AEvent vs. WebinarKit
Pre-Recorded Delivery Meets a Hard Ceiling
If WebinarKit feels like the end of the road - limited formats, surface-level logic, forced templates. AEvent’s naturally what comes next.
Why AEvent Wins
WebinarKit is clean, simple, and fast, until your funnel asks for more than a video and a registration page.
You get limited formats (no Zoom, no GoTo), branding tied to paid higher-tiers, and automation that stops at surface-level triggers. Want to segment based on replay behavior? Trigger logic off CTA interaction? Stream via edge-CDN with true Live chat into Slack? You’re out of luck, or reaching for workarounds.
AEvent gives marketers what WebinarKit leaves out:
Real live delivery via Zoom + Got
Like-Live playback inside Zoom with real-time CTAs, polls, and chat
Evergreen via AStream with global edge streaming
Full timeline automation (email, SMS, tags, webhooks)
Funnel builder freedom - no page restrictions, full embed logic
65+ native integrations with real-time CRM/ESP sync
Support that responds in under 5 minutes 24 hours a day
If you’ve outgrown pre-scheduled fake-live and Zapier chains, AEvent is what’s next.

Pricing AEvent Gives You Page Freedom. WebinarKit Gives You Popups.

WebinarKit Hosts a Video. AEvent Delivers a Conversion Engine.
AEvent:
Gives you full-format freedom - without switching platforms.
Live events run natively via Zoom or GoTo, no embed hacks or clunky apps.
Like-Live delivery runs inside Zoom or Goto, giving you real chat, real CTAs, and real results — using a pre-recorded video as your "presenter."
Evergreen playback happens through AStream, AEvent’s CDN-powered delivery network, not just a video upload slapped into a player.
And hybrid events? That’s AEvent’s sweet spot - pre-recorded segments with real-time chat, dynamic CTAs, and even live handoffs.
Key Features:
WebinarKit lets you play a video.
AEvent lets you build a webinar that
performs, in any format, anywhere.
WebinarKit
Delivers one thing well, pre-recorded, fake-live playback.
You upload a video, set a time, and it plays as if live. But if you want to run an actual live event, swap in a host, or mix formats (like live Q&A on an evergreen pitch), WebinarKit doesn’t support it.
Key Features:
AEvent:
Doesn’t wrap around your funnel. It plugs straight into it.
Use your own registration page, built in anything: WordPress, ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, Webflow, Kajabi, Framer, and inject AEvent logic wherever you need it.
Want to embed a form? Done.
Want to trigger a countdown tied to the attendee’s time zone? Done.
Want the replay to display dynamically based on behavior or campaign logic? It’s native.
All data pipes straight into your CRM or ESP, in real time.
Key Features:
If WebinarKit is a landing page with a video player,
AEvent is an operator’s dream; embedded, personalized, and fully automated.
WebinarKit
Locks you into its flow.
You can use their templates or embed their pop-up forms, but you can’t fully control the registration page, confirmation logic, or replay experience. Even when self-hosting, you’re still stuck piping leads through their backend URLs.
Want to inject dynamic countdowns, run native calendar logic, or personalize pages with contact variables?
Forget it.
Key Features:
AEvent:
Brings real engagement, live or evergreen, host or not.
Inside Zoom or GoTo, chat, and Q&A function natively; with real people interacting in real time.
For Like-Live and Evergreen? You can simulate chat, yes, but also toggle chat visibility, drop Slack-powered Q&A to your team, and trigger CTAs based on actual timeline logic.
You don’t just show a button, you show the right button to the right person, when it matters most.
Key Features:
WebinarKit lets you script the illusion.
AEvent gives you the power to engage, and close; across formats, funnels, and teams.
WebinarKit
Engagement looks good, until you realize it only works in one direction.
You get emoji reactions, pre-scripted chat, basic polls, and clickable CTAs.
But it’s all pre-loaded.
No live moderation. No dynamic responses. No mid-webinar logic changes. No way to react in real time or escalate to your sales team when someone’s hot.
You’re not engaging — you’re faking it.
Key Features:
AEvent:
Delivers the real thing, no buffering, no guessing, no faking it.
Live webinars run natively inside Zoom or GoTo — trusted, scalable, and rock-solid.
Like-Live runs inside Zoom, giving you live chat, live polls, live Q&A — even though your “presenter” is pre-recorded.
Evergreen runs via AStream — AEvent’s own edge-CDN delivery layer, optimized for 1080p playback across the globe.
It’s not a browser stream — it’s a broadcast-grade system.
Key Features:
WebinarKit uploads a file.
AEvent delivers a flawless, format-native experience, every time, anywhere in the world.
WebinarKit
Looks sleek, but behind the curtain, it’s just a video upload with a playback wrapper.
You upload your MP4. That’s your “webinar.”
There’s no edge-CDN delivery, no native Zoom or GoTo integration, and no hardware-grade reliability for simulive playback.
Everything runs in a browser player, quality depends on encoding, and if your connection dips, so does your delivery.
You’re not broadcasting. You’re embedding.
Key Features:
AEvent:
Skips the CSV. It fires the sequence.
Every action, from “clicked CTA at minute 23” to “watched 90% but dropped before pitch”; can trigger a tag, email, SMS, webhook, or CRM update in real time.
Replay behavior is tracked down to the second. CTA visibility is logged. Page visits post-event are piped into your ESP.
And all of it is visual, no coding, no guessing.
Key Features:
WebinarKit shows you stats.
AEvent builds the follow-up while the webinar’s still running.
WebinarKit
Shows You What Happened. AEvent Lets You Act On It.
WebinarKit gives you dashboards: who registered, who showed up, how long they
stayed. You’ll see CTA clicks, drop-off graphs, and poll participation. It looks nice.
But none of it triggers anything.
No automated actions.
No behavior-based segmentation.
No tagging by watched time, clicked CTA, or replay re-engagement.
Want to follow up with leads who watched 75% but didn’t convert? Export the CSV or build a Zap.
Key Features:
AEvent:
Doesn’t just integrate, it commands.
You get 65+ native integrations including: ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, GHL, Twilio, Sendlane, ConvertKit, MailerLite, and more.
Your automation lives inside a visual timeline. Not just “before and after,” but minute-by-minute, behavior-by-behavior.
Drop in a CTA at 17:00.
Trigger a tag at 17:03.
Fire a Facebook retargeting pixel at 17:07 if they didn’t click.
All native. No middleman.
Key Features:
WebinarKit connects things.
AEvent automates your entire stack, down to the second.
WebinarKit
Connects. AEvent Orchestrates.
WebinarKit has integrations, sure.
You’ll find tags, webhooks, even ESP sync…
But you can’t automate the funnel.
Most logic stops at “after webinar ends.” Want to trigger SMS after 20 minutes watched? Tag leads based on CTA visibility? Push drop-off data to your CRM the second it happens?
Not happening.
Not without Zapier.
Not without compromise.
Key Features:

