The best pre-recorded webinar software
A recorded webinar that plays on schedule, fields chat, shows timed offers and follows up by email is not a video. It is a sales rep that never sleeps, never takes a day off and delivers the same pitch at 2 a.m. as at 2 p.m. The ten tools below automate that job in different ways: dedicated evergreen platforms, live webinar tools with an automation mode, and on-demand specialists. Real starting prices are in every block.
#1
EverWebinar
Best for: Coaches, consultants and course creators running evergreen sales webinars
Visit everwebinar.com
Starting price$99/month (annual, $1,188/year; $199/month monthly)
Free planNo ($1 trial, 30-day money-back guarantee)
EverWebinar is the original evergreen webinar tool, and it still defines the category. You record once, then schedule sessions daily, run just-in-time sessions that start minutes after registration, or leave it on-demand. Chat simulation posts messages at timestamps you choose, polls and handouts fire on cue, and offers appear at the moment you set. The WebinarJam integration imports a full live session, chat history included, with one click.
The honest catch is the price structure. At $99 per month annual it is reasonable; at $199 month-to-month it is not, so commit to the year or look elsewhere. There is no free tier, only the $1 trial and a 30-day guarantee. EverWebinar fits sellers whose webinar pitch is proven and who want it running daily without touching it again.
What we like- Purpose-built for evergreen: scheduled, just-in-time and on-demand sessions
- Chat simulation, timed polls and offers that replay like a live room
- One-click import of WebinarJam sessions with chat timestamps
Watch out for- No free plan and monthly billing at $199 is steep
- The interface shows its age next to newer tools
- Analytics are functional rather than deep
#2
Demio
Best for: Marketers who run live webinars and want automation in the same tool
Visit demio.com
Starting price$45/month (Starter, annual; automated webinars from Growth at $80/month per host)
Free planNo (free trial available)
Demio appeals to marketers who dislike clunky webinar software. The interface is minimal, attendees join from a browser, and the engagement tools (polls, handouts, featured actions) are easy to run. Automated webinars reuse the same setup: schedule replays, send automated reminders, and track attendance and conversions in the same reports as live events.
The honest catch is the tier gate. The $45 Starter plan covers live events only, so automation buyers start at Growth at $80 per month per host, and every extra host multiplies the bill. The 150-attendee room on Growth is modest next to EverWebinar's capacity. Demio fits marketing teams that run both live and automated events and want one simple tool rather than two specialized ones.
What we like- Clean browser-based interface with nothing to install for attendees
- Automated events with registration pages, reminders and analytics
- Strong HubSpot and marketing integrations
Watch out for- Automation is gated to Growth ($80/month per host) and above
- Starter is live-only with 50 attendees and one host
- Per-host pricing adds up for teams
#3
EasyWebinar
Best for: Course creators and coaches wanting an AI-built webinar funnel with CRM
Visit easywebinar.com
Starting price$96/month (Growth plan, annual; automation tier)
Free planNo (7-day full-access trial)
EasyWebinar sells the whole funnel, not just the webinar room. The AI Funnel Builder generates registration pages, email sequences and offers from a prompt, EasyCRM tracks leads without a separate tool, and built-in checkout takes payment inside the webinar. Automated formats cover just-in-time, scheduled, on-demand and simulive, and EasyCast pushes sessions to YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn.
The honest catch is the entry math for automation. The advertised $36 Launch plan runs live webinars only; the automation features that matter here start at Growth at $96 per month annual. The breadth of features also means a longer learning curve than Demio. EasyWebinar fits creators who want landing pages, email, CRM and checkout in one subscription instead of stitching five tools together.
What we like- AI Funnel Builder drafts pages, emails and offers
- EasyCRM and checkout built in from Growth
- Just-in-time, scheduled and on-demand automated formats plus EasyCast multistreaming
Watch out for- Launch at $36/month is live-only, so automation buyers pay $96 and up
- The feature set is broad enough to overwhelm beginners
- Pro ($165) and Scale ($291) climb fast
#4
StealthSeminar
Best for: Marketers running long-lived automated webinar funnels with coaching support
Visit stealthseminar.com
Starting price$69.95/month (Starter plan)
Free planNo (30-day free trial, no credit card)
StealthSeminar has been running automated webinars longer than most competitors have existed. The platform covers scheduled and on-demand automated events, hybrid webinars with live chat, polls, surveys and split testing, plus scarcity tools like countdown timers. What sets it apart is the human layer: live webinar coaching and setup assistance come with the product, which matters for first-time evergreen sellers.
