AEvent vs. WebinarJam / EverWebinar
What happens when you automate your webinar… and watch conversions get cut in half?
That’s exactly what happened in 2016, when Winter Valko — after running a high-converting live webinar through GoToWebinar — moved it to EverWebinar.
“I tried to automate it... and my conversions dipped. The live energy was gone. The show-up rate was gone. The close was gone.”
He needed to automate. He was traveling. He’d nailed the message. But it didn’t matter — the tech wasn’t built to perform. And to make things worse, email open rates were already sliding. In 2007, a list and an email got people to show up. By 2016? That wasn’t enough.
So he built what was missing — a platform that lets marketers:
Automate like-live experiences without sacrificing conversion
Deliver across SMS, MMS, email, WhatsApp, Messenger, push, and voicemail — not just email
Control every moment in the customer journey — from signup to replay click to post-webinar follow-up
That platform became AEvent.
And today, it replaces the patchwork of WebinarJam + EverWebinar with a single source of truth — designed from the ground up for performance

AEvent:
Streamlined and Strategy-Ready
AEvent makes webinar delivery fast, flexible, and fully aligned to your funnel. Whether you’re running a live event, a like-live replay, or a fully automated sequence, AEvent handles it all — without the technical overhead.
For live webinars, AEvent integrates natively with Zoom and GoToWebinar, so you get the reliability of the world’s best platforms with full control over branding, reminders, segmentation, and follow-up. You can run hybrid events with live intros, pre-recorded content, and live Q&A — no patchwork needed. Like-Live via Zoom: Deliver pre-recorded webinars with live Q&A and host-triggered polls, chat, and CTAs — all run inside Zoom with AEvent orchestrating the flow. For fully automated funnels, AStream offers pure evergreen delivery — perfect for just-in-time webinars, replay pages, and always-on acquisition.
The entire setup can be done in minutes — not hours — with intuitive workflows that adapt to the format you choose.
Key Features:
AEvent doesn’t just support every webinar format — it makes them easier to run, faster to launch, and better integrated into your marketing funnel.

BigMarker: Robust but Cumbersome
BigMarker supports live webinars for up to 50,000 attendees, on-demand sessions for flexible access, and evergreen webinars for recurring delivery. Its “Studio” module adds TV-style overlays and transitions — ideal for high-production events. Automation includes scheduled reminders, timed polls, and pre-recorded content, but the setup process is notoriously complex. Building out an event often requires multiple configuration steps, technical workarounds, and deep familiarity with the platform. Users frequently report lag or sync issues during large live sessions, which can disrupt the experience.

AEvent:
Built to Work with Your Funnel
AEvent doesn’t force you into fixed templates or proprietary page builders. Instead, it integrates directly with your existing funnel — whether you're using ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, WordPress, or anything else. You host your own landing, confirmation, and replay pages. AEvent gives you fully customizable form code and dynamic page elements (like time zone-aware countdowns and start dates) that update automatically based on your event. This means your pages look exactly how you want — and never go out of sync.
On the backend, AEvent powers full-funnel automation. You can tag users, trigger actions in your ESP or CRM, send emails and SMS (via ActiveCampaign, Twilio, etc.), and dynamically segment attendees based on behavior — all without bolting on extra tools. You’re not locked into a rigid email editor or limited sequence builder — you design the flow, AEvent handles the orchestration.
Key Features:
AEvent doesn’t just support your marketing stack — it integrates with it deeply. You control the front-end experience and the back-end sequencing, all without sacrificing design, branding, or flexibility.
BigMarker
Effective but Restrictive
BigMarker offers a basic suite of webinar marketing tools — customizable landing pages, embeddable registration forms, and one-click social sharing. It provides around 15 templates for registration pages, but users often cite limited design flexibility and outdated styling. Features like custom domains, advanced form logic, and drip campaigns are reserved for higher-tier plans. While it covers the basics like automated reminder emails and calendar integrations, marketers looking to control branding or execute complex sequences often hit friction or need outside tools.

AEvent:
Orchestrated Engagement That Works — Even When You’re Not Live
AEvent was built to create strategic, scalable engagement — not gimmicks. Whether your event is live, Like-Live, or fully automated, AEvent gives you tools that keep attendees interacting, asking, and converting — even if your team isn’t on camera.
- For live and simulive Zoom webinars, AEvent can send automated chat messages and lower-third CTAs during key moments — including timed nudges, offer drops, and reminders.
- Full Zoom ↔ Slack integration, so questions asked during Zoom webinars route to your Slack workspace and can be answered directly from there….
- During AStream (evergreen) delivery, AEvent enables chat simulations, clickable overlays, timeline-synced CTAs, and optional Slack-powered real-time support — meaning you can answer audience questions from Slack without logging into the webinar room.
This isn’t about flooding the screen with widgets. AEvent makes engagement flexible, branded, and measurable — without requiring your team to be online for every session.

