How to Switch from BigMarker to WebinarKit: A 2026 Migration Guide

You're here because you suspect there's a better way to run your webinars. You've been using BigMarker, a powerful but often complex and costly platform, and you're wondering if the grass is greener on the other side. Specifically, you're curious about WebinarKit and how a switch might impact your business's efficiency, sales, and bottom line.

Let's be direct: you're right to be curious. In 2026, thousands of businesses are making the strategic move from subscription-based platforms like BigMarker to smarter, more cost-effective solutions. The constant drain of high monthly fees, the complexity of navigating a sprawling feature set, and the desire for next-generation AI tools are pushing entrepreneurs, coaches, and marketers to seek a better alternative.

This guide is your complete roadmap. We're not just going to tell you why you should switch. We're going to show you, step-by-step, how to switch from BigMarker to WebinarKit seamlessly. We'll cover data export, content recreation using powerful AI, funnel building, and the final, satisfying step of canceling that recurring BigMarker bill for good. By the end of this guide, you'll have a clear plan to migrate your entire webinar strategy to a platform built for profit and automation, saving you thousands of dollars per year in the process.

Why Businesses Are Switching from BigMarker to WebinarKit in 2026

Before we dive into the nuts and bolts of the migration process, it's crucial to understand the fundamental reasons driving this shift. This isn't just about changing software; it's about upgrading your entire business model. Here’s why savvy business owners are choosing WebinarKit over BigMarker.

Reason 1: Astronomical Cost vs. Lifetime Ownership

This is the most immediate and impactful difference. BigMarker operates on a traditional SaaS model with tiered monthly or annual subscriptions that can become incredibly expensive, especially as you scale.

• BigMarker's Pricing (as of 2026): Their popular plans often start at $99/month for limited features and quickly jump to $199/month (Premier) or even $399/month (Premier Plus) and beyond. These prices are often per host, meaning costs multiply if you have a team. Over a year, you could easily spend $2,400 to $4,800 or more, with that cost repeating every single year.
• WebinarKit's Pricing: WebinarKit offers a revolutionary lifetime deal (LTD). You pay a single, one-time fee and you own the software forever, including all future updates. There are no monthly bills, no recurring subscriptions, and no per-host fees. You can get started for just a $1 trial.

The Math is Simple: A single year on BigMarker's Premier plan ($199/mo) costs $2,388. That same investment secures you lifetime access to WebinarKit, saving you that amount every single year thereafter. For businesses generating over $500M in sales through our platform, this model has proven to be a massive competitive advantage.

Reason 2: The Next-Generation AI Advantage

While BigMarker has incorporated some AI features, WebinarKit is built with AI at its core, designed to automate not just presentation but also sales and engagement in ways that are years ahead of the competition.

• AI Webinar Builder: BigMarker requires you to build your webinars manually. With WebinarKit, you can enter a single prompt—like "a webinar on selling a high-ticket coaching program for real estate agents"—and the AI generates a complete, high-converting webinar for you. This includes the full script, professional slides, and even voiceover, all in under 5 minutes. This feature alone drastically cuts down your content creation time.
• AI Avatar Narration: Want a perfect presentation without ever turning on your camera? WebinarKit allows you to clone your own face and voice or use a library of stock AI avatars (including themed ones like Santa for holiday promotions) to narrate your slides. It's a game-changer for camera-shy presenters or for creating polished content at scale.
• The AI Sales Agent: This is WebinarKit's killer feature and the single biggest reason for a conversion lift. This AI agent works 24/7 inside your live and automated webinars. It answers attendee questions, overcomes sales objections, provides links, and gently guides prospects toward purchasing your offer. Our users report up to a 5x increase in conversions directly because of this feature. BigMarker simply has nothing that compares to this level of automated sales power.

Reason 3: True All-in-One Simplicity

BigMarker is a vast platform with modules for virtual events, conferences, and more. This can lead to a cluttered, confusing interface for users who just want to run effective sales and marketing webinars. You often still need separate tools for advanced email marketing or SMS.

WebinarKit is purpose-built to be an all-in-one solution for webinar marketing, eliminating the need for other expensive software:

• Built-in Funnel Builder: Create beautiful, high-converting registration pages, thank you pages, and replay pages with a simple drag-and-drop editor and proven templates.
• Built-in Email & SMS Automation: Forget Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign. WebinarKit has a powerful automation engine built right in. Set up pre-webinar reminders, post-webinar follow-ups, and long-term nurture sequences with both email and SMS to maximize attendance and sales.
• No Hidden Modules or Upsells: Everything you need to run profitable live and automated webinars is included. The interface is clean, intuitive, and designed for marketers, not event planners.

