Comparison

Webinar1 vs StealthSeminar.

StealthSeminar is one of the original automated webinar platforms, priced at roughly $70–100/mo with registrant caps by plan. Webinar1 runs the same evergreen funnel — just-in-time scheduling, a live-feel room, automated emails — as a one-time license you self-host, brand, and own.

Where StealthSeminar falls short

Renting a funnel adds up.

$70–100/mo, capped by plan

StealthSeminar's plans run about $70–100/month with limits on registrants and webinars by tier. Three years in that's roughly $2,500–3,600, and stopping the subscription switches the funnel off.

Your registrants live on their servers

Every registration, watch metric, and email event sits in StealthSeminar's database. You can export some of it, but the list, the analytics, and the deliverability reputation are effectively theirs, not yours.

You rent the room; they set the rules

The registration pages, the room, and the sequences are StealthSeminar's templates and constraints. You can tweak, not change — and a feature your launch needs waits on their roadmap.

How Webinar1 is different

Own the platform you launch on.

Run it from your phone

Add the admin to your home screen on iPhone or Android and you get a notification the moment someone asks a question — no laptop, no browser tab left open. Reply there and then, or days later; if they've moved on, your answer reaches them by email. An evergreen webinar runs while you're asleep, so the questions have to find you rather than pile up unanswered.

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.”

Pricing compared

One payment vs every month, forever.

Webinar1
$495once
  • One-time license — yours forever
  • Pay hosting / video / email directly, at cost
  • Typically a few dollars/month to run
  • 3-year total: about $495
StealthSeminar
~$70/mo
  • About $70–100/mo depending on plan
  • Registrant and webinar caps by tier
  • Data + deliverability on their servers
  • 3-year total: about $2,500–3,600 — no ownership

Break-even versus StealthSeminar lands inside the first year on every plan, and within a few months on the $100/mo tier. Every month after is straight savings — and the platform is yours.

The honest bit

Where StealthSeminar still has the edge.

  • Hybrid live + automated — stream a live session and let it run evergreen afterwards from the same tool.
  • Hosted convenience — live in minutes with no deploy step. Webinar1's clone-and-configure flow takes about 30 minutes the first time.
  • Long track record — well over a decade of automated webinar tooling, training, and support.
  • Done-for-you extras — funnel templates and concierge onboarding on higher tiers.

The honest summary: StealthSeminar is the safer pick if you want a hosted tool with a long history and hand-holding onboarding. Webinar1 is the right call if you want to own what you launch on — and stop paying rent on it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Webinar1 a StealthSeminar 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. StealthSeminar's hybrid live-then-evergreen workflow and its done-for-you onboarding are the two things Webinar1 doesn't try to match.

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 $70–100/month, forever, with StealthSeminar.

Can I migrate from StealthSeminar?+

Yes — 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 let StealthSeminar lapse at renewal.