Built on the Best, Powered by Its Own Edge Network
Reliable but Inconsistent
AEvent doesn’t reinvent the wheel — it stacks proven delivery platforms with its own infrastructure to give your attendees the smoothest experience possible, every time.
- Live webinars run natively through Zoom or GoToWebinar, giving you the reliability, scalability, and familiar UX of the world’s most trusted webinar platforms — enhanced by AEvent’s automation and funnel orchestration.
- Like-Live Zoom sessions are fully automated from AEvent’s backend, using dedicated machines to trigger high-quality video playback that mimics a real presenter. Attendees never see the difference — and you avoid screen share jank entirely.
- AStream, AEvent’s evergreen delivery platform, is powered by its own edge-node CDN (via Bunny.net), giving it global distribution with hundreds of points of presence — so attendees in India, South America, or anywhere else see a crisp 1080p stream without buffering.
Whether you’re sharing a talking head video, a dense screen demo, or a high-motion replay, AEvent’s infrastructure delivers the quality you expect — without forcing you to upload to third-party players or embed iframes from Vimeo or YouTube.
BigMarker delivers HD video and audio, supports live streaming to Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and includes a “Studio” mode for pro-level overlays and transitions. But the polish is often skin-deep. Users regularly report lag, audio/video sync issues, and quality drops — especially during high-attendance events. Screen sharing defaults to compressed frame rates, and without dedicated bandwidth, performance can become unpredictable. Branding controls are decent, but only unlocked at higher tiers.

Built for Real Segmentation — and Real Stack Integration
Functional but Basic
AEvent gives you powerful insights without trapping you in its interface. While the native dashboard shows granular stats like attendance duration, timeline drop-off, and CTA click rates, the real value is in how it pipes data into the tools you already use.
You can segment by:
- Time watched (e.g., “attended 30+ minutes”)
- Presence at key CTA timestamps (e.g., “present at 45:00”)
- Page behavior (e.g., “visited offer page, didn’t hit confirmation page”)…
Those audience sets can then trigger automated actions in ActiveCampaign, GoHighLevel, Twilio, HubSpot, or wherever your workflows live — so your team can keep working inside your existing CRM, ESP, or ad platform without logging into AEvent at all.
You don’t need to “learn a new analytics tool.” AEvent makes sure the right tags, triggers, and segmentation hit the systems that already power your funnel.
BigMarker tracks the basics — who registered, who attended, and how long they stayed. You’ll get session-level reporting on chat, poll responses, and speaker engagement. But the UI has a reputation for being dense and unintuitive. Behavioral segmentation is limited, and pushing data into your CRM or ESP often means downloading CSVs or relying on Zapier. The result: plenty of data, but no real automation behind it.

Integrations That Actually Work — and Stay Working
Extensive but Restricted
AEvent doesn’t try to “out-count” the competition. It focuses on tight, stable integrations that marketers actually use — and wires them together through a visual timeline builder that makes logic simple and transparent.
You can connect Zoom, GoToWebinar, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, Twilio, WhatsApp, Sendlane, GoHighLevel, and more. Whether it’s a webhook, a native app, or a direct field sync, AEvent lets you push and pull data at every step of the event journey — without writing code.
Instead of stitching together triggers in Zapier, you define exactly when an action should fire — and AEvent’s automation layer handles the rest. Need to enroll a user in a CRM sequence only if they watched 75% of your webinar? Easy. Want to drop a high-intent lead into a Google Sheet for your sales team the moment they hit 75% watch time or click your main CTA? Done.
And unlike BigMarker, AEvent’s white-labeling isn’t locked behind a paywall. Custom domains, fully branded confirmation pages, and clean registration flows on your existing page builder are standard — not premium.
BigMarker advertises integrations with 500+ tools via Zapier, supporting CRMs, ESPs, and marketing apps. But unlocking true customization — like custom branding, white-labeled domains, or drip campaign logic — often requires a high-tier plan or custom dev work. The interface favors quantity over usability, and building stable, reliable workflows often means looping in developers or relying on external support.

Fast Setup. Real Support. No Downloads.
Intuitive but Inconsistent
AEvent is built for speed — not training wheels. It runs fully in the browser on any device. No apps. No attendee friction. The platform uses a visual logic builder to help you configure emails, timers, triggers, and follow-up without digging through menus or writing code. You’re not forced into rigid templates or workflows. You’re just live — fast.
And when you need help? You won’t wait.
AEvent offers 24/5 live human support — 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday — with under 5-minute average response times. Whether you’re launching a new sequence at 2:00 AM or troubleshooting event logic during business hours, real people are there to back you up. After hours (on weekends), light AI support stays online to answer basic questions until human coverage resumes.
BigMarker runs in the browser on desktop, but requires a mobile app for full functionality on phones. While its interface looks polished, the backend is cluttered. Setting up automation, integrations, or multi-step logic often means bouncing between tabs — and the learning curve shows up fast. Support is offered via chat or email, but users report inconsistent response times, especially during live events or high-pressure moments.

Transparent Pricing. Serious Value.
Opaque and Costly
AEvent publishes its pricing — no demo required to find out what things cost. Plans start at $95/month, and scale based on automation needs, usage volume, and server hours — not feature gating.
BigMarker doesn’t list prices on its website. You’ll need to book a sales call just to get a quote. Plans are tiered by attendee volume (from 1,000 to 50,000+) and gated features. Essentials like white-label branding, closed captions, custom domains, and even email integrations are often locked behind enterprise-only pricing. A limited free trial exists, but access is restricted — and costs scale up fast for teams that want real marketing automation.

AEvent turns webinars into full-stack conversion machines—optimized for live performance, timeline visibility, and follow-through automation. WebinarJam/EverWebinar? They deliver video—but they leave the funnel up to you.

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.

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.

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.
