12 Best Automated Webinar Software in 2026

Webinars sell. Running them live, every week, wears you out.

You show up at the same time, give the same pitch, answer the same questions, and hope the Wi-Fi holds. Then you do it again next Tuesday.

Automated webinar software fixes that. You record your best presentation once, and the software runs it on a schedule or on demand, with chat, polls and offers firing at just the right moment.

We checked the official site, pricing page and demo of every serious option, and kept the 12 worth your money in 2026, starting with our top pick, Webinarloop.

Quick comparison

Here's how all 12 compare at a glance. Prices are the lowest plan that includes automated or on-demand webinars, checked in October 2026.

How we picked these tools

What counts as automated webinar software?

Not just a recording on a replay page. We wanted tools that can play a pre-recorded webinar on a schedule or on demand, and make it feel like an event.

So we looked at three things. How convincing the automated experience is, from chat to timed offers. How much it helps you get people to show up. And what it costs once the trial ends, because many tools hide automation behind their pricier plans.

Prices marked with * came from third-party sites because the vendor doesn't publish them.

1. Webinarloop

The Webinarloop homepage

Most tools here make you choose. Cheap, or good at automation.

Webinarloop gives you both.

You upload a recorded webinar, and it runs it for you. Pick scheduled replays, on-demand webinars that start the moment someone arrives, or just-like-live sessions with simulated chat and events.

Then it sells. Clickable call-to-action buttons pop up at the right moment, with optional timers and scarcity countdowns, and viewers can buy right inside the webinar.

Want engagement? Add live polls, surveys, question boxes, info-pops and sidebar graphics. You can moderate chat, answer questions and post links too.

And getting people to show up? That's covered.

Webinarloop includes dozens of sign-up and thank-you page templates, a drag-and-drop page builder, embeddable opt-in forms and automated email and SMS reminders.

It connects to AWeber, GetResponse, Mailchimp and other autoresponders, plus Zapier, and supports Facebook and Google pixels and Google Analytics. Analytics show retention, drop-off and engagement.

It's web-based, with no hosting needed. Your webinars live on a Webinarloop subdomain, or on your own custom domain. Sub-users with their own permissions let a team or clients share the work.

Best for: small businesses, coaches, course creators and agencies who want evergreen webinars without a big monthly bill.

Why it's the best value

Let's talk money.

EverWebinar costs $199 a month, or $1,188 a year. eWebinar starts at $99 a month for a single active webinar. Demio and EasyWebinar keep automation off their entry plans, so you're paying over $110 a month to get it.

Webinarloop? $17 a month, or $67 for a whole year. That's about $5.58 a month.

For less than the cost of one month of EverWebinar, you could run Webinarloop for almost three years.

And it's not a stripped-down plan. You get automated and just-like-live webinars, simulated chat, timed CTAs, polls, page templates, email and SMS reminders, integrations, custom domains and commercial rights to run webinars for clients.

Plus a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it with a real audience first.

Pricing: Elite Monthly is $17/month and Elite Yearly is $67/year. Plans include commercial rights, 10 webinars, multi-user access, up to 250 attendees per webinar, free plugins, free upgrades and 24/6 chat support, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Pros

• Automated, on-demand and just-like-live webinars

Livestorm is a slick, browser-based platform for live and on-demand events.

The pricing is unusual. You buy attendee credits rather than a flat plan.

GoTo Webinar is one of the oldest names in webinars.

But it's a corporate tool at heart. Don't expect sales-funnel tricks like scarcity timers.

Best for: companies that already run live webinars and want occasional simulive sessions.

Pricing: GoTo's pricing page didn't load for us. According to a third-party breakdown from August 2026, Reach is $69/month ($59 billed yearly) for up to 500 participants, and Elevate is $129/month ($103 yearly). Verify on goto.com before buying.

BigMarker is built for big companies running big events.

Its Enterprise plan includes Simulive, Evergreen and 24-7 webinars, plus webinar series, with up to 10,000 live attendees. Basic covers live and on-demand webinars only.

It's powerful. It's also not something you buy with a credit card on a Sunday afternoon.

Best for: enterprise marketing teams running virtual and hybrid events.

Pros

• Evergreen, Simulive and always-on 24-7 rooms

• Full virtual event features

Cons

How to choose the right automated webinar software

Not sure which one fits? Start here.

Check where automation starts. Demio, EasyWebinar and BigMarker all keep automated webinars off their cheapest plans. The price you see first is often not the price you'll pay.

Make it feel like an event. Simulated chat, timed offers and polls are what turn a replay into a webinar. EverWebinar, StealthSeminar and Webinarloop are strong here.

Get people to show up. Email and SMS reminders matter as much as the webinar itself.

Count your attendees. Most plans cap how many people can watch at once. Pick one that fits your real numbers, not your dream numbers.

Test with a money-back window. Run a real webinar to a small list before you commit for a year.

Frequently asked questions

What is automated webinar software?

It plays a pre-recorded webinar on a schedule or on demand, and adds features like chat, polls, timed offers and reminders, so it works like a live event without you being there.

Is it okay to run a pre-recorded webinar as if it were live?

Yes, many businesses do it. Just be honest with your audience. Don't claim to be live if you aren't, and answer chat questions afterwards, by email if needed.

What is the cheapest automated webinar software?

Among the tools we reviewed, Webinarloop has the lowest price at $17 a month or $67 a year. Most rivals with automation charge roughly $50 to $200 a month.

Do I need hosting for automated webinars?

Not with web-based tools like Webinarloop, EverWebinar or eWebinar. They host the webinar room and sign-up pages for you.

So, which one should you pick?

If you're a big company, BigMarker and GoTo Webinar are safe choices. If you have budget and a proven funnel, EverWebinar and eWebinar are excellent.

$67 a year. That's it.