The honest catch is age. The interface looks and feels older than EasyWebinar or Demio, and the integration catalog is thinner. Starter at $69.95 covers 100 simultaneous attendees; growing audiences push you to Professional ($99.95) or Growth ($175). StealthSeminar fits marketers who want a proven automated funnel plus coaching, and who care more about conversion mechanics than modern design.
What we like- Automated and hybrid webinars with detailed analytics
- Split testing, scarcity tools and sales tracking pixels
- Live coaching and done-for-you setup help included
Watch out for- The interface feels dated
- Professional ($99.95) and Growth ($175) needed for bigger audiences and features
- Fewer native CRM integrations than newer rivals
#5
eWebinar
Best for: Sales and success teams turning demos, onboarding and training on-demand
Visit ewebinar.com
Starting price$99/month (Level 1; $1,010/year)
Free planNo (14-day free trial)
eWebinar rethinks the format: instead of pretending a recording is live, it makes on-demand sessions interactive. Every session has chat, answered live when your team is online or asynchronously by email when it is not. Scheduling is flexible: recurring times, specific dates, just-in-time on the quarter hour, or pure on-demand. Unlimited team members on every plan is a standout; most rivals charge per host or seat.
The honest catch is the Level 1 cap: one active eWebinar and 1,000 registrants per month at $99. Teams with several demos or training tracks need Level 2 ($199) or Level 3 ($299). It is also less of a sales-webinar machine than EverWebinar: no fake-live chat simulation, fewer scarcity mechanics. eWebinar fits SaaS and service teams that repeat the same demo or onboarding session and want it available on the prospect's schedule.
What we like- On-demand-first design with live or async chat on every session
- Unlimited team members on every plan
- Recurring, one-time and on-demand scheduling with attendee-timezone support
Watch out for- Built for demos and training more than big sales webinars
- Level 1 caps at 1 active eWebinar and 1,000 registrants per month
- Level 2 ($199) and Level 3 ($299) needed to scale
#6
ProProfs WebinarNinja
Best for: Small businesses and educators wanting live, automated and hybrid webinars
Visit webinarninja.com
Starting price$99/month (Pro plan; automation tier)
Free planNo ($1 for a 14-day trial)
WebinarNinja is now ProProfs WebinarNinja after its acquisition, and the product covers the full spread: live webinars, automated evergreen sessions, series and hybrid formats. Built-in landing pages, email notifications and analytics reduce the need for outside tools, and the newer AI features (co-host, conversion writer, content repurposing) aim at small marketing teams. The interface is friendlier than the old-guard evergreen tools.
The honest catch is the tier structure. Basic at $29 per month handles live webinars only; automated webinars require Pro at $99, with Business at $199 above that. The rebrand also means some older reviews and pricing references no longer match the current site. It fits small teams that want one affordable tool for both live and automated webinars without enterprise complexity.
What we like- Live, automated, series and hybrid webinar types in one tool
- Built-in landing pages, email and analytics
- AI co-host features for engagement and content repurposing
Watch out for- Basic ($29/month) is live-only, so automation costs $99 and up
- The ProProfs acquisition rebranded the product and pricing may keep shifting
- Smaller integration ecosystem than Demio
#7
ClickMeeting
Best for: European teams wanting automated webinars alongside meetings and training
Visit clickmeeting.com
Starting price$45/month (Automated plan, 25 attendees)
Free planNo (14-day free trial)
ClickMeeting is a European all-rounder that treats automated webinars as one event type among several. The Automated plan lets you build a webinar timeline with calls to action, share it on schedule or on-demand, and charge for access. The same account runs live webinars, team meetings and big virtual events, which suits companies that want one vendor for everything. Being EU-based with GDPR-friendly data handling matters for European buyers.
The honest catch is capacity. The Automated plan starts at 25 attendees for $45 per month, and costs rise steeply with audience size, so it is not the cheapest way to run a large evergreen funnel. The breadth of event types also means the automated workflow is less refined than EverWebinar's. ClickMeeting fits EU teams that need automated webinars plus meetings and training under one roof.
