Webinar1 vs EverWebinar.
Same evergreen webinar funnel — just-in-time scheduling, a live-feel room, automated emails. The difference is ownership: a one-time license you self-host and brand, versus a ~$99/mo subscription on someone else’s servers.
Renting a funnel adds up.
$99/mo — for as long as you run webinars
EverWebinar bills around $99/month (on the annual plan) in perpetuity. Three years in you've paid roughly $3,500 and still own nothing. Stop paying and the funnel goes dark.
Your registrants live on their servers
Every registration, watch metric, and email event sits in EverWebinar's database. You can export some of it, but the list, the analytics, and the deliverability reputation are effectively theirs, not yours.
White-label stops at the surface
You get a custom domain and some branding, but you can't change how the room behaves, ship a tweak your launch needs, or remove the platform's constraints. Their roadmap is your roadmap.
Own the platform you launch on.
You own the code, not a seat
Webinar1 is the full source of an evergreen webinar platform you clone, deploy, and brand as your own. Every file — registration, the no-scrub room, the email sequences, the admin — is yours to read and extend.
One payment, then pay infra at cost
After the one-time license your only costs are the providers your deployment actually uses — hosting, video, and email — paid directly at their published rates, with no platform markup. Most setups run a few dollars a month.
Your brand, domain, and data — all the way down
Registrants land on your domain, emails send from your address, and every record lives in your own database. Nothing routes through us. Your audience never sees the word “Webinar1.”

Based on public plan details, June 2026. Plans and tiers vary.
One payment vs every month, forever.
- One-time license — yours forever
- Pay hosting / video / email directly, at cost
- Typically a few dollars/month to run
- 3-year total: about $495
- ~$1,188/year, billed annually
- Per-room / attendee caps by plan
- Data + deliverability on their servers
- 3-year total: about $3,500 — no ownership
Break-even versus EverWebinar typically lands inside the first few months. Every month after is straight savings — and the platform is yours.
Where EverWebinar still has the edge.
- Hosted convenience — EverWebinar is live in minutes with no deploy step. Webinar1's clone-and-configure flow takes about 30 minutes the first time.
- Polished page builder — EverWebinar's drag-and-drop registration/replay page editor is more mature than Webinar1's themeable templates today.
- Integrations marketplace — years of native integrations and a larger third-party ecosystem.
- Established support + community — a long head start in training content and an existing user base.
The honest summary: EverWebinar is more polished out of the box and the right call if you never want a deploy step. Webinar1 is the right call if you want to own what you launch on — and stop paying rent on it.
Common questions.
Is Webinar1 a true EverWebinar replacement?+
For the core evergreen use cases — registration, just-in-time scheduling, a live-feel no-scrub room, pre-timed chat, automated reminders and replays, and per-webinar analytics — yes. Webinar1 covers what most creators use day to day. EverWebinar's page builder and integrations marketplace are more mature today.
Do I need to be a developer to run it?+
No. Setup is creating accounts at a few standard providers (hosting, video, and email) and pasting keys into a config file. The repo ships a guided onboarding file written for non-developers, and most buyers finish setup with an AI coding assistant in well under an hour. Day-to-day use is entirely in the browser.
Who owns my registrant data?+
You do. Registrations, watch metrics, and email events live in your own database, under your billing and access control. There's no Webinar1-controlled database in the loop, and you can export everything at any time.
What's the real running cost?+
After the one-time license, expect a few dollars a month for most deployments — hosting, video, and email all have generous free tiers, and you pay them directly at cost. Compare that to roughly $99/month, forever, with EverWebinar.
Can I migrate from EverWebinar?+
Yes — re-upload your recording to your video host, import your contacts by CSV, and rebuild your sequence from the six included email templates. Most creators move new launches to Webinar1 first and retire EverWebinar at renewal.
