The short answer: if you present at least one live webinar and want the recording to keep running on a schedule, buy WebinarJam Basic, not EverWebinar: Basic costs $79 a month billed annually, $948 a year, for 500 attendees, and the WebinarJam pricing page says EverWebinar is included in Basic and above at no additional cost (WebinarJam pricing). EverWebinar on its own costs $99 a month on the annual plan, charged as $1,188 upfront, or $199 month to month (EverWebinar pricing). Both pages were checked on 26 October 2026, and both carry the same footer: Genesis Digital LLC, Las Vegas. Buy EverWebinar alone only if you will never present live and the video already lives on YouTube, Vimeo or behind a direct MP4 link.

Disclosure: I may earn a commission through some links on this site. It does not change what this page says.

Work through these before checkout:

  1. The first year, priced both ways. For example, WebinarJam Basic on annual billing is $79 x 12 = $948, with EverWebinar inside it; EverWebinar alone is $1,188 for the year, or $1,896 upfront for two years, which EverWebinar shows as $79 a month (EverWebinar pricing). Month to month, it is $99 for WebinarJam Basic against $199 for EverWebinar (WebinarJam pricing).
  2. The recording you already have. A past WebinarJam session imports into EverWebinar with its replay, chat and interactions, but only from the same account and only while a WebinarJam subscription is active (broadcast source guide). Anything else has to be hosted on YouTube, Vimeo or a service with a direct MP4 link.
  3. A same-month test. Run the live version and the automated one in the same month and compare sales per session. WebinarJam's tracking keeps live-room and replay-room sales apart, using cookies that last 48 hours (sales tracking). EverWebinar's own pricing page quotes one customer whose conversion rate ran about 10% below live while he ran five times as many sessions; that is one account, so measure yours.

Three things that separate them

Whether anyone has to be on camera

WebinarJam is the live room: a host, presenters brought on stage, a chat that answers back. EverWebinar is the same room with the presenter replaced by a file, a schedule and pre-set interactions, and an optional moderator watching the chat (getting started). If your strongest webinar depends on reading the room, the recording will not. If the same 45 minutes work every time, presenting them live every Tuesday is the expensive habit.

Whose recording it is

The quickest route into EverWebinar is a WebinarJam session, which EverWebinar's homepage says comes across with chat timestamps, polls, handouts and timed offers through Replica Replay. That route has a condition: the help centre requires an active WebinarJam subscription in the same account (source guide). A team that records in Zoom or edits a polished video instead never needs WebinarJam at all.

How live the "live" feeling is allowed to be

EverWebinar's pricing FAQ answers "Will people know the webinar is recorded?" with "That is up to you", and its chat tool lets you add lines under an attendee's name (EverWebinar pricing, chat guide). If you sell to consumers in the EU, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive lists, among practices unfair in all circumstances, falsely stating that a product will only be available for a very limited time in order to elicit an immediate decision (Annex I, point 7 of Directive 2005/29/EC). My view: a countdown that restarts for every viewer of the same recording states a deadline that is false for most of them, so either honour it or leave it off, and label the session as recorded.

What each costs

Checked on 26 October 2026, in US dollars. WebinarJam, on its pricing page: Starter $49 a month or $39 billed annually, which the EverWebinar footnote leaves out; Basic $99 or $79, with EverWebinar; Professional $299 or $229 for 2,000 attendees; Enterprise $499 or $379 for 5,000. EverWebinar alone, on its pricing page: $199 a month, $99 a month as one $1,188 annual charge, or $79 a month as one $1,896 charge every two years, every feature on every option, new customers only.

Follow-up by attendance, then an agent

EverWebinar already sends different follow-ups to people who attended, missed the session or left early, set up once in the product (pricing FAQ). Start there; it costs nothing extra. What it does not do is answer the questions that its question box forwards to your email (chat guide). An n8n workflow can pick each one up with its Gmail Trigger node, check the asker against the registrant and attendee list that the WebinarJam and EverWebinar API returns once Genesis Digital approves your key (API overview), and hand an AI agent the question with your offer notes to draft a reply. The draft waits in the host's mailbox; the host edits and sends it. The webinar follow-up use case builds the same pattern step by step on Livestorm and Demio.

Where the bundle shows

Genesis Digital's EverWebinar pricing page sells the product alone at $1,188 a year without mentioning that its own WebinarJam Basic includes it at $948. And once your automated sessions are built from WebinarJam imports, the help centre makes an active WebinarJam subscription the condition for importing more, so each product keeps the other on the invoice. Before paying anything, watch last month's live recording and note the minute the offer appeared and the minute most of the room had left; if they are the wrong way round, automating that file repeats the problem every day.

Which one, for which job

Choose WebinarJam if your job is presenting live, selling on the call, and then letting the session that sells run itself: Basic gives you both products for less than EverWebinar alone.

Choose EverWebinar alone if your job is running one finished video as a scheduled event, you never present live, and the file already sits on YouTube, Vimeo or an MP4 host.

FAQ

Are WebinarJam and EverWebinar made by the same company?

Yes. Both pricing pages carry the Genesis Digital LLC footer and Las Vegas address, and EverWebinar's login and support links go to app.webinarjam.com and the WebinarJam help desk (EverWebinar pricing, WebinarJam pricing).

Can EverWebinar play a video that was not recorded in WebinarJam?

Yes. It accepts videos hosted on YouTube, Vimeo or any service with a direct MP4 playback link (source guide).

Does WebinarJam Starter include EverWebinar?

The footnote on the pricing page names Basic, Professional and Enterprise as the packages that include it, so plan on Basic, $79 a month billed annually, if you want both.
