change — it shows you exactly what it will do and waits for your confirm. Bring your own Anthropic API key; off until you switch it on.
Plugs into LeadStack CRM
Every registration, payment, join, and CTA click fires a signed webhook, and a REST API creates webinars and registrants. Built to feed LeadStack CRM — works with any CRM or automation platform too.
Deploys in 15 minutes
Managed hosting for the app, a backend platform for auth + database + scheduled jobs, a dedicated video host for streaming, a transactional email provider for email. All free or near-free tiers.
Your webinar runs at 3am. You don’t have to.
Add it to your home screen on iPhone or Android and the admin becomes an app. Questions come to you as notifications, you answer in a tap, and anyone who’s already moved on gets your reply by email.
Push notifications
Your phone buzzes the moment an attendee asks something — even with the app closed. No tab left open, no inbox to keep refreshing.
Reply on the go
Open the notification straight into the conversation and answer from wherever you are. Threads look like the messaging app you already use.
Answer hours or days later
Reply the next morning and it still lands: if they've left the room, your answer reaches them by email automatically.
Nobody waits in silence
A question that arrives while you're asleep gets an instant acknowledgement, so attendees know it landed rather than assuming they were ignored.
Nothing to download from an app store, and no extra subscription — it’s your own deployment, added to your home screen.
See the whole funnel.
Registration page, the live-feel room, and your admin dashboard — the exact screens your audience and you actually use.

Typical solo operator: ~$95–340/mo cancelled outright, more if you trim the partials. Webinar1 pays for itself in roughly 2–5 months — then it’s yours, free, forever.
It’s a webinar funnel in a repo.
Day one it’s Webinar1 with your first webinar. By the end of week one it’s your platform, on your domain, with your name on every screen. No “powered by” badge, no SaaS landlord.
Your logo
Your logo on every screen — registration page, room, emails, even the link preview when someone shares it.
Your name
Your name is the only name attendees ever see. Header, browser tab, email signatures — all yours.
Your domain
Your URL in the address bar. Your DNS, your SSL — never a shared subdomain.
Your colors
Pick your palette. Every screen and email takes the swap, end to end.
Your offer
Your webinar, your CTA, your pricing on the other side of it. The money flows directly to you.
Your sender
Your inbox, your from-address. Replies hit your team, never us.
Your attendees never see the word “Webinar1”. Your data, your hosting, your billing — all in accounts you control. We just hand you the keys.
The math
What a typical course creator pays for one evergreen funnel, year over year.
Real costs depend on traffic. You pay $495 once for the Founders license, then a few dollars a month in infra — versus $70 to $200/mo, every month, forever, on a competitor.
One payment. No subscription.
No per-attendee tier. No per-message tax. The way professional software should be sold.

Questions
Straight answers on buying, setting up, and running a self-hosted evergreen webinar platform.
Can I rebrand it as my own?
Yes — that's the point. On setup you swap the logo, name, domain, colors, and email sender. Your attendees see your brand on every screen, not ours. No "powered by" badge, no SaaS landlord taking a margin.
Is there a subscription or trial?
No. Webinar1 is a one-time purchase: $990 retail, locked at $495 for the 50 Founders cohort. No per-attendee tiers, no per-message fees — you bring your own hosting, video, and email accounts and pay them directly (a few dollars a month).
Do I need to be a developer?
No. Setup is config files, environment variables, and clicking through provider dashboards. If you can deploy a modern web app to a hosting provider, you can run Webinar1 — and the Onboarding Guide walks an AI coding assistant through every step.
How is this different from EverWebinar or Demio?
Those are rented SaaS with monthly fees and per-attendee caps. Webinar1 is a license you self-host and own: unlimited registrants, your data, your domain, and the full source code to extend however you want. No contract, no per-message tax.
Will my audience know it's pre-recorded?
Same approach as the $70–$200/mo tools. Just-in-time slots create a 'starts in 15 minutes' experience; the no-scrub player and pre-timed chat preserve the live feel for the 99% of viewers who don't open dev tools.
Should I tell attendees the webinar is pre-recorded?
That's your call, and it depends on your audience. Webinar1 gives you the scheduled-session feel — a just-in-time slot, pre-timed chat, a no-scrub player — but the wording on your registration page, reminder emails, and room is yours to set. Plenty of creators label sessions "on-demand training" or "scheduled replay" and convert just as well; what matters is that your audience never feels tricked.
What are the risks of self-hosting, and what if Webinar1 disappears?
Three things to weigh. Updates: you pull new releases into your own repo when you choose — nothing auto-updates and nothing changes under you overnight. Email deliverability: you send from your own transactional provider and domain, so you own the sender reputation; set up SPF and DKIM once and watch the bounce webhooks. Vendor risk: if Webinar1 vanished tomorrow your deployment keeps running unchanged, because the full source code and every record are already yours.
What handles the video and email?
A dedicated video host for video (direct upload + signed adaptive playback) and a transactional email provider for email. You connect your own accounts and pay them directly — pennies per webinar, no margin tax.
Can I charge for a webinar?
Yes. Every webinar is free by default. Switch on "Charge for this webinar", set a price and currency, and registrants pay through Stripe Checkout before they receive their join link. You connect your own Stripe account with a restricted key from Settings → Payments, so the money lands in your Stripe balance directly — Webinar1 takes no cut, and there is nothing extra to deploy. A full refund or chargeback in Stripe closes the room automatically, and you can comp anyone in for free.
What does the AI Assistant do?
It lives in the admin and answers "how do I…" questions from a built-in knowledge base covering every screen and setting. It can also take actions — create or edit a webinar, change emails or settings — but only after showing you a card with exactly what will happen and waiting for your confirm. It runs on your own Anthropic API key, ships switched off, and has a per-day message cap, so you control the cost.
Is this a complete, ready-to-go app?
Every core feature ships working — registration, scheduling, the room, the player, automated emails, analytics. Setup is connecting your providers and branding via config. Walk the golden path once on your own deployment before going live.
Can I get a refund?
As a digital product delivered as source you keep, sales are typically final. Read the feature list and FAQ in full before you buy, and reach out with any questions first.