WebinarKit Is Smooth… Until You Need Support.
WebinarKit makes setup easy, until you need to go deeper.
Need help wiring up advanced logic? Hitting a glitch before your launch window? Looking for someone to step in and guide you through it?
You’re stuck with email tickets.
No live chat. No real-time support. No actual onboarding unless you’re paying extra.
And if it’s the weekend? You're waiting until Monday or sifting through old help docs and community threads.
Key Features:
AEvent:

You get every major feature at every level:
Key Features:
WebinarKit is low-cost until your funnel outgrows the box.
AEvent is built for scale from the start.
WebinarKit
Looks cheap, until you need power.
WebinarKit starts at $67/month and for that price, you’ll get unlimited webinars, registrants, and attendees. It’s a solid entry point.
But if you want full video hosting, more than one team seat, deeper branding, or enhanced integrations, the price climbs quickly.
You’ll need their $99/month “Professional” plan to get video storage + white-labeling.
And their “Enterprise” plan to bring in multiple users.
Add in Zapier for automation.
A separate SMS provider.
Custom domain support.
Now you’re stacking cost and complexity, fast.

Why AEvent Wins
WebinarKit is fast and friendly, until your funnel grows up.
You start with a few replays, maybe a lead magnet or two. But soon,
you’re duct-taping Vimeo, Zapier, Twilio, and tagging logic that’s held
together with hope.
You want to:
-
Go live when it matters, not just pre-record. (Hybrid)
- Trigger SMS when someone watches the pitch, not two days later.
- Send the right replay to the right lead , without manual segmentation.
- Track drop-offs and follow-up instantly, not export CSVs.

From “It Works” to “It Converts”
Marketers who switched from WebinarKit say they finally got control, and finally got results.
Our attendance rate has gone up 50%...
We've seen attendance rates reach as high as 85% which is practically unheard of! We've used this in one multi-million launch and many other smaller promotions as well.It's a fantastic system and I highly recommend it.
Mark Ling

8 tools replaced by ONE...
Before AEvent we had to kludge together 8 different tools. It felt impossible to manage, so I gave up on Webinars until I discovered AEvent. It's amazing to have my webinar funnels automated and centralized in one App.

Millions in extra revenue!
25% show rate with 10k attendees...
CONFESSION: I ignored Winter & AEvent For 3 Years.
Robby Blanchard one day nonchalantly messages me that he got a 25% show rate on 10,000+ registrants who had registered for 2+ WEEKS.
Needless to say - I called Winter immediately and the results have been ABSOLUTELY incredible - We saw instant results & have cancelled all other Apps.
Anik Singal
CEO - Lurn
50% Attendance Increase...
Twice a week, I use AEvent to run affiliate promotions to my partner’s offer.
Previously, I had just been using only GoToWebinar and some really basic email marketing.
2x Sales Conversions...
Literally the first month we started using AEvent, we doubled our ad spend. That was back in June 2022, and we’ve since doubled it again.
Before using AEvent we had a lead to conversion rate of 1.44%. As soon as we started using AEvent, it increased to 2.38%.
The unit economics of our whole business has changed. Now we’re able to spend more to acquire a lead because now they’re twice as likely to become a customer.
