WebinarJam vs Zoom: which webinar software is right for you?

Zoom is both a desktop in-browser application and downloadable software. WebinarJam can be used on any device.

WebinarJam supports event promotion with branded registration pages, email templates, and email reminder sequences. Zoom offers customizable registration pages, as well, but severely limits registration moderation.

WebinarJam offers a wide variety of activation features such as chats, polls, and Q&As, but has no virtual background tool. Zoom also offers chats, polls, and Q&As, but does not offer a CTAs.

Finally, while WebinarJam gives users access to some basic analytics and supports on-demand webinars, it has a major drawback: events cannot be automatically shared with attendees. Zoom offers an in-depth analytics dashboard that can help event hosts improve their sales conversion processes. However, it is very limited in its automation functionalities. For example, it is not possible for Zoom users to automate the start or end of their webinars.

WebinarJam does not offer its users a huge amount of integrations, but it does have a few, like Drip, Keep, and Mailchimp. Zoom, on the other hand, has a wide variety of integrations available, such as Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Hubspot.

Those who are not satisfied with WebinarJam’s integration options may be able to create their own, thanks to its API. Zoom also provides an API as well as a developer hub that offers tips and tutorials on how to use it.

Even though WebinarJam offers an API to facilitate the creation of custom integrations, it does not offer an SDK to facilitate the creation of plugins and widgets. On the other hand, Zoom offers a fully customizable Video SDK with minimal code required, which companies can use to improve the webinar experience.

WebinarJam does not have an app marketplace that displays its integration options. However, Zoom’s apps and integrations are all listed in the Zoom App Marketplace on its website.

There is no free plan available for WebinarJam, although all products do have a 14-day free trial. Zoom does offer a free plan, however, which supports an unlimited number of meetings with up to 100 participants. These meetings cannot last longer than 40 minutes.

The least expensive WebinarJam plan, Basic, supports as many as 500 attendees for $499 a year. Zoom’s closest equivalent is its Pro plan, which supports up to 100 participants for about $15 a month.

WebinarJam’s plan for small businesses, Professional, starts at $699 per year and supports up to 2,000 participants. Meanwhile, zoom’s similar Business plan starts at about $20 per month and supports up to 300 attendees.