Reason 4: Unmatched Automation Power

While BigMarker offers automated webinars, it's an add-on to their live-first platform. Automated webinars are in WebinarKit's DNA. The platform is engineered from the ground up to create a "set it and forget it" sales machine that runs 24/7/365.

The combination of just-in-time scheduling, evergreen availability, the AI Sales Agent handling objections around the clock, and built-in sales funnels means you can build a truly passive income stream. BigMarker's automation feels like a feature; WebinarKit's automation feels like a complete business strategy.

Pre-Migration Checklist: What to Prepare Before You Switch

A smooth migration is all about preparation. By gathering your assets from BigMarker ahead of time, you'll make the transition to WebinarKit quick and painless. Think of this as packing up your old house before the moving truck arrives.

1. Audit Your BigMarker Content

Start by making a list of all your active webinars. Create a simple spreadsheet with columns for:

• Webinar Name
• Webinar Type (Live, On-Demand/Automated, Series)
• Webinar Topic/Goal
• Associated Offer/CTA
• Current Registration Page URL

This audit gives you a clear inventory of what needs to be moved and helps you prioritize the most important webinars to migrate first.

2. Export Your Key Data from BigMarker

Log in to your BigMarker account and systematically download everything you need. BigMarker's interface can be tricky, so you may need to go into individual webinar reports to find some of these assets.

• Contact Lists: This is your most valuable asset. Export your registrant and attendee lists for each webinar. These will typically be downloaded as a CSV file. Make sure to include all available data fields (name, email, registration date, etc.).
• Webinar Recordings: For your automated webinars, download the MP4 video files of the recordings. Navigate to the 'Recordings' section of your past webinars to find the download option.
• Presentation Slides: If you uploaded a slide deck, download the original file (PPTX or PDF). It's always better to have the source file for the highest quality.
• Chat Logs & Q&A: Export the chat, Q&A, and poll results from your past successful webinars. This data is a goldmine for understanding customer questions and objections, which you can use to train your new AI Sales Agent in WebinarKit.
• Analytics & Reports: Download any summary reports on attendance rates, conversion rates, and engagement. This will serve as your performance benchmark to compare against the superior results you'll get with WebinarKit.

3. Map Your Current Funnels and Automations

Take screenshots or notes of your current webinar funnel setup in BigMarker.

• Pages: Document the look and copy of your registration and thank you pages.
• Emails: Copy the text from your reminder and follow-up email sequences. Note the timing of when each email is sent (e.g., 24 hours before, 1 hour before, 1 day after).

You won't be recreating this 1-to-1. Instead, you'll be upgrading it using WebinarKit's higher-converting templates and more powerful automation, but having the original content is a useful starting point.

4. Sign Up for Your WebinarKit $1 Trial

This is the most important preparatory step. You don't need to cancel BigMarker yet. The best way to migrate is to have both platforms active for a short period. This allows you to build and test your new funnels in WebinarKit without interrupting your current lead flow.

Go to the WebinarKit Best Deal Ever page and start your $1 trial. This gives you immediate access to both WebinarKit Automated and WebinarKit Live, so you can migrate all your webinar types. With your account active and your data exported, you're ready for the main event.

The Step-by-Step Guide: How to Switch from BigMarker to WebinarKit

Now we get to the exciting part: building your new, more powerful webinar machine in WebinarKit. Follow these steps, and you'll be up and running in no time.

Step 1: Setting Up Your WebinarKit Account

Once you've started your trial, your first 15 minutes in WebinarKit will be about personalization and basic setup.

1. Complete the Onboarding: Follow the simple welcome prompts to get acquainted with the dashboard.
2. Add Your Branding: Go to the 'Settings' area and upload your company logo and set your brand colors. This ensures all your funnel pages and emails are automatically branded to your business.
3. Configure Email Settings: WebinarKit's built-in email sender works great out of the box. You can simply set your "From" name and email address. If you have a custom SMTP service, you can optionally connect it here.
4. For Agencies (Optional): If you're an agency migrating clients from BigMarker, explore the white-label webinar platform settings. You can add your own branding, custom domain, and manage client sub-accounts, providing a fully branded experience you can resell.

