AEvent vs. Zoom
Zoom Is the Room. AEvent Runs the Show.
Zoom delivers your webinar. That’s it.
No automation. No funnel logic. No follow-up built in.
If you’re using Zoom without AEvent, you're doing all the heavy lifting
manually or duct-taping tools just to get the basics.
AEvent doesn’t replace Zoom. It turns it into a marketing machine.
From smarter registration to automated replays, CRM tagging, and SMS follow-ups - AEvent wraps around Zoom and gives it teeth.
Why Zoom Alone Just Isn’t Enough
Zoom
Was built for meetings. Not marketing.
It’s rock solid for delivery. You can go live. You can share your screen. You can talk to an audience.
But when it comes to running a webinar that converts — Zoom falls short.
There’s no registration logic.
No automated follow-up.
No behavioral segmentation.
No replay scheduling.
No SMS. No tagging. No funnel triggers.
You’re left juggling multiple tools, or doing everything manually.
Here’s what Zoom doesn’t do:
It’s a great stage.
But without AEvent, you’re shouting into the void, with no system behind you.
Zoom gives you a webinar.
AEvent gives you a funnel.
Before AEvent
AEvent doesn’t just support every webinar format — it makes them easier to run, faster to launch, and better integrated into your marketing funnel.
After AEvent
AEvent doesn’t just support every webinar format — it makes them easier to run, faster to launch, and better integrated into your marketing funnel.

Zoom is your mic. AEvent is your entire sound crew, lighting board, director, and follow-up team.
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.

Key Features:

Zoom
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.
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.
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.
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.

Zoom is the best platform in the world for delivering live video.
But it’s not built to run a marketing funnel.

AEvent doesn’t replace Zoom. It transforms it.
AEvent wraps around Zoom and gives you full-stack control - without changing what you already know and trust.
So don’t downgrade your system to match your tool.
Upgrade your tool to match your vision.
Keep Zoom.
Power it with AEvent.
And finally run webinars that convert.

We Were Using Zoom. Then We Started Making Money With It.
These users didn’t switch webinar platforms. They powered theirs with AEvent — and everything changed.
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.

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.

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.

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.