What we like- Automated webinars with timelines, calls to action and paid-webinar options
- Also covers live webinars, meetings and large virtual events
- EU-based with strong GDPR positioning
Watch out for- The Automated plan starts at just 25 attendees
- Scaling attendee counts raises the price quickly
- The interface packs many event types, which complicates the simple automated use case
#8
BigMarker
Best for: Marketing teams running simulive and on-demand webinars at scale
Visit bigmarker.com
Starting price$99/month (per bigmarker.com)
Free planNo (demo-led sales)
BigMarker positions itself as the webinar platform for marketers rather than a meeting tool with webinar features. Simulive lets pre-recorded sessions run as scheduled events, on-demand hubs host evergreen content libraries, and the marketing layer (registration pages, email campaigns, CRM sync, analytics) is deeper than most rivals. The headline price on its own site is $99 per month.
The honest catch is the buying process. Public pricing detail is thin and the sales motion is demo-led, so the real quote depends on your attendee counts and feature needs. It is also more platform than a solo creator needs. BigMarker fits marketing teams that run webinars as a demand-generation channel and want simulive and on-demand at real scale.
What we like- Simulive, on-demand and evergreen formats on a browser-based platform
- Marketing depth: landing pages, email, CRM integrations and analytics
- Scales to very large audiences on enterprise tiers
Watch out for- Demo-led sales with no public plan detail beyond the headline price
- The platform is built for marketing teams, so solo creators pay for depth they will not use
- Onboarding is heavier than self-serve tools
#9
LiveWebinar
Best for: Budget teams that want evergreen webinars starting on a free plan
Visit livewebinar.com
Starting price$25.58/month (Pro plan, annual)
Free planYes (free Starter plan)
LiveWebinar is the value pick of this list. The free Starter plan lets a team run real webinars at no cost, and Pro at $25.58 per month annual is among the cheapest paid tiers anywhere. Evergreen webinars arrive on the Plus tier, which review sources place around $42 per month with a small number of evergreen webinars included. Paid webinars, polls, breakout-style classroom mode and whiteboards round out a broad feature set.
The honest catch is positioning. LiveWebinar is a general webinar and meeting platform, not a conversion-focused evergreen machine: no chat simulation, no scarcity tooling, no funnel analytics like the specialists. Templates and design feel plain. It fits budget teams, educators and small businesses that need scheduled replays and on-demand sessions without paying $99 a month.
What we like- A real free plan to start on
- Evergreen webinars included from the Plus tier
- Browser-based with no downloads, plus paid-webinar and classroom features
Watch out for- Evergreen webinars need Plus ($42/month), not the cheapest paid tier
- The brand is less proven for marketing funnels than EverWebinar or Demio
- Interface and templates feel utilitarian
#10
Zoom Webinars
Best for: Organizations already on Zoom that want pre-recorded sessions via Simulive
Visit zoom.com
Starting price$79/month (500 attendees; add-on to a paid Zoom plan)
Free planNo (free trial available)
Zoom Webinars earns its place through Simulive: upload a recording, schedule it like a live event, and engage the audience in real time with chat, polls and Q and A while the recording plays. For companies already running on Zoom, there is no new tool to learn and no new attendee behavior to teach. The base tier at $79 per month covers 500 attendees, and the platform scales far beyond what any other tool here can handle.
The honest catch is that it is an add-on to a paid Zoom plan, so the true cost stacks. The pre-recorded experience is also simpler than EverWebinar or StealthSeminar: no chat simulation, no just-in-time urgency mechanics, no funnel split testing. Zoom Webinars fits organizations standardized on Zoom that need scheduled replays and simulive events, not a dedicated evergreen sales machine.
What we like- Simulive plays pre-recorded content as a scheduled event with live chat, polls and Q and A
- Massive scale (up to 100,000 attendees) and familiar interface
- Webinars Plus adds on-demand video and production tools
Watch out for- It is an add-on, so you also pay for the underlying Zoom plan
- Pre-recorded features on the base tier are thinner than dedicated evergreen tools
- Pricing scales with attendee capacity
Pre-recorded webinar software is not one thing. Automated (or evergreen) webinars run on a schedule and mimic a live event: registration, reminders, a start time, chat, offers. EverWebinar and StealthSeminar built their names on this format. On-demand webinars have no schedule: the viewer watches now, like eWebinar's model, with chat answered live or later. Simulive sits between: a recording broadcast at a set time with live interaction, which is what Zoom Webinars and BigMarker offer.