Step 2: Recreating Your Automated Webinars with AI (The Fast & Better Way)

You could just upload your old MP4 recording from BigMarker, but that's thinking small. The switch to WebinarKit is an opportunity to 10x your content with minimal effort using AI. This is the recommended path.

1. Launch the AI Webinar Builder: From your WebinarKit dashboard, click 'Create New Webinar' and select the 'AI Webinar Builder' option.
2. Enter Your Prompt: Take the topic of your most profitable BigMarker webinar and turn it into a prompt. Instead of just "Real Estate Webinar," get specific: "Create a webinar that teaches new real estate agents how to get their first 5 clients using social media."
3. Let the AI Work: In about 3-5 minutes, WebinarKit will generate a complete webinar package:
   • A compelling, psychologically-structured webinar script.
   • A full deck of professionally designed slides that match the script.
   • An engaging, human-like AI voiceover to narrate the presentation.
4. Customize and Enhance: Review the generated content. You can easily edit the text on any slide, change images, and tweak the script. This is also where you can add your unique offer slides.
5. (Optional) Use AI Avatar Narration: Want to make it even more personal? Use the AI Avatar feature. You can record a short video of yourself to clone your face and voice, then have your digital twin present the entire webinar flawlessly. It's the perfect blend of personalization and automation.

Pro-Tip: Why is this better than using your old recording? The AI builds your webinar based on sales principles and conversion-focused copywriting. It's likely to be more engaging and effective than your old presentation. Plus, it feels fresh and new to your audience.

(If you absolutely must use your old recording, you can simply choose the 'Upload Video' option when creating your automated webinar and upload the MP4 you downloaded from BigMarker.)

Step 3: Migrating Your Live Webinars

Setting up live events in WebinarKit Live is refreshingly straightforward.

1. Create a New Live Event: Navigate to WebinarKit Live and click 'Schedule a Live Event'.
2. Enter Details: Give your webinar a title, description, and schedule the date and time.
3. Upload Your Assets: Upload the slide deck (PDF/PPTX) you exported from BigMarker. You can also pre-load any videos or special offers you plan to share during the event.
4. Activate the AI Sales Agent (Live Mode): This is a crucial upgrade. Before your event, you can prime the AI Sales Agent with information about your product, common questions, and links. During the live webinar, the agent will appear in the chat, answering questions for you in real-time. This frees you up to focus on presenting while the AI handles sales support, dramatically increasing engagement and conversions. It's like having a dedicated sales assistant on every call.

Step 4: Building Your High-Converting Funnels in WebinarKit

Now, let's replace your BigMarker registration pages with something far more effective using WebinarKit's built-in webinar funnel builder.

1. Choose a Template: For each webinar you create (AI-generated or live), go to the 'Funnel Pages' tab. You'll see templates for the Registration Page, Thank You Page, and Replay Page. These templates are based on designs that have generated millions in sales for our users.
2. Customize the Registration Page: Click to edit the page. Use the simple editor to add your headline, bullet points (use the ones from your old BigMarker page as a starting point), and set your brand colors. The process is intuitive and visual.
3. Configure the Thank You Page: Edit the thank you page to confirm their registration and build anticipation. This is a great place to add a link to your Facebook group or a short welcome video.
4. Set Up the Replay Page: The replay page is automatically generated. You can control access, enable or disable chat replay, and set an expiration date to create urgency.

Step 5: Importing Contacts and Setting Up Automations

It's time to bring your audience into their new home and set up communication that drives attendance and sales.

1. Import Your CSV: Go to the 'Contacts' section in WebinarKit and find the 'Import' option. Upload the CSV file you exported from BigMarker. You can map the fields (name, email) and add these contacts to a specific list or tag them (e.g., "Imported from BigMarker - Product A Webinar").
2. Build Your Automations: For each webinar, go to the 'Automations' tab. This is where WebinarKit truly shines over BigMarker.
3. Pre-Webinar Sequence: Create a sequence for 'Registrants'. Add emails and SMS messages to go out at key intervals (e.g., immediately upon registration, 24 hours before, 1 hour before, 15 minutes before). Use the included templates and customize them with your webinar details. The goal is to maximize your attendance rate.
4. Post-Webinar Sequence: This is where you make your money. Create separate sequences for attendees who saw the offer and those who missed the webinar. For example:
   • Attendees (Saw Offer): Send a replay link, a summary of benefits, testimonials, and a series of emails addressing common objections and reinforcing scarcity (e.g., "Bonus expiring in 24 hours").
   • No-Shows: Send a "Sorry we missed you" email with the replay link, emphasizing what they missed and encouraging them to watch before it expires.

