eWebinar and WebinarKit at a glance
This page is written by the WebinarKit team, and WebinarKit is our product. eWebinar is described through its public help center, which we link wherever we rely on it.
eWebinar turns a recorded video into an interactive automated webinar. A presenter records once, then sessions run on a recurring schedule or on demand, with timed interactions layered over the video. Teams often use it for product demos, customer onboarding, recurring training and evergreen sales presentations that should feel attended rather than replayed.
WebinarKit is a webinar marketing platform for automated and live events. Registration funnels, reminders, delivery, timed offers, replays and follow up sit in one account, and paid webinars, an AI webinar builder and AI chat responses are part of the product.

Selling inside the webinar: paid access and checkout
eWebinar's help center lists three ways to sell access to a session. Every one relies on an outside processor, PayPal, Stripe or EventBrite, and two of them add Zapier to carry the buyer from the payment step into eWebinar registration (eWebinar help center). For a team that already keeps those accounts tidy, that is a reasonable setup. It does mean a checkout page, a connector and a registration record that have to agree with each other every time someone buys.
In WebinarKit the price is a setting on the webinar itself. A buyer pays on the registration step, receives confirmation and lands in the watch room from the same system, so there is one record of the sale and the seat. Premium replays can be sold through that same checkout after the event. Our payment processing guide walks through the options.
How eWebinar sessions are built
eWebinar starts from a finished recording. You upload the video, set a schedule, and then place interactions on the timeline so they appear at chosen moments. Those interactions are the heart of the product: questions to the audience, polls, downloadable handouts, calls to action and short prompts that invite a reply. Chat is a key part of the experience, and eWebinar is known for letting a team answer attendee messages from a shared inbox even though the presentation itself is recorded. The result is a format that sits between a webinar and a guided video, built so viewers interact rather than sit back.
Scheduling is flexible. Sessions can recur at set times, run on demand, or both, and registrants pick a slot that suits them. That makes eWebinar a natural fit for repeatable conversations, such as a weekly product tour or a standing onboarding class, where the content changes rarely and the audience changes constantly.
Typical eWebinar use cases
- Product demos for SaaS teams. A recorded walkthrough runs several times a day, and the sales team picks up questions from chat.
- Customer onboarding. New users attend a recurring session that explains setup, with handouts linked at the right moment.
- Training and education. Repeatable lessons where interaction keeps attention but a live presenter is unnecessary.
- Evergreen marketing presentations. A recorded pitch that should feel attended, with timed prompts guiding viewers to a next step.
In each case the strength is the same: a recording that behaves like a session. The questions to ask are how payment fits in, how follow up happens after the session, and how much of the funnel lives in other tools.
What changes for an eWebinar user in WebinarKit
The recorded session model will feel familiar, because WebinarKit also runs automated webinars from a recording on a schedule. The differences show up around the session. Registration pages and thank you pages are built in WebinarKit, reminders go out by email and SMS from the same account, and clickable offers, handouts and polls appear at set moments during the presentation. A chat simulator and chat library prepare messages for automated sessions, and AI chat responses reply to attendee questions in real time.
For teams that mainly run demos and onboarding, those extras may matter less than eWebinar's interaction design. For teams selling a course, a coaching program or a paid workshop, having checkout, offers and follow up in the same place tends to shorten the setup.
Moving an eWebinar session to WebinarKit
- Download the recording you use in eWebinar and upload it to WebinarKit's video hosting.
- Choose the format: automated on a schedule, just-in-time, instant watch or a multi-day series.
- Rebuild your timed interactions as WebinarKit offers, handouts and polls at the same timestamps.
- Load your common questions into the chat library and turn on AI chat responses.
- If the session is paid, set the price in WebinarKit and remove the Zapier step from your old flow.
- Embed the registration form on your site, then run both versions side by side before switching traffic.

Where eWebinar fits
eWebinar fits teams whose recorded sessions exist to educate or demonstrate, where a human answering chat adds most of the value. It suits SaaS onboarding, customer training and product tours, especially when payment is rare or already handled by PayPal, Stripe or EventBrite with Zapier in the middle. Teams that like a focused tool for interactive recordings, and keep email, pages and payments elsewhere, will find the scope comfortable.
Where WebinarKit fits
WebinarKit fits sellers who want the recorded session to close the sale. Payment, registration and access run in one flow, offers appear at the moment the pitch lands, and AI chat responses handle questions when nobody is watching the inbox. It also suits teams that want a live launch through WebinarKit Live and an evergreen version of the same webinar under one login.
AI tools compared with eWebinar
eWebinar users usually arrive with a finished recording. WebinarKit's AI webinar builder helps one step earlier: give it your website or a short offer description and it drafts the sales webinar script and builds the slide deck, with an optional AI avatar presenter. During sessions, AI chat responses reply to questions so the shared inbox carries less weight. See our AI webinar tools guide.
Formats beyond eWebinar
Where eWebinar centers on recurring and on demand recordings, WebinarKit adds like-live, just-in-time, instant watch and multi-day formats, plus live events through WebinarKit Live, all with email and SMS follow up, calendar invites and replay pages in the same account.
Pricing model
WebinarKit plans include unlimited funnels, registrants and attendees with no per attendee fees, so a demo that suddenly draws a bigger crowd does not change the bill. eWebinar's plan structure is on its own pricing page, and we do not quote it here.