The format decides the tool. Selling a course or coaching program on a pitch webinar? Automated with just-in-time sessions converts best, because urgency drives attendance. Running product demos for prospects in different time zones? On-demand wins, because nobody wants to book a demo for Thursday. Hosting a polished keynote replay for a large audience? Simulive gives the event feel without the live risk.
Some tools cover several formats and some do one well. eWebinar is the on-demand specialist. EverWebinar and StealthSeminar are the automated specialists. Zoom and BigMarker lead on simulive. EasyWebinar and Demio cover automated as a mode inside a broader platform. Match the format to your use case before comparing prices, because the cheapest tool in the wrong format is wasted money.
Start with the honest question: is your presentation proven? Evergreen tools multiply whatever your webinar already does. If the live version converts, automation scales it. If it does not, automation scales the disappointment. Run it live a few times first, then automate the winner.
Next, count the mechanics your funnel needs. Chat simulation, timed offers, polls, scarcity timers, split testing: EverWebinar and StealthSeminar lead here. If you need checkout inside the webinar and a built-in CRM, EasyWebinar's Growth tier covers it. If chat must be answered by a human, eWebinar's live-or-async chat model is the honest choice.
Then check the caps. Registrant limits, active webinar counts and attendee caps are where cheap plans get expensive: eWebinar Level 1 allows one active eWebinar, Demio Starter allows 50 live attendees, ClickMeeting's Automated plan starts at 25. Model your real audience for six months out, not today.
Finally, weigh the trial. StealthSeminar gives 30 days with no credit card, EverWebinar offers a $1 trial with a 30-day guarantee, EasyWebinar gives 7 days of full access. Use the trial to run a real session end to end, including the email follow-up, because the follow-up is where evergreen webinars make their money.
How we chose
We started with the categories buyers search: pre-recorded webinar software, evergreen webinar software, automated webinar software and on-demand webinar platforms. We kept ten tools with real automated, on-demand or simulive playback, and noted where automation is gated to a higher tier. For each one we opened the vendor's official homepage, checked the vendor's own pricing page for plans and trial terms, and compared scheduling formats, chat options and company-size fit against public reviews on G2, Capterra and practitioner discussion on Reddit. Where a price could not be verified on the vendor's page we wrote "See website" rather than guessing.
Frequently asked questions
What is pre-recorded webinar software?
It is software that plays a recorded presentation as a scheduled, just-in-time or on-demand webinar, with registration, reminders, chat, polls and follow-up emails automated. Attendees get a structured experience; the host does not present live.
How much does evergreen webinar software cost?
Dedicated evergreen tools run $69.95 to $99 per month at entry: StealthSeminar at $69.95, EverWebinar and eWebinar at $99. Automation tiers inside broader platforms cost $80 to $96 per month (Demio Growth, EasyWebinar Growth). LiveWebinar is the budget outlier with a free plan and Pro at $25.58 per month.
Do attendees know the webinar is pre-recorded?
That depends on the tool and your choice. Some tools simulate a live room with chat and attendee counts; others, like eWebinar, are transparent that the session is on-demand with live chat support. Many marketers disclose it ("watch the training on-demand") and convert fine.
What is the difference between automated, on-demand and simulive webinars?
Automated webinars run on a schedule and mimic live events with reminders and start times. On-demand webinars play whenever the viewer clicks, with no schedule. Simulive broadcasts a recording at a set time with live chat and polls running alongside it.
Can I run automated webinars and live webinars in one tool?
Yes. Demio, EasyWebinar, ProProfs WebinarNinja, ClickMeeting, BigMarker and Zoom Webinars all run live events plus automated, on-demand or simulive formats. EverWebinar, StealthSeminar and eWebinar focus on the pre-recorded side.
Which pre-recorded webinar tool has a free plan?
LiveWebinar is the only tool on this list with a permanent free plan. The rest offer trials: StealthSeminar gives 30 days, eWebinar and ClickMeeting give 14 days, EasyWebinar gives 7 days of full access, and EverWebinar and ProProfs WebinarNinja offer $1 trials.