Since this is all built-in, you may now be able to cancel your subscription to a third-party autoresponder like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign, saving you even more money each month.

Step 6: Activating the AI Sales Agent for Maximum Conversions

We touched on this earlier, but it deserves its own step because it's the most significant upgrade from BigMarker. For your automated webinars, the AI Sales Agent is your 24/7 salesperson.

1. Access AI Agent Settings: In your automated webinar setup, go to the 'AI Sales Agent' tab.
2. Provide Product Information: Paste in the details of your offer—features, benefits, price, and the link to your sales page.
3. Add FAQs and Objections: Remember those chat logs you downloaded from BigMarker? This is their moment to shine. Enter the most common questions and objections your prospects have. For each one, provide the perfect answer.
4. Set the Personality: Choose a personality for your agent (e.g., Helpful, Professional, Enthusiastic).
5. Enable the Agent: Turn it on. Now, as people watch your automated webinar at any time of day or night, the AI Sales Agent will be in the chat, answering their specific questions, handling their objections with the answers you provided, and guiding them to your offer. This single feature can dramatically increase your sales while you sleep.

Step 7: Testing and Going Live

Before you direct all your traffic to your new WebinarKit funnels, run a quick end-to-end test.

1. Register for your own webinar using a spare email address.
2. Confirm you receive the registration confirmation email.
3. Check that the reminder emails are sent correctly.
4. Watch the webinar (or a portion of it) and interact with the AI Sales Agent. Click the offer link.
5. Verify that you receive the correct post-webinar follow-up sequence.

Once everything looks good, update the links in your ads, on your website, and in your social media profiles to point to your new WebinarKit registration pages.

Step 8: Sunsetting Your BigMarker Account

This is the final, rewarding step. Once your new funnels are live and you've confirmed everything is running smoothly for a few days, you can confidently log into BigMarker for the last time.

Navigate to your billing settings and cancel your subscription. Congratulations! You've just eliminated a significant monthly expense and upgraded your business to a more intelligent, automated, and profitable platform. Enjoy the freedom of lifetime ownership.

Real-World Example: Migrating a "Coaching Program" Webinar

Let's make this tangible. Imagine you're a business coach selling a $997 online program. Here’s what your migration looks like in practice.

Before: Your Setup on BigMarker

• Webinar: An on-demand version of a 60-minute live presentation you recorded three months ago.
• Funnel: A standard BigMarker registration page. Email reminders go out 1 day and 1 hour before. A single follow-up email with the replay link is sent to everyone.
• Engagement: You or a VA have to manually check the chat questions once a day and email prospects back, often 12-24 hours after they've lost interest.
• Cost: You're on the Premier plan to handle your attendee numbers, costing you $199/month ($2,388/year).
• Results: The webinar converts at 2%. For every 100 attendees, you make two sales ($1,994).

After: Your New Setup on WebinarKit (1 Week Later)

• Webinar: You used the AI Webinar Builder with the prompt "Create a webinar for aspiring coaches on how to sign their first 3 high-paying clients." The AI generated a new, more dynamic presentation. You then used the AI Avatar feature to have a digital version of yourself present it, saving you from re-recording. Total time spent: 90 minutes.
• Funnel: You used a WebinarKit template for your registration page, which increased sign-ups by 15%. You set up a 5-email post-webinar sequence that's segmented for attendees and no-shows, and you added SMS reminders which boosted attendance by 25%.
• Engagement: The AI Sales Agent is now active 24/7. It instantly answers 85% of prospect questions (e.g., "Is there a payment plan?", "How long do I get access?"). It handles objections like "I don't have time right now" with pre-written, persuasive responses.
• Cost: You paid a one-time fee for the Best Deal Ever bundle. Your recurring webinar software bill is now $0/month.
• Results: With higher attendance and the AI Sales Agent closing deals in real-time, your conversion rate jumps to 8%. For every 100 attendees, you now make eight sales ($7,976). You achieved a positive ROI on the lifetime deal in your first week.

This isn't a hypothetical scenario; it's the reality for thousands of WebinarKit users who made the switch. You're not just changing software; you're fundamentally upgrading your business's earning potential.
