Live vs automated — and when to run both
Webinars are still one of the highest-converting sales formats online, and the two platforms below dominate the category. WebinarJam is the live-engagement workhorse; EverWebinar is the 24/7 evergreen counterpart. Most serious operators run both (they bundle at a discount).
WebinarJam is a live webinar platform built to drive sales — marketing-first tooling for coaches, course creators, and online sellers who run interactive live sessions.
Standout: Live Chat — Real-time attendee chat included on every plan at no additional cost, integrated into the live room.
EverWebinar turns recorded webinars into 24/7 automated sales machines — simulated-live scheduling, chat, and conversion tools that run on autopilot across time zones.
Standout: Automated Scheduled Webinars — Run pre-recorded webinars on a fixed schedule across all time zones, 24/7, without being live or logged in.
